Day37

So far this week we've had quite an easy schedule and most of the sessions haven't been too difficult. Today was no different, with no session until the afternoon. Joe asked us to get in about 10 as we were to have a meeting with Azille to discuss a new class we would be delivering. The learning centre has a basic computer skills class on a Monday afternoon but it has been very popular and there is now a waiting list to get on the course. That's where we come in, we are now going to be delivering a new class on a Thursday morning. Azille has sent over a presentation we must deliver and it looks quite basic so we should be able to do the class. Starting with the different parts of the computer, mouse, keyboard etc moving onto using Word and the internet with the eventual goal to set them up with an email address, quite simple for anyone the has been brought up with computers but difficult to those that haven't. We have so far managed to get 1 lady to sign up, hopefully more sign up in the next week or so.

We stayed around the learning centre until about 4 when everyone else went home, we instead of going home went off to the Italian club. We arrived about 40 minutes early and had a little kick around on the astro while we waited for the Drommedaris girls to arrive for their session. The conditions were awful, the wind over here is so strong, you can't complain about the weather we've had but that wind is horrible. Anyway the girls turned up, this is probably 1 of our worst ability groups, not because they're girls but because they have had little coaching, but they are probably the easiest to train, they work hard, they listen but unlike a lot of groups they have a laugh and a bit of banter. We did a shooting drill with them this week, their league starts tomorrow and after seeing them last time their general play isn't too bad but their shooting is off. Not helped by the wind but after a few tips and pointers improvement could be seen. We then decided to play a match, there were only 5 girls so Harry, myself and 1 of the coaches joined in to make a 4v4. Harry's team put up less fight than Arsenal did against Monaco midweek, we raced into a 4-0 lead, I must say Harry covered more blades of astro grass than anyone else and managed to drag his team back to 4-0. But it wasn't enough and I took the win to make it 3-1 in player/manager matches.

We finished up and went back to Berghof where we got changed quickly and went straight out. Today was Yonicks 18th birthday, so firstly happy birthday hope you had a good day. We were invited round to Joe's for SPOT NIGHT, it's basically a night where everyone in the local community is invited around for food and drinks and some fun, tonight was also kind of a birthday party for Yonick as well. It was a really good night and loads of people came out for it, Harry and I were knackered and left a bit early but not too early as we still managed to watch the talent show, my favourite was little Jordan, he is six years old walks out in front of everyone all shy in his Ben 10 jumper, music comes on and he's dancing all over the place, hand stands and everything, out of nowhere, nobody expected it. 

That's it for today. Tomorrow is the big start of the league, we are hoping a team turns up a bit short so we can get a few minutes, who knows.
