We have the builders in at home getting a new bathroom fitted and everything that could go wrong has gone wrong. The house is now a disaster zone so I have fled to my sisters flat for a few days where there is heating. It does mean getting attacked by my niece first thing in the morning but it's a small sacrifice for warmth.

The weather was terrible over the weekend so football was cancelled on Sunday. It is very frustrating to get up early expecting to do something active only to have the rug pulled from under your feet. I spent all day wanting to kick something. In the end I just went to the pub. biggrin

As a lover of both your football and American football, I try to stay clear of petty little 'That's not football!' disputes, but here let me start one: Wait. No, I won't pick a fight, so much as ask a question that's always bothered me: Why do they call off soccer games for weather? Of course, typhoons, or lightning or landslides should cancel all sport, but when it comes to rain and snow, I can't see how a game should ever be called off. They'll play American football in any condidtions so long as there isn't imminent danger to the fans, and I personally love to go be miserably cold and wet in a foot of snow for a game. SO: under what circumstances do they cancel soccer, and how do you feel about it?

btw the Fisk book is out of print in paperback here until February. Oh well.
