Not much going on. I have some work to do so Im not clock watching all day, my ankle is a lot better and should be fine for March 9th, apart from that its a normal boring Wednesday.
Soundtrack of the day: "Stadium Arcadium" (both discs) by Red Hot Chili Peppers.
Good feeling of the day - remembering how good the RHCP's are... in the words of, well, me, they rock like a b*stard.

A bad night
So I played football last night... played well for 40 minutes of the hour and then - twist-click-scream.
Yes, I turned my ankle over again. This time it was my right leg, but luckily not as bad as I did my left a few weeks ago. I haven't been to the hospital and I don't need crutches, but I can't walk properly and it looks like golf's off for a couple of weeks. I just hope it clears up in time for 9th of March.. :-(
Also, City lost at home to Everton. They were deservedly beaten, Everton were the better side on the night. Still, it doesn't make me feel any better about the result. :-(
I also had bad insomnia again... partly due to pain, partly just insomnia. I think I got about 2 hours sleep last night. :-(
So not a good start to the week. Send me things to cheer me up, please!
Peace.

Lessons
As I looked in the mirror this morning and thought "My God, how do you look so good on a Monday morning?" (Im kidding of course - I looked like stir fried sh*t as I do every morning) I cogitated on the lessons I had learned this weekend.
1. A bottle and a half of red wine is too much for one person to drink without ill effects
2. It is easy to spend too much money on food shopping whilst hungover
3. There IS such a thing as too much rugby on TV.
4. It's easy to eat three bags of crisps (chips for my American listeners) without realising
5. You should make sure your bedroom curtains are closed properly BEFORE getting undressed
6. Housework never takes as long as you think it will
7. Free-range omelettes with chestnut mushrooms and mature cheddar are nice
The family are back now, so no more watching what I want on TV or NOT getting slobbered over first thing in the morning (I really must get the wife to stop that) . This week - playing football tonight, then watching the mighty City on TV (home against Everton... come on the blues). Nothing planned for the rest of the week apart from working from home on Thursday.
Oh, and its payday today, so time to go online and pay all my bills... *sigh*.
Have a good Monday children, and play nice.

Apologies and showering in the dark
First of all, I want to apologise for the post yesterday - I hope I didnt offend anyone. I have not had any comments to that affect, but I understand that reading the last statements of those death row inmates could be quite disturbing. So, apologies...
Now... last night, whilst in the shower, the bulb in the bathroom went. Which meant I was then showering in the dark. Have you ever done that?? Talk about weird... but it felt really good. Such a strange sensation, not being able to see anything but having this stream of hot water pouring over you. If you've never done it, I recommend you try it.
Another day mentoring today... it gives me a lot of pleasure teaching someone else to code, and I do have a bit of a knack for it. Similar to last night, when I played football. We only had 9 people turn up, but one of the blokes bought along his son (10 - 12 years old I think) so we had him on our side to make it 5-a-side. We still stuffed the opposition, but the thing I enjoyed was playing along side this youngster, talking to him, encouraging him, helping him. At the end of the game his dad (who was on the other side) said to me "Thanks for encouraging him, he's really enjoyed it tonight"...
Im such a nice bloke me!
The family are off today to Wales, so I'll be all alone (*sniff sniff*) as of about 09.30 today.
Have a good Tuesday listeners...

Morbid
Just stumbled on this site:
Texas Department of Criminal Justice
It lists people on death row - and the bit I found fascinating, the list of people executed, and their last statements... one of those sites that are compulsive reading.

A good weekend
Yes, it was. Friday night we had my sister in law, her husband and three kids staying with us. So it was a bit of a houseful, but lovely to see my nephew and two nieces (5, 2 and 10 months (I think) respectively). Saturday morning was spent at football training with Jake (where he had an outstanding session, which was very good to watch). Saturday afternoon was spent dog sitting as the others all went out for a few hours. I also went with a friend to take a look at a car he was thinking of buying, and to give him some moral backbone in the negotiating side of things. He decided to buy the car, and so is very happy.
The visitors left Saturday night so the wife and I decided to treat ourselves to a curry. We phoned a local take away that is literally 5 minutes walk down the road and asked for a delivery... "Yes sir, half hour to 45 minutes"... no worries I thought. AN HOUR AND A HALF LATER it finally turns up... so of course I refused to pay so we got a free curry. Sunday, Jakes team had a match against the team who are top of their league and unbeaten... Jake had an absolute blinder, scored two goals, and his team won 2 - 0. Fantastic.
City didn't play as it was F.A Cup weekend, so that was stress free... and before I knew it I was having a relaxing bath and shave ready for work today. This week - football tonight, golf tomorrow afternoon, and then a quiet rest of the week. The family (wife, son, dog) are going away tomorrow morning to North Wales for half term (to see the in-laws) so I have an empty house until Saturday afternoon... its gonna be quiet, lonely, but I can't lie, restful. Have a good Monday people.
