it was only Friday (or possibly Thursday).

This is mainly due to my lack of home internet connection,  and being a lazy fecker. Hopefully BT will resolve their problems with our line and I'll be able to get on. I haven't stolen internet time from my neighbours although the temptation is there every time I switch on, with my laptop offering me all manner of open connections. Come on BT, get your act together you useless bastards - It's been a week now. Is it any wonder we're moving to talktalk?

Anyway, that's the why out of the way. So what's happened? Not too much really. Sunderland have lost twice. I went for a drink in London and 'bumped' into some other Sunderland fans . I received a text saying I had tickets for Southend away. I played two games of 5 aside on Monday night( won both games) and am suffering from an exhausting pre season training session last night (It's easy to forget how unfit you are until you tell everyone to run round a field and are expected to be at the front..). My family home becomes a bachelor pad from Monday(for 3 whole weeks!), which basically means I'll be sat in on my own doing bot all .

Sounds great actually.

This afternoon I'm off to the most exciting place in England.... that's right, Luton - for a disaster recovery test  .

Might upload some pics...
