A Sunday to myself

Yesterday was lovely and strange at the same time. For the first time since last August I had a full Sunday to do whatever I wanted. No soccer, no training, nothing.

As much as I enjoyed this past season, I'm looking forward to a full weekend off for the next two months. Our season was recorded for posterity in our local newspaper, which Lee picked up for me last week :)

[There I am on the left with my Player's Player award. I was very touched and kind of embarassed to receive it - I think it was awarded because of my old age and not due to any playing ability ;)]

So what does one do on a Sunday off? I hit the gym for the first time in as long as I can remember. It still is as stinky as ever but at least there were fewer stinky creepers at 8 in the morning. I also hit up our local farmer's market as I really wanted to buy some fresh salad leaves, eggs, and some asparagus. The eggs and salad were no problem but there was no asparagus to be found. Given the fact that we live in what is considered to be the aspragus-belt of England, I was pretty disappointed. Luckily M&S came through in the end (and it was from just down the road in Evesham anyways).

I whipped up this light supper for Lee when he got home from work. Yes, I am a good domestic wife.

And not to gross you out, but this is the other reason why I'm glad to be done with soccer this year. My knees are in desperate need of a break. Otherwise I wll NOT be wearing any cute skirts or shorts this summer. [Can you tell I slide tackle a lot? Ha ha.]

Off to enjoy the first of two May bank holidays!

that salad looks delish and I never knew you were such a soccer superstar! The legs prove it, though:)

The salad looks awesome...your legs not so much! Heyzuz Sarah! Take it easy! You'll be in a granny-mobile by the time you're 50!

Hugs!
