November

While yesterday was the 5th of November and I did remember Guy Fawkes night, I didn't celebrates it with a Bonfire and Fireworks as many people in England would have.

Instead I spent my evening playing "Innebandy" (indoor hockey) It is quite popular here in Sweden and most people are really good at it, so I wasn't too sure that I wanted to join in and be a hindrance to the team that ended up with me! But in the end I decided to play and did quite well, I was told that I "did much better than most American Elders when they first play" - I have decided to take that as a compliment! lol

Anyway after a fun evening of playing against different teams and getting bruised (6 in total) and thrown around, I was on the winning team:) So I couldn't have been to much of a hindrance!

Although I had fun, I'm quite achey today as I'm not used to it. I should have gone out today, for a walk at least, to get my muscles moving, but instead I stayed in to watch the Rugby!

As most of you know I am a big Rugby fan and I have spent most of the week trying to figure out how I would be able to watch the England v New Zealand game today. Rugby isn't a popular sport here (although I have heard that the country have a team!) so I couldn't find anyone that knew that is was on, or that was watching it. But I managed to sign up to a website and watch it, although the picture was poor and it kept stopping, it was better than not being able to watch it:) I thought, despite the result, that it was a good game and I'm glad that I got to see it:) I also watched the Ireland v South Africa game and enjoyed that too:)
