Morning!
I just got up (well, it's only 9.30am here).
I went to my first professional soccer match last night to watch L.A. Galaxy play. It was an ace match, we won 3-1.
But I wore my Hull City shirt, and had quite a few people ask me if I know Jozy Altidore - he's a yank that's playing for Hull City.

Soccer eh?
So do the yanks do decent songs like what we do?
"with a c and an a and an r and an l,
and an I and an s and an l and an e"
etc.

One end of the stadium
was shouting "LA" and our end was shouting "Galaxy". It was mildly amusing.
But, this being America, it's a "family" game so you don't swear, or call the ref a wanker or anything.
Although my friend was amused when I asked when could I start the fight.

You can take the girl out of Hull...
And it sounds like they've completely re-branded the game :-(
it's just not cricket.
So what's on the cards for today?

Just lazing around and cleaning up
Off to Vegas tomorrow for a few days.

Vegas should be molto fun!
We've got a bank holiday tomorrow so it's a long weekend and loads of cooking!
I'm just waiting on two of the second batch of croissants proving, the other ten have been popped in the freezer.
I made pierogi for dinner tonight and I'm stuffed now.
Since i gave up drinking I've found myself cooking and eating almost constantly.
I'm gonna be the size of a house soon if I'm not careful...
