Time of the week

It's that Tuesday posting time again!

Saturday's Toon match was poor in quality and excitement and a subdued crowd saw Newcastle comprehensively beat Preston 3-0. If the team could have been bothered it could have easily been six or seven. Blackberry Internet reception is very good at St James Park which gives you an idea of just how unexciting the match was. It was nice though to see so many youngsters in the 45,000 crowd- the next generation of the Toon army.

There was a jaw dropping moment however in the second half when out of the Leazes Corner came a low sound of "There's only one Chris Hughton" .According to my Boss- a season ticket sufferer- this was the first time this had been heard at the ground.The first song of a new dawn perhaps??

Otherwise an uneventful weekend.

My wife started a temporary two week assignment doing some recruiting for a Government Agency relocating to the North East. It's boring work and not a great deal of money but it does get her out of the house. She has an interview this week for a year long contract in another part of the NHS.Fingers crossed again.

It was my daughter's birthday yesterday. She is now 17. How did that happen? Where has my baby girl gone? It was a quiet affair. She had some plans but as nearly always they came to nothing. She might, she tells us, go out at the weekend.
