Sunday 11th March

I try to go or to do one new thing each week and this weeks thing was.... softball! I have never heard of softball before, I had been told that it was a bit like baseball (which I have heard of but never seen how it's played). A few of the teachers had signed up to a Sunday league, so I decided to go along and see what all of the fuss was about. It was at a school near the Irish bar that we go to sometimes, so at 1pm I shared a taxi with another teacher. I had been told that it was a just for fun thing and seen as a few of the teachers went to the cap for drinks first, that's apparently what our team was going for. When we turned up though, the other teams seemed to be taking it very seriously! A few of our players were drunk and I had never played before (although it seems a lot like rounders) but we got thrashed! I think we may even be at the bottom of the league! After the game we all went to the cap for a late lunch and a few drinks, then I shared a taxi home with a few others. Quite a good day, although I still have no idea on the rules of softball!
