The foot bone’s connected to the..no…wait…

It’s been (give or take a day or so) a month since I broke my feet. Who would have thought that breaking four bones in such a small area could cause so much bother? Meh. You live and learn.

Right foot is feeling pretty good . The ankle is still sore, and if I knock the right hand side of the foot (?) it still makes me swear, but apart from that we’re getting there.

Lefty, however, is still fully plastered, and occasionally feels like the front half is falling off. Add to that the cramp I got in my calf muscle the other day, it ain’t so good. Got another 4 weeks before they’ll even consider taking the plaster off, so at least another 4 weeks without driving/playing football/walking up stairs/doing any work worth a damn/having a bath easily. I do wash – just not in the bath, OK?

Daytime television! Oy vey, my eyes, already! Best thing on is “Big Cook, Little Cook”, which my own little(st) cook adores. Those guys are excellent!

Daffodils. Leeks. Tom Jones. Cerys Matthews. Cardiff City. Torchwood.

Middlesbrough BadgeOooh…I love Jeopardy. Name six things from Wales.

Seems that Captain Jack should have been called on Sunday, as clearly aliens had possessed the Boro players and stolen their…ahem…talent. That first goal against us, handball, definitely – however, that’s still no excuse for us not scoring at all!

Alves was (again) a disappointment – proven by the fact he was substituted at half time for Mido. Mido didn’t play that well, but I think we could have done with him in the first half in preference to Alves. Mind you, we could probably have done just as well with Dong-Gook.

At least we didn’t have to have Rio Ferdinand in goal. That was funny!

So now at least we can concentrate on the league – it’s still mathematically possible for Derby County to finish in the top 10, so we should have no bother. Unless we play a team from a lower division, of course.

Complete lack of passion and vision, a deserved final score : Middlesbrough 0 – 2 Cardiff City. Thankfully, Jimmy-Floyd didn’t score. That would have been the worst…

The Vatican and the Seven ‘New’ Deadly Sins

Accumulating excessive wealth – This is one of those sentences that appears to make sense until you reread it. What exactly does excessive mean? Aren’t all Western lifestyles extravagant in comparison to the third world? Surely the Vatican, with its ceremonial robes and jewels, fantastic buildings and priceless works of art is the ultimate example of excessive, visible wealth? What about paper wealth, due to shares in enterprises you’ve invested money into? It’s a simplistic statement that actually has little to do with reality.

This.
