The last 48 hours I've felt less than 100%, sinus pain,hearing loss and general fatigue. To spend two days housebound is not an usual state for me. On Monday having received Fathers Day gifts I pdownloaded the new Crowded House and Gaslight Anthem albums, it all still seems a bit strange, buying music without having the comfort of the album cover or CD case. Anyway having been bought an itunes voucher the experiment is underway. I also received David Lloyd's book "Start the Car" which will be saved for when the exam marking ends and the Arsenal DVD from last season, which will be viewed post world cup.
Tuesday was Budget Day, and as expected its cuts today, and cuts tomorrow. No one will convince me, that the Tories and their partners in crime , the Lib Dems, aren't getting some deep seated pleasure in attacking the public sector. All those speeches about the private sector have suffered and it's only fair etc. What rot ! How started the fire ? It wasn't the nurses, teachers or social workers. When the Tories say we're in it together, run a mile.
Last night I was unable to get to the Oval to see Surrey's victory over Hampshire, but the compensation was an excellent performance from England's ODI team against Australia. A sparkling century from Eoin Morgan saw England home. I might have doubts about Morgan the test match batsman but as a one day/T20 player he is a huge find and great entertainer.
Back to work, and wait for England's performance this afternoon. Anything short of an emphatic victory will bring forward a national crisis, of mammoth proportions.
