I have voluntarily exiled myself to the spare bed - Rob's 'virus' kept us both awake all last night. I have been grumpy all day. This week has sort of gone downhill from Monday. I met a very interesting archaeologist on Monday. I suppose you kind of forget, when you do things every day, that the job you do is actually very interesting. I mean, I do find it very interesting, just sometimes the sheer quantity of things and having to do so many of the boring parts as well makes you forget. Anyway, the interesting archaeologist, well... he was particularly interesting because he was going to do some geophysical survey work the next day for Alan Garner! Okay, maybe it's not that interesting, but I did find it very interesting at the time. I remember reading his books when I was small. :)

We were supposed to be going out to see the Renato D'Aiello Band this evening but what with Rob being ill, and me being very tired and generally bleugh, we sent Ali and Mat instead. Who knows if they enjoyed it, hehe. I have no idea what the band's like, I booked it because of the heavy saxophone element, thinking Rob would like it. All our plans are a bit hazy at the moment. We were supposed to be going to Southend for a long weekend since it's my Mum's birthday. Don't know if we'll make it now.

He's been ill ages now. Poor little Rob. Aaah...

Not much else to say except Jenson Button Rocks! The Brazilian GP on Sunday was brilliant, most exciting race of the season! The first laps had me literally on the edge of my seat. I could hardly bear to watch it. Whatever else you say about the man, he's pulled off some brilliant overtaking moves this year. I'm glad he's World Champion. Hopefully next year will be as close as this year has been!
