Profuse apologies for the quietitude. Been trying times sorting out the necessary paperwork etc. Entangled in red tape the Trabzponsor fixture was postponed... However a slackening of regs. means training can resume and the young Turks are slated to arrive this saturday {4pm ish}. On a positive note it provides time to ease the stiffness and various injuries picked up during the first two friendlies: welly burns, sprains, a gas mask forehead rub, general disorientation.. etc etc... A risque formation utilising the ten available, extra risk having no one on the bench..... Bath Quietman Murph Deeside Felonious RogerJ Pearo Chuffed Assassin Cheees On the front foot, playing through the lines.... Deep breathing, long Ommmmms, and Crown Chakra revitilisation for this weeks training..... EEFC v FC Trabzonspor 4pom ish Saturday 23rd May 2020.... Wassat? Only 10 available, boss??? Only 10? Have you dropped young Mr Burrows??? Ohhhhh - riiiiiiight…. (**taps side of nose with finger & winks**) disciplinary, was it, I suppose? Okay then. Anyway, I see you've switched me to the centre, as wheedled for politely requested, and next to the Deester. THANK YOU! Much 'appier there. Sort of Ryan Shawcross in a frock, and better legs than Maurice Setters but just as gutsy. Oh, PS, boss, how about calling our man Tel up as #11? He's always a good egg!

Glad the old Turks are still in the frame for this one let's hope they've got the right post code for the sat nav, at least the roads won't be too busy. Kit all polished and ready to go boss, I knocked up some flapjacks the other day for half time instead of oranges, stuffed with dried apricots and chocolate for extra vavoom. 4pm ish on the dot, won't be late.

About 5 weeks ago, when the nationwide loons were panic-buying all the loo rolls and there weren't any in the shops I treated myself to a new pair of earrings..... each a very fine silver chain, hanging down in a loop..... and each chain with a cute little tiny 1cm loo roll on it. Couldn't resist! (Also bought two more pairs and posted them to friends - much admired by recipients.)

Pictures with words murph, take care at 4pm ish on Saturday don't want you getting tangled up with the wrong sorts!!. Thanks, Chuff, I'll be careful. Btw, while we're on the subject of the EEFC training/dieting regime...... Was pratting about in Az for Greek cookbooks just now & saw this one in the link - I immediately thought of you when I saw all the little wotsits on the cover. (I think they're revolting, but I know you love them…….. ) Any road up, on using the 'look inside' button there's a recipe using wild garlic, which we were all talking about last week after Burnsy posted his brilliant pic of the vast expanse of it in the photos thread. The recipe is 'Salt-baked Beetroot with Wild Garlic' - looks lovely in the pic. (Then the conscience kicks in - 'Like I need another cookbook - I've got hundreds' - - but I think the temptation is too great to leave this one in the store…… my resistance is weakening……. hellllllp……) smile.amazon.co.uk/dp/1788790790?psc=1&pf_rd_p=b3104185-aeb8-4926-9b18-10dc930c841c&pf

You gonna pick me an' Dees up tomorrow, then, mate, or d'you want me to whistle Parker to do the honours in the Rolls? --- He's been getting a bit tetchy lately and yesterday he said that if this 'confined to quarters because of the virus' goes on any longer he'll forget which of the wheels is the one he steers with. I told him to stop whingeing and go and find some silver to polish, either that or ask Vlad for my riding boots and do those. I s'pose he's also getting bored since I've been off the G&Ts since August through ulcergate, so he can't even keep his hand in with the drinkies...... PLUS he's also been bickering with Anton, the Head Chef, recently, so I think he might be quite missing the tourists as he does seem to enjoy parading about in front of them as an obvious part of the place. Let me know about the transport, then, will you please, Chuff? Thx mate.

No problem with the transport murph, I'll sort out you and Dees just need a rough time ish, I'll adapt the vehicle to accommodate the current regulations, I can borrow a roof rack and the boot is pretty big. Perhaps line Parker up for a future trip, give him something to look forward to etc. Should be a great day, oh and if anyone's got a bit of rope for tying down on top that'll be handy 👍⚽️⚽️

As kind as it is of Murph to offer to get Parker to drive us all, it's really not a good idea if he's having another one of his strops (again). Murph really does need to have a word with him and remind him who's the boss ! I've been decorating the hall and stairs at Dees Towers this week, up and down the stairs, up ladders, my step count must be almost as high as doing the marathon so I should be raring to go by kick off. It'll be a Turkish Delight to sort out those geezers from Trabzonspor. Don't forget the flapjacks !

Oh, tell me about it - he's been going round sulking his head off for the last two months ever since lockdown started - he doesn't say anything much, just sulks - anyway, I've got it sorted. So now anytime I think he looks as though he might be thinking something mouthy I just kick his stick away. Works a treat!

Flapjacks all individually wrapped ready for half time with everyone's names clearly printed. I knew I'd find a use for that old Dymo I got for Christmas in 1973. Blowing an absolute hoolie here at the moment hoping it's a bit quieter inland. If everything has a faint whiff of sea salt you'll all know who to blame.

As long as it's only a whiff of sea salt I don't really mind ! Really strong winds at Dees Towers as well - there's a large tree about 50 yards from the house and it looks as though nearly all the leaves have been blown off and they're all swirling around on our lawn - I think I'll try to rake them up and make some leaf mould out of them, which will be good for the garden. Looking forward to the flapjacks - yum yum !

Either that or his food/drink experimentation has taken a mis-step & he's been on a foraged-ingredients hallucinogenic trip for 5 days.
The match report, when it appears, should be interesting.

Has anybody actually seen the gaffer since full time ?
I’m concerned he’s been abducted by those pesky Turks we played against. He’ll turn up over there having been forced at knifepoint into managing a new Turkish club. He will be most upset, after all, he’s never been a kebab lover.
He’s got half a packet of my custard creams and three of my slippers in his bag aswell... 🙄
