Apologies for the recent run of crap pictures, I was playing with the settings on my camera today and ended up with yet another one to add to the turd pile.I've been cooped up recently though, luckily my cold has all but gone, I'm still not looking forward to having two oral exams tomorrow with a blocked nose.My toe is still broken, I forgot that I am not a magic healer and that these things don't sort themselves out overnight - thankfully the swelling has gone down a tiny bit and I hope it will have gone down more by the morning. Still limping though...
Personally, I feel quite a lot better today, my cold is on the way out and I can feel my toe starting to heal up - I really need to get myself together before the exams start next week.I was cheered up a lot by Lewis Hamilton's performance at Monaco today - taking the victory despite a crash and realising a life-long dream; as well as re-taking the lead of the championship.In fact, this was the best race from Monaco in years, with sudden rain, crashes and of course, a British victory is always a bonus!
My self-imposed quarantine continued today, hopefully any illness I have won't spread - I do feel better today though.It's time for the biggest sham contest in Europe once more, Eurovision. I would have got a picture of the winners, Russia, or some of the crap ones, but I was impressed by our entry, Andy Abraham, who put in a cracking performance of a sterling song.Europe, however, was not impressed; only a few points from Ireland and San Marino (of all places) got us a total of 14, compared to the winning song which scored nearly 200 - even Malta didn't vote for us this time.I haven't got much else to talk about, but I think it's safe to say that Eurovision seems to succeed in splitting eastern and western Europe - the amount of political votes are astonishing, God help us all if Wogan decides to pack it in...
No picture taken and a bin full of tissues can only mean one thing - illness. Of course, this is only a common cold but nonetheless I decided that quarantine was the way forwards.A broken toe and blocked sinuses have not made for the most pleasant of days but it's at times like these that stoicism was invented - tomorrow's the weekend so I'll be able to shake it all off for the exams.So, the term's worth of lessons ended in a bit of an anti-climax; I'm going to shut up now before I hear cries of 'man flu!'
This is my second ice sculpture, which I quickly took a picture of before melting it down due to lack of freezer space. A work of art, wouldn't you say?The other night I think I mentioned ripping off my toenail, well as it happens I also broke it, but only realised once it had swollen up in the morning.So right now I'm limping about the place, the trip to lessons is painful - luckily it all ends tomorrow...
Oh dear Lord, I just witnessed the worst sporting outcome anyone ever has to bear - a penalty shoot out. Luckily, tonight's champion's league final between Manchester United and Chelsea was evenly balanced.In fact, it was a great game, with loads of near misses at both ends all the way to the end of extra time. I wasn't biased to any side, but at the end of the penalties, Ronaldo had missed the only one so far, the burden to take the winning strike was taken up by the ever noble John Terry. One shot to win the cup, one shot to complete a long journey to Chelsea's only success, and he missed - I still feel for him. Losing 6-5 on penalties is no way to go, but there simply wasn't any other way.Anyway, time for bed after tonight's thriller - that's enough excitement to last me well into next season!
Ah Guinness, my old friend. Tonight, I turn to it to ease the intense throbbing pain I've had all afternoon since I ripped my toenail off playing football.Elsewhere, it was the last Spanish oral lesson today, mercifully - these had always been typically dull and awkward, and despite a slight improvement in the last lesson, it was too little too late and I'm glad to see the back of them.Hopefully when I wake up in the morning my foot will have healed, at the minute it's fairly painful, but really, really irritating more than anything else.
