For some reason, I agreed to play on the DTC 5-a-side women's football team at the tournament today. We certainly had the best shirts (with our numbers in binary on the back).

We got to the top of the third hill at about 1415, thought "there's plenty of time, shall we climb another hill? I think I prefer... not" and went back down, catching the early train home for once.

If you wash the clothes right away, the mud and grass doesn't tend to stain.

This is why I always made sure to let my favourite pair of jeans sit at the bottom of my closet for a good fortnight after dragging them through the marshes at the Mai Po WWF Conservation Centre. There are still some grass stains on there that I'm very proud of.
