From Kingston Bridge to Stamford Bridge

Having been for a walk with Kitten along the Thames in Kingston on Friday, I am off to Stamford Bridge with Notoplip this afternoon.

Chelsea are at home to Sunderland and we are taking our boys (the Huffty and Sonic) to the match. 

I try to prepare myself as much as possible for the time out of the house and Chelsea is within easy reach for me.   It is a short hop to Wimbledon and then a twenty minute tube from there.   The difficulty is always coming home because of the simultaneous exit from the match and the subsequent crowding on the tube.  I have to eat little and often and there is nothing that I can eat when I am out at a football match.

Notoplip has kindly obviated the difficulties of getting home by sorting out a black cab to pick us up from directly outside the Shed end of the ground.  We should then be able to make a quick getaway through the bus lanes of London.  We will most likely leave a few minutes early if the game is already won.  It is not my style but is pragmatic under the circumstances.

So, how to repay Notoplip?   I usually get the Huffty a hot dog at half time so I think that I will get one for him too.  Not to eat you understand, but to splice and for him to wear above his mouth and sit there fantasising what it would be like to actually have a top lip.  Not being overly endowed in that department myself I may even join him in a little "collagenesque" fantasy.

The last couple of weeks I have been doing little and resting lots in an attempt to get my system back into equilibrium after having a cold.  The last few days have seen a little more activity and this afternoon will be a good test as to see whether I am ready to push the boat out a little more. 

Having been inactive for a little while I am not only looking forward to the match but enjoying the company of my friend and treating the boys.
