Weekend

Yes I was really busy last week and quite busy this week too even though I've been ill all the time haha. Anyways last weekend I had 2 county matches which were a bit further away. One of them was in Glasgow, Scotland and the other one somewhere in England haha honestly don't remember where but about 2h drive upwards from Birmingham. The nights we stayed at a hotel in Carlisle and sorry to say that I didn't take any photos of the hotel but I did take some during the trip. I took them with my camera because as you know someone stole my phone and haven't got a new one yet but my dad has bought me one already from Finland and he'll send it to me as soon as he gets it.

On Friday evening at 7.40pm the coach and some players came and picked me up from home. And then it started.. The 3h long drive to Carlisle to our hotel. Well I don't really mind travelling so it wasn't that and let's say that company was quite good too haha. I even slept a bit during that 3 hours but when we finally got to the hotel I was really tired so I went almost straight to bed.

On Saturday morning we had a nice lie in and we had to wake up at somewhere around 10am. Then we went to eat some breakfast, packed our stuff and headed towards Glasgow. The drive was only about 1,5h which wasn't bad at all. We played 15 matches and I played in 4 of them. And I didn't win any of them.. But I hadn't done any sports in a week because I was ill so I think I have a reason to blame that. But all the matches were really close and I can just say that I was unlucky that day. We lost to Glasgow 8-7.

The hall that we played in in Scotland

After our matches we showered and went to Glasgow's centre. They had a German market over there too but apparently it wasn't as big as the one in Birmingham. We walked trough the city centre and it kind of already felt like it was Christmas because all of the lights and the decorations. They really do start Christmas early over here in UK. Not that I really mind because I love Christmas (:

After we had walked a while we went to a restaurant and I ate some kind of chicken enchilladas (not actually sure how to write it..). I had a massive headache pretty much during the whole evening and that's why I just wanted to get to the hotel as soon as possible but otherwise it was a nice day in Scotland.

After the meal we went back to our cars and drove all the way back to our hotel. Everyone especially me were tired but luckily some of the other players gave me some tablets and water so I felt a bit better and sleeping in the car also helped with my headache. And when we got to Carlisle I packed all my stuff and went pretty much straight to bed because I knew that we had an early morning next day.

 



 

On Sunday I woke up around 8.30am which really isn't super early but it's still too early.. I didn't really have time to eat breakfast properly so I just grabbed some food with me and then we had a 2h drive to the other place where we played. Before we went to the hall we went and bought some food and went also to costa. This time I played way better than I did in Glasgow. Or at least I won all of my matches. So I played 4 matches and won all of them and if I remember right we won 10-5 or something like that against that team. I was really tired and stiff during and after those matches so I was just really happy to go home and rest.

 

 

 

As you can see the weather is unpredictable..

 

After the matches we showered and started to drive home and it took about 2h again. I had a really nice weekend and I really enjoyed seeing other places in the UK. I hope I get more these kind of chances. Well I hope everyone had a lovely weekend and enjoy your next one too!
