First I forgot to set my alarm clock after the weekend, subsequently having a rather leisurely awakening, followed by a frantic rush to get in a state fit for work.<br \/>\nBy now in September I would usually be heading up to Ruislip after work to play the piano for the Harlington Singers. However, sadly they are no more due to various reasons, I guess I&#8217;ll miss both the musical and social aspects which used to occupy my Monday evenings. No doubt, my piano playing proficiency will deteriorate due to a lack of regular change in repertoire. I should probably endeavour to play challenging pieces for pleasure.<br \/>\nTherefore, I am now a regular at the Monday evening five-a-side football games with my work colleagues, which in itself isn&#8217;t a bad thing. I now have a regular slot in which I maintain my physical fitness and, hopefully, my footballing skills and fitness level will improve over time. This evening&#8217;s game was interesting. I played mostly a defensive role, with only a few shots at the goal. A pleasing result at the end, with a win by a significant margin for the team I was on, and I managed to run around for pretty much the whole hour.<br \/>\nThe remainder of the evening was spent at Sarah&#8217;s playing various games and chatting. A very pleasant way to end the evening.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What a day!
