These things have been on my mind today, while this site was not:

– Pain, specifically in the ball of my left foot, where it feels as if I’ve pulled a small muscle.
– Grammar, and common English usage.
– This hypothetical scenario: Someone says you can go through to the world cup if you can do ten keepy-uppies with a particular ball. They then refuse to let you have the ball. What do you do?
– Why lunchtime meetings so rarely give you the opportunity to actually eat lunch - everyone stares instead at a plate of sad sandwiches wilting in the middle of the conference table.
– Plane crash in Southern Germany, mere metres from my aunt and cousins, on such familiar territory - Uberlingen, Oewingen, Ernatsreute, Salem, Meersburg, Bodensee.
– Sleep, and why I can’t.
– The new Coldplay single, which is really rather good.
