Monday 31st October 2011

And back to Monday.

We had a quiet weekend, it just seemed the right thing to do. The weather wasn't very good over the whole weekend, grey and drizzly on Saturday and only slightly better on Sunday.

So, we went shopping in Tesco first thing on Saturday, to get it out of the way early before the crowds, and we were back at home by half eight. I turned the radio on, and tried to rest by back which is still giving me problems, but not quite as bad as last week.



Anyway, I listened to Danny Baker and then Fighting Talk, and settled down to watch the borefest that was to be the game between Chelsea and the Arse. And it was possibly one of the best games I have seen, mainly as both teams seem to have forgotten how to defend. It was crazy with tons of chances at both ends and the game ending in a 5-3 victory for the Gooners, but it could have gone the other way.



Then switch to the radio to follow how Norwich would do; a 3-3 draw with Blackburn, with City's equalising goal coming 3 minutes into extra time. So, another point, and despite being 3-1 down going into the final 10 minutes.

We watched 'Thor' in the evening, hoping it would be good as Kenneth Brannagh directed it; but it was a mess and deep down someone coping with great power having great responsibilities; I seem to have heard that before.



Sunday we went to Waldershare Wood looking for fungi, and yet despite the rain mid-week, the ground under the trees was bone dry and mostly fungi-less. I snapped some stuff and we came home, at which point I began to sneeze and did not stop for most of the day.

That, might be my fault, as we had a spring-clean at lunchtime, and with me being allergic to house dust the sneezing got worse. I was going to watch the football in the afternoon. But, I got seduced by Sir David Attenborough and his new series about the Arctic; it was glorious and worth missing the football for.



On Friday, the news we have been waiting for at work came through; we signed two orders; a huge relief, but we will probably have to wait until 2013 before the first turbine is installed. Still, it shows that things are moving forward at last. and another customer is buying one of the pre-production 7MW, showing great faith in our future.

Lets hope there is going to be more good news in the run up to Christmas.....
