after a delicious lunch of grilled sausages with onions and peppers, mom, dad, finn and i were in the car on our way back to ballymaloe. we took the car ferry to cobh and then caught back up with the main motorway (25). a new route and a very pretty drive.
we got to the school shortly before 4pm, with was a nice bit of daylight left. unfortunately, none of my cottagemates were home, so mom took a few pics and then she, dad and finn were on their way back to crosshaven. i unpacked my bags and started to do my order of work for tomorrow morning when dougie popped in and asked if i wanted to play 'ultimate' with him a few others. my order of work could definitely wait! i put on my shoes and headed over to the garden next to the tennis courts.
dougie, owen and christian joined me. we threw the frisbee around a bit to practice and then we split up in to teams of two: me and dougie, owen and christian. what an absolute blast! dougie and i scored three goals rather easily and our fourth goal was scored in the wrong end-zone. :) christian and owen eventually got a rhythm down and were catching up to us, although i don't know if anyone was actually keeping score. we played for a good thirty minutes; sprinting down the garden and back, jumping up to deflect a pass when we could and laughing the entire time. we left a few very large divots in the grass and more than once i made a mad dive into the picker bushes to try and make a ridiculous catch.
exhausted, sweaty and with the sun going down, we called it a game. there are plans for another game this week if we get out of lecture before the sun has set for the day. :)
