Weather Forecaster Wanted - Must have experienced background with a high success rate of predictions and not just the standard qualification of being able to draw a prediction from a hat. Had nothing more than a bit of drizzle here so far today and could have got 4 classes in even if the rain eventually does turn up.

Go on, you know you want to

Our rescheduled game against Bournemouth Sports will take place tomorrow night!

EDIT: sadly passed over to Rainbow Bridge.

This is not the sort of post I would normally make but to be honest, I'm feeling a bit desperate now. As some of you know, our dog Sienna wasn't well last week and was admitted into hospital on Monday morning. She hasn't responded to treatment and hasn't eaten in days and to be honest, things are not looking great for her. So my desperate ask is that if you are religious, please pray for her and if not, just keep everything crossed for her and send some good luck/vibes her way. If I can look back at this post in a month while I'm sat on the sofa with Sienna's head on my lap then I can laugh at what a prat I was for making this post but that's a small price to pay for hope.

I don't want to be too much of a Victor Meldrew but where the *%!* is the predicted rain that BBC, Met Office, MSN and Apple predicted?????
