Played one game of hockey in goals yesterday and we drew 1-1. I let one through - it was a really solid goal and I didn't get my foot in place in time, so that was on me. But I also stopped about four others, including one where I was basically holding the ball out of the goal with my stick while the attackers were trying to get it in with theirs. Uh. And I might have been swearing at top voice.
I apologised to the attacking players who I swore at, and to the umpires, terribly embarrassed. I think they took it okay. I don't usually get potty mouthed on the field, but my hindbrain took over and decided that it was a good time to bring out all the expletives.
The other game I played was on the field with Team 1. I'm not listed as a player with Team 1, but when they need someone to fill in on the forward line, I've offered both times, and we've won both times. This time the final score was 3-2. ( a bit more detail )
And speaking of mask-wearing: I'm trying to make masks - pretty ones of cotton - with a pocket for a protective insert. The inserts are being made from old "recycled shopping bags" material with a layer of quilting wadding inside them - for warmth and extra protection.
But, boy, is it a bit of sewing. And my brain is not fully in place for sewing just now. *sigh*

Work is still gearing up slowly. I got paid on Friday. One week's pay, which was very nice.
Other than that, it's another day in paradise, with COVID community transmission back on the rise in Sydney and NSW. Four local cases (as in 10km, local area) one in a school, one in a pharmacy, and one in the emergency room of the local hospital. A friend took her baby daughter there that night and was seen to by the employee who tested positive, so she's in quarantine for 14 days. At least the employee was wearing a mask, but...the next month is going to be a tough one.
