So what has happened in the world this week? There has been a bit of everything from common sense amongst our politicians where they decided not to get embroiled in a military confrontation with Syria (just yet) to Tokyo "winning" the honour to run the 2020 Olympics. Winning... hell's teeth we are still paying for the Olympics of last year and will be doing so for a good many years to come. The long lasting legacy of the Olympics isn't quite what the government had in mind. You only have to look at the mess they have made with returning the three day eventing course back to what it was again. A shocking fiasco. Then there was the heart warming story of the discovery of an award of the Blue Cross medal for bravery to a Great Dane who, during the second world war, urinated on an incendiary device thus extinguishing it and saving the property from going up in smoke. It really comes down to a lack of anything interesting going on (and let's not call the Australian elections interesting, shall we?) when the best thing that can happen is a piddling dog getting a medal. Actually, not quite the best thing. The best thing would be a compilation of cats doing things that make them look clumsy.
Bleagh! I am still in the throes of this wretched cold. It got to the point where I had to take some cough mixture to try and stop the incessant scratchy, dry cough. That is something I rarely have to do. I think what is the most trying is the fatigue that goes with it. Having woken up this morning after nine hours of sleep, it took me all of about thirty minutes before I felt so washed out that I could have slept again. Still, we took a walk this morning to clear the tubes and get some exercise and although I felt a lot better, I then spent most of the afternoon sleeping! So what has happened in the world this week?
