After a good sleep, I woke to the sun shining through my window. What a lovely change that is. Soon enough Adriano, Rory and myself headed off to do some training. Because Truro isn’t full time professional, and the current game schedule is Tuesday and Saturday, they only manage to get one full team training session in a week. So to stay on the top of their game, all players are expected to put in the extra hard work needed to play at the high level. So we did our share of the hard work. Good warm up, stretch, roll, and band work before we did a few juggling and technique things. Then some first touch work and passing. I finished with 4 1min 90% runs around the cricket oval that we were training at. It was certainly a blow, but it is what I want and need. If I am to progress higher and higher, I need to take my fitness to another level. So that is one focus currently.
Home to shower and eat, before we went out and did a big shop. We got all the food we need for the week and split the bill. Safe to say we wont go hungry thats for sure. I then went and helped out with Rory and Carly’s Ice Cream business, The Cowlick Creamery. We didn’t have to do too much at the unit, although I did help with pouring milk and cream, and of course I helped with tasting. They also have a barista machine too, and Rory is learning the art of coffee making. That is something that I hope to learn also, so maybe in due time Ill get to practice at the unit.
On our way home, Rory took me for a tiki tour through the City of Plymouth. It was bombed in the 1500s I’m pretty sure and a lot of the rebuild was rushed. There are a few old old buildings which look amazing, and the waterfront/port area is beautiful too. Not a bad wee hang out spot. Finally headed home and cooked another fantastic dinner. I assisted Carly in the kitchen as we baked up an orange drizzle cake for a desert treat. Not a bad evening of company and food at all.
I also gathered all the required information and things to sort out my international clearance as that can often take some time, so we are getting onto that as soon as possible.
