Paul's inane ramblings

Arsenal crashed out of their 3rd cup in 10 days – they really ARE the definitive cup tourists 🙂 . I’ve probably mentioned before that there are 6 Spurs supporters in one building where I work – and everyone of us has this enormous grin on our faces today. Here’s a picture of the moment the gooners’ season came to a crashing end: Arsenal put far too much faith in individual players – Henry was bought on even though he wasn’t fully fit (and now he’s injured again), and with only minutes to play, and Arsenal needing 2 goals to […]

What a game that was – 2-0 down to the team at the bottom of the table, bringing it back to 2-2, then going 3-2 down with only 4 minutes to play, equalizing again – and then scoring a last minute winner 🙂 There’s many a happy Spurs fan today – and many sad hammers. Read the match report here. I took it a lot easier this weekend with my ankle – the exercises I’ve been given are giving me more movement in the joint (not full movement, but certainly more than I had when the cast first came off), […]

Ah bliss…a lazy Saturday morning (almost 11am). I’ve just got up and drunk my first cup of tea while surfing the web. I read this article regarding Vista – personally I’ve decided to give it at least 6 months before I take the plunge and upgrade totally – there are too many upgrade/install stories full of misery for me right now. Outside the sky is blue – spring is just weeks away 😀 and beyond that the endless warm days of summer…I miss all that heat. I got my ankle redressed yesterday – there’s only a very small part of […]

My ankle has been hurting big time this week 🙁 I overdid the ‘gradually put weight onto the ankle’ last weekend (read that as ‘tried to walk without crutches’) and so Sunday and Monday I was in agony. I was back to the hospital on Tuesday and the doctor said it was kinda usual to get pain, but I was to take it easier and make sure I elevate the ankle when it starts hurting…so I’ve had it elevated for 2 days now and it STILL hurts 😐 On a brighter note – I finally upgraded my PC…not too much […]

It doesn’t get much better than this – Arsenal losing yet another cup final (they are the definitive cup tourists – they turn up, look around, and go home with nothing), and Spurs thrashing Bolton (who just happen to be Arsenal’s bogey team) despite playing most of the game with 10 men. My ankle is very painful today – I certainly overdid it at the weekend and am now reaping the consequences. I’m back to the hospital tomorrow and no doubt will get a bollocking from the doctor. All I want is to go forward in time 6 weeks or […]

Well, after Wednesday’s away win at Everton, Spurs host Bolton at White Hart Lane tomorrow. Off the back of 2 away wins, spirits are high – can we kick-start our Premiership campaign and race to a top four finish? In other news – I got a call from someone in Papworth (about 8 miles away) reagrding a computer problem…see how word is spreading? getting cards printed was probably the best thing I ever did – so much work is coming in, and everyone that goes away happy (that’s everyone 😉 ) passes the word on…this time next year I’ll be […]

Well, I seem to be sticking to the ‘no drinking with antibiotics’ thing – I may have a night off tomorrow though, we’ll see 😉 I got the cut redressed this afternoon – the infection seems to be well under control – by Tuesday (when I go back to the hospitasl, hopefully for the last time), it should be completely gone. I’ve been walking (well, limping) without crutches a bit – first just around the house/office, but tonight I walked back from town (a 2 minute walk that took 20 minutes) and my ankle feels ok – just have to […]

I hardly slept last night I was so excited about finally getting the cast off. Then this morning the excitement turned to a kind of panic – what if they wanted to put another cast on? 😯 It felt so good when they cut off the cast and my foot could ‘breathe’ again though – the cut has an infection so I’m on a course of antibiotics for the next week (the celebrations are on hold…for now 😉 ). I WAS gonna put a picture of the cut on here, but decided to put it into it’s own gallery (for […]
