I have finally ended up supporting the winning side at a hockey game! The Mooseheads beat The Saint John Sea Dogs 2-0 this afternoon, it's been a long wait. We had a lovely roast lunch with friends, Ian and Kerri, Chelsea easing past Arsenal 2-0 in the background. Then it was off to the Metro Centre in a 13-strong English mob to watch the game. New arrival, Tony asked if he could take his beer into the stand, of course you can - none of that "not in sight of the pitch" nonsense over here.
Bonus discovery this evening, there are consecutive home matches on the two sundays after Xmas! With these games kicking off at 4pm, we can take Thomas and Ellie, they have great time, lots of pop corn, fizzy drinks and sugar rushes. Thomas is more interested for the most part in the mascots who charge about the auditorium throughout the game, but Ellie likes the games and the "naughty bin" (sin bin) in particular.
Thomas is now taking a shine to his babysitter in waiting, Sam, after yesterday's visit to her house she spent more time playing with him today, now he runs after her, does she know what she's let herself in for?!
