I make no claim for this being anything but as ridiculous as these days.

Steed and chariot

Eddie Howe’s over there somewhere, on his first visit to the Turf as prospective manager. That’s if the Pennines wind and rain that were trying to blow me back to Doncaster haven’t put him off.

A 0-0 draw against league leaders QPR was respectable. If we have the designs on promotion that we ought to have, we should be capable if winning games like that, but although we were routinely snuffed-out going forward, the first clean sheet in quite a while was an encouragement.

Others have made plenty of today being 11/1/11 (or 1/11/11 for any stateside readers). I was just glad it was the day that Secret Santa made his delivery; a little late, but no less welcome for that.

I was also rather thrilled by the poetic response to my Senehelion post from last month. chrisindoncaster: I don’t know who you are, or how you came by that entry, but your contribution was an unexpected marvel.

Study leave.
