Something I didn't think I'd have the chance to do. Something I didn't think I'd manage to do for very long at all.
I was given an opportunity, and hesitatingly decided to do it rather than declining the offer, and I managed longer than I thought I would, and felt proud of myself for doing so.
It wasn't very impressive really, wouldn't get rave reviews or anything, and many others did much better than I did and others may have found amusement in my efforts, but that doesn't matter.
What matters is what I achieved for myself.
Celebrate your little wins as much as your big wins.

Churchman's is actually somewhat relevant to what it was I did...
I started off the morning with the view from Churchman's, in the Bobby Robson Suite, before being amongst a group that got to play on the pitch at Portman Road.
It was an 80 minute match, (fortunately with rolling subs)... so I didn't start, but came on for about 10-15 mins at the end of the first half, and then started the second half, before going off and then back on for a bit before the end.
Think Jonathan Douglas away at Newcastle kind of vibes, but I enjoyed it, and did touch the ball a few times, although admittedly, I wasn't involved in any of the better moves as we won something like 9-6.
At 55 years of age, it wasn't something I think I'd get to do, and sadly, I think it may have come a bit too late for me to get offered a contract, but as an experience, wasn't one I could really pass up, otherwise I'd have kicked myself for not doing it.
(Edit - some of the suggestions previously were very good. Made me chuckle.) [Post edited 3 Jun 13:57]

It's all about the spin, Hoppy.
What you mean is "I had a significantly better Portman Road debut than one and a half million pound ex-Town star Ulrich Le Pen!" |  | | |

Ooo... hadn't thought of it like that - yes, I like it. That's exactly what I'd meant! | |
