Year: 2006

Make an appointment with the Doc & get those ears syringed… It’s actually fun… honest…. and you’re hearing will be outstanding… for a few hours until your brain adjusts….

Just dropped out of a Zul’Gurub run because of not feeling too great. At least it means that someone well, willing and able can take my spot :-). (I hung around for about 10 minutes so that they wouldn’t go in short)

Ear problem must be worse than I thought. It’s affecting my balance, which means I was concentrating hard on trying to walk in a straight line while I was at work today. At least I could concentrate a little more, which is better than some stages of last week. Mind you, I also have a sore throat.

This sounds like excuses doesn’t it ? Ah well. I try to not tell people what to think but try to get them thinking for themselves. If that’s what they think, so be it 😉 but at least I can be happy knowing that I haven’t let the team down because I hung around to make sure they didn’t go in short.

In the meantime, I’ll start looking for an anchor to stop the room moving, while just generally crashing out in front of the telly.

Heh – relatively early mornings for me, yesterday and today. cricket was on !

I managed to emerge yesterday at around 8.30 ish and was out of bed and into slumber position on the sofa today before 8am. That’s before I get up for work in the week ! Shame the cricket wasn’t really worth watching at that point. I even turned it over to the South Africa v Aussie game for a while.

India decided to make it interesting towards the end though, as they tried going for the win. About 200 runs to get off 25 overs and it actually looked at one point as if it might reach the nightmare condition of them having a chance for them. Not to be though, the fading light brought an early close. I think that had something to do with Harbhajan Singh of India having 2 of his 3 stumps removed from the ground by a 90mph ball from Steve Harmison that he probably never saw.

Good result for England though. Because they were missing their Captain, Vice Captain and one of their 4 fast bowlers, they went into this match very short on experience. They had no less than 3 players making their debuts … However, they avoided defeat quite handily and put India under pressure. Even game, although the pitch stopped either side having a good chance for the win.

Oh yeah – England bowler Matthew Hoggard is going to get some ribbing from the people looking after the England team … He’s just been shown riding around the outfield on the 125cc motorbike that he received as part of his Man of the Match award.

sleepy said: lol – Now why would he be so big ?

Probably because everyone on the block feeds him…

lol – Now why would he be so big ?

I was beginning to wonder where he was…. He’s quite a big cat so maybe he doesn’t like jumping too much…. I guess he’ll figure things out eventually……. [grin]

Big evil grin …

Chronos is the cat who occasionally gets free munchies from my neighbour, Cyberkitten. Normally, Chronos would be able to nip into my back garden through a lattice fence and go next door via the gap in the fence between my place and Cyberkitten’s.

Alas for Chronos, my fence has been fixed ! No more hole to let Chronos get his munchies.

I’ve been watching the cricket this morning and have noticed a few disgusted looks from poor Chronos as he eyes up my new fence panel. I think he might be getting his mates around later for some concentrated climbing on the fence panel to see if they can bring it down.

Wonder how long it will take Chronos to figure out a way around the problem ?

Ah, you sweet boy, sleepy….

the feeling is most mutual 🙂

AHHH – thank you sleepy

And not to disillusion you its got nothing to do with courage – I’m just far too stubborn to let anything or anyone stop me 🙂
