So this week the mega US bank bailout bill was finally put through and OJ Simpson was actually convicted of a crime. More locally, I finally have my watch back after sending it off ages ago for a new battery and seal. This is good as it means I can stop looking at my arm to tell what the time is.

Looks like rain again this weekend, so no tap-fitting for me. I wonder when we will get the next weekend without rain?

Urgh. This country falls apart when we have rain. Which is quite silly considering that rain is pretty much the norm around here. It just seems that we can’t handle it. I do not know why. What I do know is that it’s not a lot of fun being in the rain all the time. I hope there’s a dry day or two next week.

Talking of rain, it’s stopped play in Andy Murray’s match against Nadal at the US Open semi. He was 2 sets up at the time.

Lately, I have mostly been playing Spore. The game is pretty quirky and fun. Designing stuff is a great part of the game. Some of the bits I am finding a bit confusing at the moment, which will probably change as I play it more. I will try to get some photos of the funky creatures on here, too.
