Today I played football, for the first time in maybe 7 or 8 years, and I am not fit at all for this type of activity, or any physical activity that requires me to run, jump, or exercise. I was invited by a bunch of friends here in Manchester to go and "join" them, I told them I cant play due to an old back injury. took the camera bag to have an excuse to shoot a bit, but ended up throwing it to the side and filling missing goal keeper gap. one thing lead to another and I was defending and sliding and basically doing what ever stupid thing I can to make myself not look as a complete novice, and I'm pretty sure that was the image the guys took away from the court.

Now I have what seems to be a swollen up finger(s), have to wait a while to know how many, and a torn up shoe that was good for at least a year of walking, not to mention that I was wearing jeans, and a shirt that was given to me as a gift from my wife. I'm walking with a limp, writing with one finger from one hand.

so the lesson of the day is:

Never inter into something as you are sure you'll come out of it not the same way in.
