It never rains etc...

I didn't think i would be this busy when I started refereeing. I know there is a shortage of refs but I'm still surprised by the demand. Tomorrow night I'm reffing the Nomads vs Ammansford RFC, a touring side from the valleys above Llanelli. The club was founded in 1887 which makes us look like babies despite being a founder club of the ORU.

ETA: No I'm not They found someone more experienced. Good!

Back from dentist

I had about an hour's deep cleaning under local anaesthetic this morning. The freezing is starting to where off and while it's nice to no longer be a drooling idiot it is not what one would call comfortable. I have taken some acetaminophen and codeine to see if that helps.

Amusingly enough, on my way to the dentists I saw what was recognisably a rugby tour sprawled outside a nearby hotel. Sure enough, it was Ammanford RFC. (See earlier post.)

Lights, Sheep, Cut!
