Random weekly round-up

So Week One in the new place has gone swimmingly and we’ve fully settled in. It’ll take a while to get sorted with some furnishings but the basics are in (including a mattress that now occupies my floor). The bed needs to be complete once we get on to Ikea for the missing pieces while I also need a wardrobe but apart from that it’s great to be so settled now. We had our first official gathering last night with Pizza and Top Gun so that was a good way to officially welcome us in. I must point out that Pizza and Top Gun are not names of our friends; rather we ate pizza and watched Top Gun the movie.

The fixtures have given us a nice start to the season but having to wait until 2008 to visit Elland Road was a bit disappointing, especially as it’ll be changed to a Tuesday night should one of us reach the F.A. Cup Third Round! The big trip to Carlisle falls on a bank holiday but could be worked into my busy schedule depending on what I’m doing at the time.

The fixtures coming out combined with the positive Crowe news has put me in very high spirits about next season. Stuart Gray and David Cardoza are obviously saying all the right things in order to keep Crowe, Bunn, Doig and the Johnsons while Danny Jackman sounds like a decent buy as well. Everything coming out of the club is good at the moment and I can’t remember a more anticipated start to a season for many a year. We still have two long months to wait but hopefully it’ll be worth it!

I’m at a free music festival down here in Southampton tomorrow so hopefully it’ll be sunny enough to enjoy to the full!
