Hammer time

We all chilled out all day today, chatted and everyone drank loads of tea! Nan and Grandad like their hot drinks - and Dad loves being waited on hand and foot, just like when he lived here!

M&D headed off to see Dad's favourite football team in the evening - West Ham. They played Tottenham at Upton Park. It was a bit late, so I stayed home with Nan and Grandad, but this is what Dad said about it after:

"Your Mum and I went to the pub first and it was great to be in a sea of Claret and Blue - after years on being the only one wearing West Ham colours in NZ. We got a very busy tube down to Upton Park - but the singing began on the platform before we even left!! "I'm forever blowing bubbles, pretty bubbles in the air...."

35,000 people were at the game, so the singing and chanting was incredibly loud - a bit louder than the fever zone at the cake tin!

It was great being there and supporting my team, but unfortunately they lost 2-0 and after the 2nd goal most people just stood up and left. There wasn't much time left on the clock, but I was gonna savour every moment there (and the tickets cost us and arm and a leg)!!! We waited until the end and joined the throngs of people trying to get on the tube. It was a good night out - even with a crap result!"
