nil-nil but a draw is enough to let arsenal qualify for the knock out stages of the champions league so we can relax - if we beat Bucharest then we should finish on top as well. but it was dull and i had to listen on arsenal tv 'cos stupid Sky put it on Sky One so the pub (that has Ntl/virgin) couldn't get it. She couldn't get it either and She was p**sed off D

im fairly relaxed after my hour on my back looking like a pin cushion but im not entirely well yet. frankly i expect this is what happens when you get to my age - you feel increasingly unwell until one day you don't. because you've died. health is for younger people i expect. i used to be indestructible in my early twenties so im probably paying the price for that now.. never mind eh.

student presentations tomorrow - the mock trials with me as the judge. im looking forward to it even if its three hours long. at the end of the day i have I&j and several pints of ale on the horizon.

well that feels more like a useful way to spend the day digging up the stories from the eighteenth-century city. one awful child abuse case from 1788 and more grist to the idea that women featured just as prominently in the lower courts as men, there are as many female thieves at the guildhall as male ones. other than that just a constant stream of fairly dull email and the odd titbit of interst. looks like my sunday will be spent helping friends shift a woodpile under which a colony of wild rats are living.. what fun eh?

so today i get to spend the day in front of my computer instead of squeezing into my cell at work and being disturbed and distracted. problem is i have so many different tasks piling up around me that im not sure which is the best one to tackle today. whichever it is it is unlikely to get done if i spend ages on here.... seeing my acupuncterist later after a break of over a month while she went back home. im glad i am as i could use being calmed down after few weeks i've just had..
