On Friday, the team I support had something of a let off. Despite clearly breaching league rules over the registration for two players, they were not docked points (which would have seen them pretty much relegated) and which teams in the past have had as a penalty, they were just given a fine. Well, when I say ‘just’, it was for ?.5m. Staggering. I am glad to say that the team went and won at Wigan 3-0 on Saturday afternoon (leading to a spontaneous dance in the middle of Milton Keynes around 5pm yesterday). Two games to go, and still with a slight chance of staying up.

Friday evening was curry night. Around to some friends, for some Indian cuisine. Good company and a fine end to the week. But then the rest of the weekend has been spent entertaining our German student.Saturday was some teenage fun, as we took them bowling in MK.

Today was different, we had a day at Warwick Castle. Splendid day out.

Robbie on the left, and the German student Oliver on the right. Best place for teenagers.

The opportunity to give Robbie a strangulated frontal lobotomy was too much to be missed.

With outdoor displays on falconry, archery from medieval times, and a trebuchet, as well as the excellent history and exhibitions on display it was well worth a visit.

And so the weekend ends. At least it is May Bank Holiday next weekend. Something to look forward to.
