24th july

It would appear to be true.  Hibs v Barcelona.  At Murrayfield.  On July 24th.

Yes, we’re just the folly to another meaningless game in corporate sport.

Yes, it’s being played in a rugby stadium.

Yes, that lot did it last year, so we’re like the second man on the moon.

Yes, they probably won’t have to try very hard to beat us.

Yes, the ticket prices are ridiculous (but it’s for charidee).

And yes, it will come in the middle of what is already appearing to be a crowded pre-season schedule, what with the Intertatty Cup and all that.

But, it’s Barcelona.  Playing Hibs.  In Scotland. 

I’ll be there.  And, in fact, I’m likely to be found in generous mood buying tickets for people in order to get them along.  Cannae wait.

 

a whole month

Has gone by.  How did that happen.  Oh yes, here’s why…..

  • I’ve had to evacuate my flat, allow Rentokil to come in and spray vicious chemicals, and am currently residing at my folks’ little holiday flat.  If you really want to know why, I’ll tell you, but it’s really not very nice.
  • Work.  It’s a bit stressful.  This little thing called the credit crunch is the bane of my life.  Someone pointed me in the direction of this blog piece which is a good take on the current situation.  The writer works for the same organisation I do, though I don’t necessarily agree with everything he says.  Maybe I’ll give my indepth thoughts someday, but I do have a slight reluctance to expound publically.  Ask me about it sometime.

It’s now the bank holiday weekend and I am DETERMINED to give my brain a rest, it’s been absolutely buzzing with some work stuff.  Even now, I’ve woken up early on a Saturday morning and am thinking about a particular situation.  To be fair, and to give God a bit of glory, I’m not feeling as totally wired and stressed about it as I was last weekend.  A friend prayed with me at church on Sunday, following some serious prayer at cell group the previous Thursday.  Amazingly, He cares, who’d have thought it.
