Chief Scout's Awards today. A nice easy one - all I had to do was sit on a chair on the stage while award-winning Scouts came up one by one to be presented with certificates by my mother. At the end of the ceremony it took several minutes to organise a group photo, then it was into a neighbouring hall for a buffet. There were loads of paper bowls of peanuts on offer :D One guy, father of one of the award-winning Scouts, engaged me in conversation about my civic duties and my working life outside them. He turned out to be a football fan - he followed Portsmouth, although he hadn't been to a game for ages. When we got talking to the Scout leaders we mentioned that I'm a great fan of the Gosport Gang Show, which went down well. As things wound down, there were loads of leftovers still on the table. My mother had told the lady leaders earlier about my fondness for Twiglets, so as we waited for John to arrive one of the lady leaders said to us "No going home till all the Twiglets are eaten!" So my mother, a Scout called Lawrence and I polished the Twiglets off between us.

Home for Middlesbrough v Man Utd.

Just watched Celeb FA3 (first time I've had the chance since the opening show) - Jade texted me during Colin's brilliant rendition of Green Day's Good Riddance to ask if I was watching and to say she fancied Colin! I replied, saying I fancy Mel. Keeping everything crossed for her...
