An update and The Mistaken

Well to be honest not a whole lot has been happening the last few weeks. I did go out for some field hockey to give it try with work. Our company was challenged by another engineering firm so we managed to round up just enough people to play. It was really tiring and as none of us had ever played more than one game we lost 7-1. The first half was awful but the 2nd half was only 2-1 so it wasn't that bad really.

The rules are a bit different to those of ice hockey. For one using your feet at all is a penalty. Even if it as accident. The other main difference (the one I had trouble with) was that you can only use one side of the stick. No backhands or stick handling with that side. Its a hard habit to break. The photos that were taken of the game are really blurry but here are 2 of the least blurry ones.




In other news the car failed its MOT (sort of like an emissions test) and that cost more than we expected to fit a new suspension in the car. Anyways, after that it passed the MOT only to have the head gasket go on us which resulted in a tow home the week after. So at the moment we are not using the car until it gets fixed.

But by far the best news over the last few weeks is that Megan is now in a band. They are called The Mistaken and play alternative style music. After only a few weeks of practicing, they had a gig all set for last Thursday. Unfortunately something happened at the club and the show was canceled. They were invited to play on Friday night but some of the band members couldn't make it. So she is still awaiting her first gig but hopefully it should be soon.

The band sounds amazing and they are planning on recording a few songs soon and putting it up their myspace account. Check out their myspace account here
