Interesting Feet

L and I have been intrigued, as well as baffled, by the saga of the Humberside feet. Two feet have been found recently near the Humber estuary but they are not from the same person. Which is a bit odd, suspicious even. A right foot belonging to a man from South Yorkshire was found on a beach in Cleethorpes beach on 11th August but his left foot was found a month later near an island off the coast of the Netherlands. I’m intrigued to how they identified them.

Another foot, which was found on 4th September near Barton-on-Humber, was found to belong to a different man who was from Lincolnshire. How did they know? Did he report it missing? It’s all very suspicious if you ask me.

However Humberside Police, when asked about these finds, say there were no suspicious circumstances. Erm. Are they sure?

Tonight, the boys and I are training, whilst L is off running with friends and I pick her up later from the pub. Runs always finish at pubs, it’s unavoidable.

Well Worth It

Things seemed to go really well last night. Just a huge blister (and I mean huge) on the ball of my right foot and a dislocated shoulder (ok slight exaggeration). All the same I bin my planned light jog to work and get the bus instead. I hobble in to work and limp up the stairs. I can just about manage to lift my coffee cup with my bad shoulder. So well worth it.

L reckons I may need to contact my physio. Pah! Mere flesh wounds.

Bee Update. It doesn’t sound good at L’s work place, in fact it sounds a bit like the Somme. Apparently there are little striped bodies everywhere. She reckons she’s sealed all the skirting boards with parcel tape but having to have the windows closed isn’t doing much to keep the room cool in this weather we’re having. I hate to be negative but if the Bee man is a typical tradesman, he’ll probably turn up, have a quick look around, say they didn't tell him it was a bee problem and vow to return tomorrow with the correct tools. He certainly won’t stick around long, there’s a match on this afternoon you know.

Ah yes the match. L escapes the Somme and goes to watch it in Scruffy’s with Son. I’m jealous. Though somehow she manages to get through it without a bottle of wine in her hand. Hope Son has his revision with him, he has an exam first thing tomorrow. I shall listen to it on the radio because I have a feeling the internet will grind to a halt as everybody and his dog will be attempting to watch it online.

England take the lead just like they did that against the USA but this time the final outcome is more favourable. 1-0 win. Slaughtered them. Bring on the Germans.

Bee Update. They are not masonry bees, the bees turn out to be wasps. That first bee inspector wasn’t very good then was he.

In the evening I’m out in Derby with a friend, on the premise that alcohol heals all wounds. The shoulder soon feels better but best to have another pint. It’ll help the healing process. Prevention is better than cure.
