FA Cup ...

Draw for the 3rd Qualifying Round ...

Lincoln Moorlands Railway v MOSSLEY
Ashington v HYDE/DROYLSDEN
Bamber Bridge/Warrington Town v STALYBRIDGE CELTIC/Alfreton Town

Hmmm ... all teams away (should they progress) - but Mossley at Lincoln - since getting home from work, I've done the calculations (81.8 miles - 1hr 57mins according to the AA website. A quick word with Mrs Smiffy, and I've got the use of the car - (should hopefully finish work about 1230/1300, so it'll be tight - probably turning up in Royal Mail uniform !!).

Work - well it's been an interesting day which started at 0300 hours this morning with a mercy dash to Tameside Hospital for small boy (he's had a chest infection for a few days, which led to severe breathing difficulties) - a couple of hours watching him sucking on the nebulizer/oxygen etc followed by the usual "hanging around" meant we all got home about 0730 - quick change and brekkie and out to work at 0815. Mondays are meant to be light, but naturally today was a bit of a bugger (lots of flats - cellophane-wrapped Christmas Catalogues, SkyMags, National Trust Magazines etc for the uninitiated !). Finished just about on time mind - and now home prepping a couple of meals for the poorly boy and his birthday "family meal". Large boy has arrived at Manchester Victoria and is waiting for the 1927 train - daughter has arrived (fresh from holiday in Fort William/Ben Nevis) - I'm probably going to keel over later - and I'm in early again tomorrow - more O/T (!!) - but I'd better not be too late at Mossley tomorrow night, just in case Gazza (new Garforth Manager) turns up ...


Back to the kitchen ...
