Nearly December and Still Riding!

Amazingly the weather today is still wonderful enough for a decent cycle ride. It's a bit chilly but not freezing cold and only a slight breeze. Still wishing for snow to arrive for the skiing season though :-(

Back in UK for Arsenal

Back in UK for Arsenal V Fulham and the game was a little anti-climatic after our recent form but a 1-1 draw is not the end of the world. At least the 5.30pm KO meant that I was able to meet an old friend from here in Basel who Claire and I met through our good friends Jim & Beth (though Susan lives in USA she was on a Girl's weekend in London). Met up in a lovely restaurant in Chiswick, La Trompette, but no time for food for me even if the menu looked wonderful!

Yet another trip across the border to see my favorite Bundesliga side in SC Freiburg play. The team has been struggling this season and was in the bottom two so being 0-2 down at half time it was not looking good. Thankfully a great second half comeback saw them get the game back to 2-2 and it could have been much better but for a very strange decision to disallow a goal at 1-2. The equaliser came in the 90+4 minute of the game!
