Catch up

Ok so it's been a while again since I posted anything. But besides little things that the wife posts about, nothing much else has been happening. England lost the World Cup final, but no real surprise there. SA were the better team throughout the competition.

As for me well, no refereeing so far this season as I have a hernia. That's what happens when you offer to load the camping trailer up on your own :( and it is going to be some time before a) they operate on it and b) before I recover from the surgery. So at the last society meeting I had what can only be called a "Brainwave". I decided to see about becoming an asssessor so that I could at least remain involved. So consequently this last weekend I get my first time out as an observer while our illustrious Society Chairman went through what really could only be classed as a MOT.

So I join the assessor as he goes through the after match de-brief expecting to just observe. This wasn't quite the case. Suddenly input was expected from me and I was caught like a rabbit in the headlights, totally unprepared, and with no notes to work from. So I joined in the conversation/de-brief with the tiny bits that I remembered. which really, the way the game was reffed, seemed more like nitpicking. Then I am informed that I need to write a report out for the match. so Sunday afternoon/evening is spent trying to figure out how to fill out the said report. It's funny though, when I actually sat down and thought about it, I could find a bit more to write about. Now I just have to wait and get feddback from the other assessor regarding my report.

As for this weekend, the assessor is our Illustrious Chairman. So I will wait with interest to see if he has anything to say about my report.
