Liverpool, Veggi Lasagna and The Village

Saturday afternoon and evening was filled with sport, food and a couple drinks in Wimbledon Village.

Thanks to Guy I was invited over to his house to watch the mighty Liverpool take on Luton Town for the 3rd round of the FA Cup. Now both Guy and I consider ourselves as jinxed... Whan I actually take the time to watch a game - the side I am supporting end up shooting not only themselves in the foot but also anyone connected with the effort... The game got off strongly with Luton Town coming at Liverpool and Liverpool looking disinterested in being there... However after a cracker of a goal from Stevie G one thought that Liverpool would go on and get another one or two... hummmm... First Luton Town got the equaliser, then they got another and soon after half time, after Liverpool stuffed a penalty shot from the spot... Luton got a THIRD (although SUPER dodgy)... I was shuffling on my set thinking "I am NEVER going to be invited back here again!!" and Guy was saying "If we come back from this I am going to get hammered tonight, but...". Then the game turned... A replacement and 4 unanswered goals later for Liverpool and the game was done! A perfect game of football for me - lots of goals!!! Not this nil-nil rubbish :)!!!

So we then tucked into some fine veggie lasagna made by Sarah, finished our drinks and hit Wimbledon Village to meet up with Laz. We started at the "Brewery Tap" (beers) and eventually moved on the "SW19" (Dbl Jack's and Coke)... but then the impossible happended... With the goverment now allowing late licenses one would expect a new place to have one... but NOOOOOO at 11pm the lights were switched on, the music turned off and the doors opended (to let in the cold air)... So we finised up and I trunded down to Winbledon Station and made my way home... A little tipsy but nowhere near what could have been.. Pity about the 'landmine' I missed seeing on my walk home, pity I didn't notice when I walked in the door... pity I didn't wipe my feet properly.... pity I walked all over the carpets in the house - OOOOOPS!!!! I had to do a little 'cleaning' on Sunday morning :(

However, all in all a fine weekend!
