Woke up early and Carly and Rory had a few challenges with their work overnight and were fixing them this morning. Eventually Rory and I went off to train in the rain. We had a short and sharp session of mostly technical work, and some passing. Im still pretty tense in these trainings because of the importance of them and can sometimes get frustrated because I know Im better than I am performing. I just need to settle down and focus on what I can control and improve on. I finished with three runs around the cricket pitch again, and Rory was impressed on my fitness and commented that that is one thing that I will be able to use to knock off those in the team ahead of me. Once the runs were completed, we headed home. A quick shower and a big breakfast to refuel. I spent the rest of the morning packing and organizing my things.

My afternoon has been nothing extraordinary. I have just been tracking the Blackcaps cricket as well as following the olympics as best I can. I made a good lunch as well. An uneventful evening also, just preparing my last little things to return to the USA tomorrow. Of course I wrote this previous sentence before my evening occurred. I had assumed a casual evening at the house, however when Rory and Carly got home from work around 4pm, they freshened up and suggested we go into town for a wander and some food. It was a lovely evening where we spent some time on the old Navy base at a nice little restaurant having tea, coffee and treats, before we went off to another restaurant on the other side of the water to have dinner. The night was filled with lots of chat about various topics. Lots of business chat, some football chat, and some general chat. It was nice to relax and hang out and get to know them a little for and for them to get to know me. It was just the Friday night we needed. Finally we did head home and I sorted my last few things before the early ups tomorrow morning. 

Once I return to the USA, my blog posts will be only once a week, and most likely when I return to England after hopefully obtaining my visa, they will stay at once a week.
