Yellow

Apparently the Spanish manager Luis Aragones is a follower of kabbalah and believes yellow to be an unlucky colour, shouting at Raul to remove a yellow surf style shirt, when he turned up at a meeting in said colour. Aragones' fear of yellow is so strong that he once ordered a set of training cones in the offending shade to be replaced with red ones. Unfortunately for Aragones,
Spain are in line to play Brazil in the quarter-finals of the World Cup.

Back

Not posted anything here for a couple of weeks; not really sure why.

Apparently ducks have been spotted on the outfield at Edgbaston, enjoying the pools of water, which doesn't bode well for the Test Match starting tomorrow. I'm guessing they popped over from Cannon Hill Park across the road.

New Order titles

Not too bad this morning. Not too blue monday.

Did post office, library and supermarket in gradually increasing drizzle.

Walking home, realised that suddenly and without ceremony, everythings gone green. Saw some swallows, or possibly swifts - never know the difference - the arrival of swallows/swifts is a sign of impending summer, or something...

Listening to Show Your Bones - v. good.

Haircut 100

Very exciting morning - haircut (nice and short for the approaching warmer weather), exchange of tablets at Chemist (wrong brand of lithium, and not slow release), and two loads of washing out in the sun.

My most embarrassing secret? I once saw Haircut 100 in Hull...
