Saturday 22nd April 2006

Saturday already? Where has the week gone? I have been far too busy trying to recall my weekend in Germany over Easter. I still have a bit to write up and the last two blog entries do need some refining. However, I thought I would quickly bring everyone bang up to date. What have I been up to this weekend and my plans coming up. Today was a lazy Saturday. I got up and cleaned the car, it was a real mess. Someone had driven it through a farm last weekend and there was mud inside and out. I will jet wash it tomorrow or perhaps go to a conventional car wash but it depends on how I feel in the morning. I then settled down at midday to watch the final North London derby at Highbury. A memorial experience, even if it goes up there with the game at Anfield as our worse performance ever. Wenger once again chose to leave Henry on the bench but had to bring him on to change the game and rescue us a point. Although the inclusion of Cesc and Eboue did also increase our fight to win the game. The rest of the afternoon was spent online, trying to update my blog then the FA Cup semi-final. Sure enough once again a manager had gambled on his team selection and gone for a defense middle. In terms of the array of talent that the Blues do have available to them it was a shame to have the creative heart ripped out from the middle of the park, but I am sure he had his reasons. Then in the evening I watched my first episode from the second series and second coming of Doctor Who. One word – fantastic.

Tomorrow I’m off to London, now I have an Oyster Card, I will be making regular use of tubes and buses. I know I have been going into London perhaps once or twice a month but I aim to make it a more regular and more importantly purposeful occurrence, particularly as I have so many friends there. I was aiming to buy the card directly from Transport for London but it worked out I could get it cheaper and quicker from eBay. Plus there is always something going on that might take my fancy. In all honesty I am looking forward to James performing Human Nature as his amateur street performance from October last year was amazing.
