Have been washing the dishes this morning singing "Wem - ber - lee" - on repeatTomorrow me and Joan go to Wembley - the National Stadium (in Wembley London) to watch our team The Saints play in the Challenge Cup final against Hull FC.
We were there last year and we won against the French Team 'Catalans'.
Please watch BBC TV tomorrow - Kick off 2.30 - I will wave and shout and scream but I guess you won't see me amongst the 90k humans.
Feel every tackle. Hear the crown grunt and groan as the players get the big hits. Watch the speed of the wingers - the kicking game which turns the teams around into defence. Watch the short passes between the the Saints runners which split the Hull team. Watch the dummy runners who attack the opposition line yet, they only do it to distract the main attack. And watch for the blood flowing as both sides collide.
Most of all, watch my long term hero of the team. I have never met him. Don't know his soul. Respect him from a distance. Love his solid consistent play. His distribution at the heart of the team.
Here is a link to a fantastic article about him. It is currently stuck on the front of our fridge.

I am excited but a bit of a split personality because I have still got injections in my bloodstream and still high.
Not 'H' but 'G'
The power drug has been The Greenbelt Festival and I have so much to unpack and here is where I do it.
I must reflect more because that scratching of my soul helps me learn and learn much more.
Read a four page article about Greenbelt in the Church Times today. Great stuff and yet I never saw that festival. Missed most of that. I saw and met and kissed a different one. Will try to get a link to that item for you.
Must go - I am in prep mode today in preparation for the week and especially three new groups I am entering into for the first time. Groups in Hostels around the country. Groups of unmotivated 'going through tough times beautiful humans' and I want to contribute to their lives .........
you are beautiful
my message to them
my message to you .................
