A well deserved day off after two fairly tough days of training. As the time ticks by, it is becoming more important for me to have plans in place for all situations that may occur. So I spent this morning researching travel and work visas. However, for 2 hours in which I thought I was collecting information about obtaining a visa for the UK while in the UK, it turned out that it was information about obtaining a visa to go to America from the UK. So back to square one really and more research to be done. It is a process either way, and having some knowledge on what steps it may require will be helpful when time comes that I apply for a visa.

My day was split up with a trip to town with Wardy to catch up with 3 of the other lads for a meal and a coffee/cup of tea. It was an enjoyable afternoon, and one would say we were fairly productive in our talks, sharing business ideas and interests, sharing stories of former friends or teammates who are successful, and just some general chat. For a professional athlete, creating a business is very viable, and I hope that one day I am able to do that. The ideas for those businesses start from a small talk like we had over a cup of coffee/tea and develop with investment of time and money. So it was a nice productive escape from the house out in Carrigans.

A casual evening in at the house, while we watched Dundalk play in the Champions League Qualifying game.

Just a reminder to all my followers that this is a blog with intentions of informing my friends and family all around the world of the journey that I am on. This is not a place where I intend to exploit any tactical or technical insight from Derry City FC. The blogs intent is to simply share my experience. I appreciate the regular viewers/readers and I hope you are enjoying learning about my experience.
