Saturday Hockey

Two good results from Saturday Hockey.  Ellie's team beat local rivals Albyne 3-2 in a very close and competitive game.  Ellie made some good saves and didn't stand much chance with the two goals that did get past her.

Isobel's team won 4-0 against Albyne in a game that was very one-sided.  Isobel stood around and did precisely nothing while her defence was rock solid in front of her.

"Billy No Mates" Isobel at one end

Whilst all the action was at the other end!

Gordon Ski Racer

Well we now have one very happy Ellie!  After many phonecalls she finally went up to Alford dry slope and had a try out for Gordon Skiers and was accepted!  She has now done two Sunday morning training sessions with them at the dry slope and has thoroughly enjoyed them.

Last week was the second hand sale at the club and Ellie is now the proud owner of a Gordon Skiers suit!

Isobel meantime is equally happy after the results of her maths and engineering science tests.  She scored 91% in her maths coming top of her class, and 48/51 in engineering science, again top of the class.  One thinks that Aidan (he who was heard to call Isobel a dumb blond!) may live to regret the comment!

Trying To Compete with Benny Goodman

Dad has been trying to drive the family mad (and succeeding) by endeavouring to master "Bach Goes To Town" on his clarinet.  Here is what the late great Benny Goodman sounded like on this Youtube clip.

We will spare you my version until it is has been perfected just a little more.
