One of the things...
...I'm doing this year is taking part in a Photo a Day (PAD) project as inspired by the lovely @sarahgb
My photos are all going up on my Flickr in a PAD collection but I'm also going to try and post them here weekly too.
But so I don't suddenly overwhelm you with posts and you faint with shock that I'm blogging again, I shall set the backlog to appear over the next few days and then attempt to do each weeks batch on a Sunday.
Probably.
Barring the week a month from now when I'll be on holiday.
Squuueeeeeeeeee.
*ahem*

History might just...
...repeat itself.
33 years ago, on the 14th of March 1978, a little football team called Leyton Orient won a sixth round FA Cup replay 2-1 against Middlesborough to get through to the semi-final of the FA Cup.
They had defeated Norwich City (1-1, replay 1-0), Blackburn Rovers (3-1), and Chelsea (0-0, replay 2-1) to get to the sixth round.
In the semi-final they unfortunately lost 3-0 to Arsenal.
But in winning against Middlesborough, the damage had already been done. I was born 9 months later.
In this years FA Cup, Leyton Orient have defeated Dagenham & Redbridge (1-1, replay 3-2), Droylesden (1-1, replay 8-2 aet), Norwich City (1-0) and Swansea City (2-1).
In the fifth round of this years FA Cup, Leyton Orient will be playing Arsenal for the first time since that 1978 match.
Here's hoping that allowing for prevailing winds and good luck and all that jazz, I can be embarrassing a child of mine with this story. Not quite in 9 months time (cos not pregnant yet, plus also, you can't embarrass a newborn) but hopefully within the next year.
Fingers crossed eh.
