Isn't it strange how life can change so quickly? Up one day, down the next, and back up again today. Not that I'd dream of complaining mind, after all why would I complain about a smile, particularly when it's adorning my face?

First competitive game of the new season ends Dewsbury Rams 50 - Swinton Lions 0, it's just a shame I couldn't be there to witness this new beginning. Featherstone away next weekend, might have to miss that one as well, but there's no way I'm missing the game against the Bulldogs on March 1st, that's one I'd just love to win.

The grandchildren came over with their Mum this morning, so the house was bedlam again. Evie seems to have done away with that dummy at last, and Lewis is as crazy as ever, especially after he's got a good meal in him. I see a lot of his Ma in him, so he's going to be trying, but worth the effort. Life wouldn't be the same without them.

And no, that's not the reason for the smile either. I'm afraid you'll have to wait a while longer to hear the reason for that, I need to give my face time to get used to the sensation.
