Bacon, winding down, fan photo and Rangers beat the Capitals

Sam and I ended up getting an earlier train today due to the bus being prompt and so we ended up at London Bridge at a loose end. What does one do when one is at a loose end first thing in the morning? Why, go and have bacon roll and a cup of tea at Dakin & Co.of course. £2.50 for a crusty roll full of bacon and a nice strong cuppa, BLISS! You can smell the bacon as you approach....
 
As you can expect at this time of year work is slowly winding down so it is nice to experience some reasonably stress free days. Only a half day to go and then I'll be disabling work email on my phone and it will be time to kick back and relax.  

There was some dinner and some Harry Potter plus gluten free bad things as the evening progressed.

They say it's the little things in life that make all the difference and I was delighted to find that the photo of me with Dave Prowse (taken at Romford Star Wars Charity Convention in July) has now been posted on Dave Prowse's official Facebook page. I felt like a great big kid seeing this on there!

The day finished off with New York Rangers v Washington Capitals. 3:32 in and Mats Zuccarello put the Rangers up 1 - 0 and Madison Square Garden exploded! Lots of pressure from the Rangers and a dink off the post. First period ended with Rangers leading 1 - 0. Shots on goal were NYR 9, WSH 5.

Second period start a little feisty and the Rangers went on the power play and Martin St. Louis made it 2 - 0 to the Rangers at 01:03. The Capitals started to look a little more dangerous this period but the Rangers managed to keep them at bay. Second period ended with the Rangers 2 - 0 up. Shots on goal were NYR 9 (18), WSH 6 (11).

Third period started with the Capitals really pushing hard to close the gap. Rick Nash however had different ideas and increased the Rangers lead to 3 - 0 at 5:12. Sadly the Capitals grabbed one back at 5:53 to make it 3 - 1. Half way through the period and the Capitals started to turn things up again. One power play goal later and the Capitals had closed things up to 3 - 2. A 5 on 3 advantage allowed the Rangers to extend things to 4 - 2 with another Martin St. Louis power play goal at 16:12. Rangers won the game 4 - 2. Shots on goal were NYR 9 (27), WSH 21 (32). Rangers have now won seven straight games!
