Another Post-Midnight Entry

Yes, the time of 23:59 for today's blog is yet another giveaway that this one was written after midnight. Admittedly it's only 00:04 as I write this, so it's not as bad as some recently. Compared to some in the past - where 4am was a regular update time - this ranks as positively timely!

Today I've spent most of the time doing not very much and watching sport - quite a lazy day. I was for no apparent reason feeling quite tired, despite being to bed around 1am last night and not up until gone midday.

I watched the Tottenham-Everton match, although missed the start as I thought it kicked off later. No real reward from that as despite a good second half, a two goal deficit was too much to recover from. I wasn't planning on watching the Carling Cup final, but upon seeing Villa take an early lead, I was hopeful. Again, no such luck, as Manchester United eventually also won 2-1.

After taking a break from sport to do my ironing - ratcheting up the excitement factor, I know - I returned to the world of sport by spending the evening watching the Canada-USA ice hockey gold medal game from the Vancouver Olympics. It's an interesting sport to watch, I think, and after a while I was gradually following the puck a bit better. I actually cheered at the second goal just for the amazing fact that I saw what happened first time, without having to wait for a few replays to understand what had gone on. It's quite fast.

Tomorrow I make my own contribution to sport by stumbling around a football pitch after work. More to follow on this one tomorrow I'm sure!
