One of these days I'll actually get a goal instead of just being an assist all the time. (sigh)

Won 2-0 against a really tough team. It could have gone either way (there were some hairy hairy moments in our defensive short corners, where our goalie and backs and halves were freaking AMAZING) but we held them to 0. Turns out this team is sitting at the top of the table and have 20 goals to their credit just 6 weeks into the competition. That's an average of 3 goals per game, which is CRAZY. And we shut them out!

Our brand new, never played before winger scored one of the goals, a lovely tap off a shot across goal that we practised at training. It was beautiful.

The other goal was from Shouty Girl the ex-Pres, whose birthday it was, and whose hard shot on goal got touched by one of the defence, which angled it in past the goalie. Which is awful as a defender and a goalie, but it happens. I was actively trying to angle it in past the goalie, but just missed. Ah well.

Our teams won 2-1 (A grade), lost 5-1 (B grade), and won 2-0 (C grade - my team). And then we went out to the RSL afterwards. It was pretty much the entire day tbh, but good social and hangout time, too.

My weekend vanished in a blur. They tend to do that lately.

Saturday I set up the quilting frame at a friend's house for quilting one of my show quilts. Not sure how well it's going to go, and maybe this wasn't the quilt to try it on but... It's on there, and we'll see how it all works out.

This week, work is looking piecemeal and complicated. Fandom is unwelcoming. Saleable writing is looking like an impossible pipe-dream. And I didn't hand in my intoabar assignment. Just couldn't find the words and scenario for it.

I had more thoughts, but I can't find the words for them right now.

So five positive things:

1. I am 3 blocks away from finishing the top of the 2nd quilt for the Sydney Quilt Show.

2. It was a surprisingly warm morning today.

3. Every day someone new reads through my Maria/Steve fic and kudoses a whole slew of them.

4. The chickens are still laying - even Hainan chicken - although it's getting very chilly and they're supposed to stop through the winter.

5. Nothing has yet eaten the brassicas I planted out a few days ago, and they seem to be putting down roots and growing.
