Messymascot's faith in humanity and ginger safe haven

Morning all, after last night this seems apt

Have a good day, all💙

Funnily enough G I was thinking of Rod yesterday.

Of all the artists in the 2nd hand record shop there were more Rod LPs than anyone else.

Not sure if that's because
a. Rod was/ is prolific or
b. Everyone has given away his records and no one wants to buy them lol.

Anyway in Evertonland I'm not sure when or if it will ever be "Tonight's the night" and "This old heart of mine " can't take much more of this rubbish.

“It’s a Heartache”
 

I seem to be on a run of “ 6 goals matches” at the moment. Saturday I watched Wrexham go four goals up , eventually score 6 while nipping out to watch the 2nd half when Buckie were 1-1 to finish 6-1, and last night I chose to watch Buckie , another 6-1 win , while depressing myself with keeping check on Everton’s score on the phone ☹️. I’ve avoided watching my recording of last nights match. My contribution …. ‘ Things, can only get better …..”

Nah that's a Dream
 

This week seems to be hurtling towards Sunday sooner than I would like. The Everton angst is very real.

I watched a film called Arrival last night. Very good but I had to read up after as I didn’t quite understand the ending! Anyone else seen it?
1) Yep weeks are whizzing by, mind you that could just be because I’m getting older. lol
2) No sorry can’t help haven’t seen it.
 
Morning Mascoteers,

@Terrarian - everything ok? Some decent weather coming so you can get some good Daisy walks in.

And with that good weather I can finally get out into the garden. So much to be done . Loads of weeds coming up as per usual in Spring, need to sharpen up the edges of the borders , redesign a section of the spring border ( taken two prostrate conifers out already to create space and will be buying some new rhododendrons at Bodnant next week) and power wash the patio and courtyard.

Ah well it's good to keep busy lol .

Legs day at the gym yesterday and had a good 2 hour intensive table tennis practice yesterday. I was lucky enough to train with a guy who is ranked no5 over 50 in England. "Just move him around a bit , he needs to improve his footwork" the coach told him. 15 minutes later I was sweating cobs and totally out of breath and at the end of each rally was hitting the ball increasingly harder desperately just trying to end the rally to catch my breath. Only problem was the harder I hit it the faster it came back and my playing partner was just grinning at me . Absolutely knackered at the end but delighted. We finished off playing a proper game and he played about 80% and I was really pleased to only lose 11-5 11-6 which I was pretty chuffed by especially when I got two of his best serves back and he looked at me saying " you shouldn't be able to return that ". Absolute privilege to play with someone at an elite level and it definitely improves your game.

Which is a roundabout way of trying to figure out why Onana who is captain of Belgium and supposedly one of the top young midfield talents in Europe looks so crap for us. Is the reverse of my experience true? That if you play with rubbish players and receive instructions from a manager who has got a clue and for whom you have no respect for causes you to lower your standards and , perhaps inadvertently not play to your true level ?

Anyway have a lovely day everyone.
