We won.

We did pretty poorly at the Kozi quiz. 4th place with 55 points.

The other big news today is that Schumacher is being evaluated to see if he is fit enough to replace Massa. I am hoping he is, and that he ruffles Kimi Raikkonens feathers a bit. Kimi is a driver that has never (to me at least) excelled in an under performing car. When it is good, he is good. When it is bad, he is worse.

I sticked it back from the Kozi to Mum and Dad’s. It was 0.26mile (0.42km), and did not take too long. My hands did not hurt more than normal, and my leg was fine. Roll on Monday 24th August.

The qualifying for the GP was punctuated with a stark reminder as to how fragile the drivers really are. A piece of Ruben Barichello’s car fell off, and in a bizarre accident, it hit Fellipe Massa’s helmet.

Well, after a long time, we finally won the Kozi bar quiz. We beat the “Shiraz Sisters” by 2 points. They had brought in 2 extra people to be on their team. We did not win the Snowball of £140. That was decided by a game of Bingo. We did however, win £41 between 5 of us (Gina, Danny, Neil, Brian and myself). Plus we won a round of drinks. Not bad for a £1 entry fee per person. Of course, we will now have to win a few more times to show that it was not just a flash in the pan…

I got back from work at 5:45pm, and got changed. Gina picked me up at 5:55pm, and we went off to the Thai Elephant in Warwick for a meal. It is Danny’s birthday on Friday, and his mum came along, as well as a friend of Gina’s.

It is one week until my return to Warwick Hospital for the fracture clinic. I am hoping that all is going well, and that I will be given the all clear to start putting weight on my leg. Read more…

It is 7 weeks since my operation on my leg. It seems to be ok, even after 3 days in the office, and I get more of a workout there than at Mum and Dad’s. Things at work are ok, and there is plenty to be getting on with. Again, more comments about my hair today, including the comedy nickname of “Rapunzel”.

The Kozi Quiz was done, and with the help of Mum, Dad, Gina and Brian, we came second to the Shiraz Sisters. This time was a bit closer. We got 60 points, and they got 64. Danny only came in at the end, and missed all of the quiz. With his help we might have got enough to win, but who knows.

Gina and Mum went into Stratford today to book their trip to India for my cousin Stephanie’s wedding. I asked them if they could get some ankle / wrist weights for me. I want to use them to build up my strength in my leg before I put full weight on it.

The alarm went off at 7:00am this morning. I gunned the laptop into life, and realised that the internet was not working. So, I got up and showered, and then went downstairs. Mum and Dad had not even got up! So, I got all my breakfast things together, including a glass for my milk, and I think I embarrased them into getting up. Whilst eating my Weetabix, Dad restarted the router.

Yesterday, I had decided that I would go to my apartment to make sure all was well. I could not connect to my VPN, so I knew something was up, it was just a case of finding out whether it was electrical or internetal. So, I was up earlyish, and had my normal breakfast, and then Dad took me to the apartment at around 10:45am.
