Footy
There was an industry football tournament about a week ago – 7 a side. With about a dozen teams, and our team having no substitutes we weren’t expecting much, but as we started to play and gel we came into some form. Dominating the pool stage, we pushed on through the semis and a final with a climatic ending with a penalty shootout. Victory was our, but after a good 2.5 hours of football in an afternoon we were shattered and welcomed a quick trip to the pub. We collected our Cup and prizes and headed back to the office to gloat.

House
Last weekend I put an offer on a two bed mid terrace house, on Monday it was accepted. I am really happy with it, (assuming it goes through without incident). It is less then 5mins from the tube and takes me about 30 minutes door to door for me to get to work. Will be great to get into my own place without people above or below me, BBQs in the back yard etc.

Dakar Challenge
Corde and I signed up for the Plymouth to Dakar rally in Jan '08. A ~4000mile rally through Europe and the west coast of Africa taking a little under a month to complete. We have submitted our application and just have to wait to see if it gets accepted before sorting out the finer details like finding a car. Its all for charity but sounds like a fantastic experience! If it gets accepted, I will set up a small side blog to keep you all informed of developments.
