The sun shone, races were won, and medals were handed out. The kids attend a small school with kids aged from 4 - 11, but only 105 pupils. This creates a great atmosphere, all the kids know each other by name, and the big ones really look after the little ones. The Head Teacher is very "old school" and believes that kids should know that there are always winners and losers. Hence winners got medals, losers were praised for trying and every kid got an ice lolly when the afternoon was done. My son won the "beanbag on head" race, and the most goals scored by an under 6. My daughter showed off her skills by winning two running races and her team won the relay. Then it was the turn of the Mums and Dads. Mums kicked off their heels and took part in a "beanbag under the chin" sprint which involved lots of giggling and holding onto bossoms because they all forgot to wear sports bras. The Dads race was altogether a different affair. From the start it was obvious that this was going to be taken very seriously. Trainers emerged from bags, sunglasses were removed and phones and keys were taken out of pockets. My husband decided to give it a go (just for a laugh you understand) but he just so happened to be wearing his best gym trainers. A beanbag was placed under every Dads chin, and another between thier knees, and they were off across the school field like they'd called last orders at the bar. Gavin (my husband) was doing well for a big lad (16 stone rugby player) until the final moments of the race when he made a spectacular leap for the finish line, rugby tackled another Dad to the floor and somersaulted across the line. There then commenced the Dance of Victory which involved lots of punching the air and back-slapping (Gavin) and lots of dirty looks (all other Dads). He won a bottle of wine, but then proceeded to invite all the other Dads to the pub for a victory drink and post race celebrations. This lasted well into the evening, and when he returned late last night you might have been forgiven for thinking he had single-handedly won the Olympic Gold. Worst thing is, he's now in training for next year.... http://www.absoluteradio.co.uk/vip/profile/sambucca1/blog/20953/When_Muppets_Go_Bad.html?pid=832343?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=xml&utm_campaign=rss Thu, 07 Jun 2007 10:20:36 +0100 sambucca1 http://www.absoluteradio.co.uk/vip/profile/sambucca1/blog/20953/When_Muppets_Go_Bad.html?pid=832343 Ever wondered what the Muppets do when they aren't singing the ABC and being nice?

Well a very similar thing happened to me yesterday. My husband and I were in the garden, pottering about,  and we had a huge wheelbarrow full of earth that we needed to dispose of. Its been raining here, alot, and the wheelbarrow of dirt had turned into a wheelbarrow of mud (well, clay actually as that it the type of soil we have here). I huffed and puffed and moved the wheelbarrow about 200 feet down the garden, whilst hubby looked on. When it came to tipping it out onto the scrub at the back of the garden, I couldn't do it, it was way too heavy - so along comes hubby to save the day. We decided to lift the wheelbarrow between us, and after the normal "1, 2, 3..." we lifted the wheelbarrow up, I promptly shouted "No, its too heavy, put it down", so he did. He dropped it. On to the bridge of my foot. All 15 (or so) stone of it. And the metal wheelbarrow. There then followed much swearing (me) and stomping off in a huff (him). Trouble is when I do anything like this I always get the giggles - and the more it hurts, the more I laugh. I got up, tried to walk and fell on the floor laughing (I swear, it hurt SO bad). I tired to tell my dear husband it was agony, but because I was laughing he refused to believe me. Two hours and one enormous purple foot later we arrive at Accident and Emergency. Not broken (thankfully) but swollen tendons and wonderful shades of purple green and black. As I said, when I nod my head, you hit it.......
