This weekend I decided to go out and have some fun with my friends. Usually, I stay at home to Netflix and chill by myself or with @blezyn. However, she did not visit me this weekend because she had to move into her apartment (and I have not forgiven her for abandoning me).
Weekends without Blessing are usually uneventful. However, @maverieux000 and a group of other friends had planned a football match and I was invited to join. I was reluctant at first because I hate going outside, especially during the day. It's sunny and bright, and I don't like that (a lot).
I cannot remember the last time I played football, plus, I had broken my left foot two weeks ago and the chance of playing was slim. Nevertheless, I decided to honour the invitation at the last minute. My brother, @iamchuks was around so he followed us to the pitch.
We had our match at 2 Division Headquarters Nigerian Army Adekunle Fajuyi Cantonment Ibadan sporting complex, thanks to our Major friend. It was a calm and beautiful environment. I was impressed by how neat the place was. Ordinarily, we would not have access to a place like this, so I was glad I came.
A few minutes into the match and we discovered how unfit we all were (esp @maverieux000 who was running around like a pregnant man 🤡). It was fun seeing all my friends gasping for air on the field. Their bodies had betrayed them (the things alcohol and old age can do to you).
I on the other hand was resting peacefully at the goal post. As I mentioned, I had a broken foot some weeks back, so I missed out on the action. But I did have some time to run around.
My team lost the match. I blame my teammates. I would have done better on the pitch 🤡. They were too out of shape to perform well. @iamchuks was running around like a chicken. The Apple truly never falls far from the tree.
After the match, we headed down to a bar to get some drinks. I had a bottle of malt and some spicy beef. We spent most of the time making each other fun. It was a fun time.
Asides from fun, I had a little chat with the chairman of the chess federation, Ibadan, about a project I would be working on. Most of my friends are chess players here, so it is only natural I get involved in the chess community--and I play chess a little too.
I spent the rest of the day binging on 'The Big Bang Theory' series and pressing my swallow foot. I hope my foot gets better so I can play soccer and exercise more to stay in shape.
It was nice hanging out with real people physically for a change. I wish I had taken more pictures, but I was too busy enjoying myself. Cheers!
I was going to say that you don't look like someone that plays football. 😅
they will not shame you prayzz...i can play ball (not just good enough)
😂😂😂😂😂
Thanks for showing the elderly community that it can still be done 😄. Looking forward to being this active when I get older
Lizzy, you are part of the elderly community, stop playing
Lol! Pregnant men and chickens! Look at all those skinny legs!! Sounds like a bit of fresh air and exercise was actually what was needed. 😉

Wait o! It seems you didn't put yourself In the blaming game hahahaha.
Wow wow wow! I know some chess players in Ibadan but I haven't been there since I took 2nd place in the south west u-16 event in 2015. I am happy you are thinking of chess or making chess moves. Overall I think you had a great weekend, thanks for sharing!
Asides the calling out, this is a fun read !
I re-lived the moment again after reading this..
Cheers..& the pregnant man will soon be delivered of his pregnancy.. You'll see...!
