Day 60

Day 60

Wednesday

For the third week in a row, I had a session at Parkinson's memorial school and for the third week in a row they were mental.

Upon Arrival, 25 minutes early admittedly, I was interrogated through my car window by about 5 girls. Despite it being funny and somewhat innocent, my window was wound up a few minutes later! I had two hours of coaching with them ahead of me, I needed some alone time before I entered battle!

The session went pretty well to be fair, Mr Cummings told me that he had tried heading the week before so I thought I would try and capitalise on that and as how they were at heading. Of course, they were adamant that they couldn't header the ball but I got them doing it in no time, mission accomplished. We also focused on some shooting where the girls have improved massively from a couple weeks ago, which was of course nice to see! Despite what I have portrayed Parkinson's Memorial to be like, I've really enjoyed my time there and they have a hugely dedicated teacher in Mr Cummings, so fingers crossed they'll improve!

Tonight was our farewell dinner at Zaccio's, there was around 20 of us and the meal was okay, not the best but it was the reason we were there, that was important. The holders (my family) said a nice little speech and sent me their best wishes and a save flight etc, where as Evan and Aran's didn't even wish them a safe flight or nothing, even when they were prompted to say a few words. Poor show from them I must say! Axel gave us all a few presents which was nice, a Brewster trust kit, some Brewster trust car accessories and new driving licenses, because our's run out that night! Very thoughtful of him.

All the best
