Harry's Soccer Match

On Wednesday or so this week I got this email from Mel.

"Hi Kyles,

Harry has specifically asked me to invite you to come to his soccer game on Saturday.

10am at Dalton Park (Main Ave, Margate), Field 3."

Well now, of course I'll go!  So I made all the necessary arrangements to ensure I could be there.  I happened also to mention it to Mum and Dad, who knew they would be having Marcella that day - and they thought it would be a good opportunity to take the boys and the Divine Miss M afterwards to Queens Beach for a bit of a swim and a spot of lunch.  I happily agreed - and a plan was formulated.

So, on Saturday, after racing off for more blood tests to discover what my mystery illness is, I met Mel, Lach, Bethany and Harry down at Dalton Park and watched my lovely nephew run his little heart out trying to kick that soccer ball.  He was pretty good, too, he gave it a fair go.  In the second half we were joined by Marcella, Mum and Dad, and then oh boy - did Harry have a cheering squad!  I'm not sure he'll invite me again (he told me afterwards that I put him off calling out all the time)!

Here's a little slideshow I made of the event - by the way, I had to block out some kids faces as it is a sad fact, but in this day and age there's so many sickos out there that you can't even publish a photo which might accidentally have another kid in it without parental permission.  And seeing as I wasn't about to go around and ask every single parent if I could maybe upload their kids photo in a slideshow about my nephew... well, I chose the next best thing.  Crop as much as possible, and where that couldn't happen, blot out the other kids faces.  What is the world coming to?

Anyway, enjoy... if you can..
