Un pièce du gâteau

Victory was in the air on Sunday as I won the bake off competition against Jen! I was astounded as it was only my second ever attempt at a cake, and my first ever chocolate one. Some asked me what the secret ingredient was... I say, "all you need is love".

Just had a break from Manchester and journeyed home to watch City beat Colchester 2-1 at home. It was a game lacking in quality, but the result was right. I'm not convinced by the Kyle/John partnership but McKenzie was certainly a positive to take from the game. Robert Page was solid in defence, good to have Duffy back!

Next up is Barnsley away. If Aalok can get his act together we should be watching it together! Oh, I bumped into Nilo today when I did some shopping back home. Thanks for the fish (and chips), it was much appreciated my friend.

Something for the weekend

Free-lancing has been keeping me busy these last few weeks. I'm really enjoying the free time and being able to do the stuff I've been putting off.

One of these is sorting out my I.C.E. (in car entertainment). I'm getting a brand new Sony CD/mp3/DAB head unit for my Yaris. Take a look under Car Audio for a summary of my latest exploits. Self installation is saving me at least £80 and buying the head unit online is saving me £80 also. Empire Direct seem to have very competitive prices for car stereos and other electrical equipment.

City won at the weekend so I'm chuffed. I really do hope they finish above Everton in their respective leagues this season. A certain sportsman's bet depends on it! Our next fixture at Wolves is a tough one but we have to get a result to keep in touch with the contenders. We're currently ten points off top and in 11th place.
