Well, not feeling great last night, and woke up this morning not feeling much better. So I am currently in bed trying not to have a headache, and trying not to be sick.
Did stay up a little last night to watch the Grand Prix - had hopes that Webber would do well, and the middle part of the race was looking good, but then something seemed to go not quite right as it often does with Mark, and he ended on the bottom step of the podium. Always thereabouts, but this season not quite having things fall his way.
Funny the way times change - there was a time when Webber and everyone watching would be overjoyed at a third place, but now both he and us expect more, so third is a little disappointing. Have to keep in mind that he came third out of the very best of drivers in the world! No small feat really.
Cadel Evans on the other hand rode a great time trial to finally pull of the big one in France. I thought it would be close with 57 seconds to make up, but was blown away to see him end about a minute and half up. Always knew he was a pretty decent time trialer, but but didn't think he had that much over the Shlecks.
So congrats to Cadel.
I am taking the opportunity, while I am sitting here in bed, to get some extra study done. This little computer (a 'netbook') is a wonderful little thing for me - it allows me to study almost anywhere. It sometimes gets a run on the train, if it is not too packed - I feel a bit guilty having it open and having my arms set out beside me to type, that unless I have a seat to myself, I don't bring it out. There just is not enough room to sit it forward far enough to not have my elbows beside me, and the seats are not wide enough for me to do that.
That, however, is not an issue here in bed. I can spread out a bit, and stay fairly warm half under the covers, and be cared for by my lovely and loving wife.
Anyone seen the "Man-cold" video....... ;~D
Anyway - back to study.
