And so it begins again

Just got the email. I have a pick-up game at the Cru on Sunday. Here's hoping I'm a bit less unfit and overweight than the other old buggers.

Now would be a good time to check that you did remove your mouthguard from your shorts last time you played, and it's not gone through the washing machine and now resembles a peculiar sweetie.

I'm currently wearing said shorts as I was out running earlier. Mouthguard is safe though the sucker has been through the wash a few times.

You must have invested in a high quality mouthguard! The Shockdoctor ones tend to ball up if you put them through a 40deg wash!

[chickenfeet2003.livejournal.com]

Yes, mine is a proper made by the dentist from a cast of my teeth one.

Definitely worth it!
Have you also stocked up on Arnica tablets/cream and looked out the ice packs to put in the freezer?!

[chickenfeet2003.livejournal.com]

The icepacks are in the freezer. As for pharma, I find a couple of extra strength Ibuprofen and a couple of Sudafed do the trick.

Arnica (cream) is very good for bringing out the bruising, and seems to make it go through the colour changes faster...

Why am I thinking ritual scarification?

This is either a throwback to your Pictish ancestors or you are a colossal pervert or both.

Both, obviously.
