Feeling quite extraordinary today. I might even skip to school today. The recent weather has been pretty chilly and, dare I say it, almost unpleasant. This has done wonders for my energy levels; people from Scotland have gone and colonised many parts of the world. I think they always move to the coldest part of the region simply to complain about the weather.
Attempt mission impossible, by getting the class to sit still and follow a series of instructions. At the start the teacher asks me casually If I can: "just take the class for an extra two hours". With nothing planned I naturally agree. It takes all of that the time to carry out my lesson. One of my old teachers always used to say: "Read the question". How right he was.
Said energy levels suitably drained (that didn't last long), I hand over to the Germans for computing and arrow my way to the nearest pub. Sitting in the village bar, which is not quite "The Dog and Duck", I people watch. The small things are important. It comes to my mind that I could write a score of blogs just looking at people here. Whether I could convey them in any comprehensible and interesting fashion is a different matter.
Meet a friendly young fellow by the name of Romeo walking back to town and he tells me he met Samuel Eto, Cameroon's super hero, on the pitch we are walking past. "He gave me 20,000 Francs, and everybody wanted it, so I gave it to my mum".
