\"fcpsh<\/a>… for Pionsat’s 3rd XI. Struggling near the foot of the table and desperate for points they were leading 2-1 tonight against the league leaders and playing like lions until not one but TWO wicked deflections robbed them of glory.<\/p>\n

When your luck is down it is really down.<\/p>\n

And it was flaming cold on the terraces tonight. Winter has returned, so it seems. Horrible grey overcast windy with driving rain. I couldn’t be bothered to get up this morning when the alarm went – I just wasn’t in the mood and it was 10:40 I when\u00a0 finally crawled out of my heaving pit.<\/p>\n

After a leisurely breakfast I wandered off to Commentry to do the shopping and had an excellent day in the Bargain Shop. Apart from the usual mundane nonsense and cheap food products I bought a blackboard for \u20ac3.50 and some chalk for 20 centimes, a mobile kind of table thingy, two levels and on wheels, for \u20ac2:00 and a little tiny rucksack thingy for \u20ac1 which, lined with an old foam gym mat that I have lying around, will make an excellent camera bag.<\/p>\n

After that it was off to Neris-les-Bains for my swim and shower. Yes, two showers in a week and we aren’t talking OUSA here either. I’ll be washing myself away here.<\/p>\n

But while I was in the swim all of a sudden about 30 young teenage girls wearing tight-fitting swimming costumes burst onto the scene. There was to be some kind of swimming tournament after the pool closed to the public. And as the girls were doing their exercises, rhythmically stretching their lithe and supple muscles, I didn’t know where to look
… “Ohhh yes you did” – ed … <\/i>
“I mean I had too much choice of where to look. 3 or 4 would have been sufficient”<\/i>
But really, it isn’t fair. I’m not young any more and I can’t cope with things like this. My heart can’t take the pressure any more.<\/p>\n

But it goes to show that I’m still quite capable of chasing after the women. I just hope that if ever I catch one I can remember what to do with her. And if I do remember what to do with one, I just hope that I will last long enough to be able to do it.<\/p>\n
