Jacket and beans...

My fingers are about the only thing that is not currently sore! I spent the weekend playing in a softball tournament with Jeff. He is rediiculously good and it has been 9 years or so since I was an average softball player. This tournament was here in London on a field normally used for Cricket. Canterberry is next weekend and it is the best tourney of the year with the most drinking too! The gang asked me what I like and I said the Pina Colada! There are a few that have made it their mission to have me try a few other beverages...Don't knock the Colada!! I'm pretty sure I butchered the spelling there.

I was rusty to say the least but eventually I got my legs under me. Trust me, I feel them now! So about the jacket and beans. For lunch yesterday I wanted a baked potato and so I ordered it. I was with Vicki and she got a potato too. So the server asked me what 2 sides I wanted on my potato (also known as a jacket potato). I asked for cheese and sour cream. No sour cream only cheese, tuna, or baked beans! Vicki ordered tuna and cheese on hers and recommended beans and cheese on mine!! What! So...I tried it and guess what...It was weird! so of course she had to tell everyone the story when we get back to the game and everyone was like, jacket and beans is brilliant!
All in all it was a good weekend but I was happy when we got knocked out. I cannot remember the last time I was this sore. Great people, though and definitely worth it. They pretty much play every weekend in the summer. I don't know if I can keep up!

Wimbledon starts this week so I think I am going to go Tuesday or Wednesday! I will keep you posted.
