... The Near-perfect Return

Last night I was back in action on the soccer field.

After a short warm-up I was into action in my Svetlanaland national jumper.
The knee was a bit tender and I had to nurse it along, but for the last third of the match it had really warmed up and was working quite well - I even had a shot on goal thanks to a great pass by SoccerBuddy but, no thanks to the goalie, there was a deflection and then it bounced off the post. Sigh, I suppose you can't have everything.

Afterwards the real action began in the clubhouse with beer and snacks. My knee survived that with flying colours too.
