Chest Bump

So I played for Lion this weekend.

I started for only the second time this season, and I managed to snag a try by being in the right place at the right time when one of us put a kick through that bounced horribly for the other team.

I also bruised my windpipe, by letting someone hit me in the chest. The result is that I have a tiny amount of blood present every time I cough, meaning that my mouth constantly tastes like blood. Which is gross. I didn't carry on because coughing up blood is as scary as hell, and because my chest, and by extension shoulders, neck and back, were bloody sore. I went to the hospital and had an x-ray, despite knowing it was pointless and was promptly sent home. I'm still coughing a tiny amount of blood so I'll go back to the hospital and tell them to cauterise it or something.

Now for the defence: I had to tackle him in a moronic position because there was a 2 on 1 overlap and without me making like a scarecrow, he would have just passed out of the tackle and they would have scored. So there. Anyway, that aside, I have some more pictures from climbing last week, and a couple from the game this week.

The guy behind (his name is Yuu) has got the best expression I think I've ever seen in a picture.  Look at that smile!


This is me prepping for one of the pictures further down the post.


This is me trying to smile while weighing a lot.


This is me failing to smile for long enough.


This is, without a doubt, the best picture of me that I have ever seen.  I'm trying to smile while holding onto the wall with one hand - and it just isn't working.  I smile every time I see this!


This is the obligatory end of season team picture.  I'm bloody cold at this point so have my tracksuit and hat on.  We won all our games this season so we're going to play in a promotion match in two weeks, against Japan Airlines.



And this is just another shot of me getting up to the protrusion for the photo.
