The Fall- Injuries

The scab on my chin has gone! All that remains is a bit of dry skin that doesn't scream "Look at meeee!" anywhere near as much as a massive horrible scab and red swelling. Also, I've managed to fix one of the bracelets that Roxy broke when she tripped me. This pleases me because it was a lovely one that Jay bought for me because he knows how much purple is The Best Colour.

So that's it, everything from The Fall, injuries and damages is now done, dusted and fixed :o)

Roller Derby

Roller derby last night didn’t involve much roller derbying. We had a guest speaker in ‘Fu Man Chew’ who refs all the big games including the world cup (I didn’t even know there was a world cup!) and he went through some of the hand signals and different types of penalties with us. We then had to get on track and try out what we’d learnt. We were only skating for about 20 minutes, it was hardly worth getting sweaty for. I learnt a lot but, oh my god, the more you learn, the more questions pop up. The rules are so ambiguous and everyone was asking a million questions. What happens if only one foot is off track? What happens if you lost points due to an illegal block? What happens if you gain an advantage by accident? Thankfully, even the people who’ve been doing it for years were also asking questions. It seems you never fully learn all the rules as a player, it must be even harder being a ref.

I've been thinking about names. I know it's going to be ages (at least a year or two) before I'm actually playing in games, but I've been wasting time using my time wisely at work thinking of names I could have. As my name is Michelle, I could maybe use that as a play on words. So I've come up with the following for ideas.
MICH CREANT
MICH DEED
MICH DEMEANOUR
MICH ANTHROPY
MICH FORTUNE
MICH GUIDED
MICH AISLE (This sounds like missile when read out in an English accent. Probably won't make sense to Americans who say missile like missle.)
MICH TRUST
MICH TREAT
MICH HAP
SHELL SHOCKED

My mam came up with Bomb Shell, but I'm pretty sure that's already taken.

There are two games on Sunday that I'm NSOing at; I'll be penalty timer for the first game and score tracker for the second game.

I'm going to be missing at least three Sunday sessions in August due to being away for them. Mam and dad are coming for 8th-10th August so I hope they don't mind if I go for that Sunday's session, so I'm not missing out too much!

Chillifields

As my Sunday is full of roller derby, my Saturday is full of Chillifields. Only two days until the big performance! I'll see if I can video our set and upload it.

I've had lots of ideas from people for my tuna fishcakes for the burger competition, so I think I'll include chilli flakes, melted cheese in the middle and a sesame seed coating.

New Business

I almost had a new customer today. A lady wanted me to look after her cat when she went on holiday, but she rang and cancelled the consultation as her neighbour is going to do it this time. But she said she'll need me in the future so I'll keep hold of her number :o)
