Pompey, hockey, music, relentless optimism, humour (no, seriously), planes, NHS, all things emergent. Views not checked by my wife, which can only end badly...

Looking at the pics from our tourney & I’m a 6’ 2” grown man but these 2 pics actually made me tear up. The absolute joy on Fenton’s face when I grabbed his wheelchair & I got him on the ice to score a goal. That’s @tyhafan That’s @ukfallstars

Aaaaand we’re done. Mini-AllStars is over. Thanks Cardiff. It’s been a blast. We came. We saw. We played nicely with our friends (😂). We played some great hockey but came up short with just 2 secs to go in the final itself, going down 1-0 to a very good Kidney Wales side. 💚

Memories of that morning when I had to take the kids to school and Mrs Rick felt it vital to WhatsApp me with key instructions…
As if I’d forget a child….

From 13 years ago…
“A strange thing happened today. For the first time in 24 matches Pompey scored more goals than the opposition. I'm not sure what you call it when that happens in a game but I like it...”
Perspective… 👀

Gutting 90th minute 0-1 home loss. Sometimes football just hates on you. We played really well too and should have been 3-0 up at half-time but, as we all know, you have to take your chances when you’re on top.
Still, the beefy goodness will carry me through… @bovril_official

It's Valentine's Day. The day my fiancé realises she wants to marry someone just like me; only richer, tidier and with a different sense of humour...
