I'm not enjoying all this Winter rain, but I'm trying not to be influenced by the weather anymore, so I won't talk too much about that.
My tip for the World Cup got off to a great start, didn't it? Argentina lost 2-1 to a team 50 places below them in the rankings, despite having the ball in the net FOUR TIMES in the first half.
(My God - it almost sounds like I know what I'm talking about!)
I have a worry that no-one wants to be a specialist in any chosen field anymore; they want to be 'that specialist who is also a YouTuber'. There must be 10,000 student doctors around the world who are also trying to carve out an online career by posting countless videos of themselves during their training. I do wish these people would just concentrate on learning what they need to learn to do their job properly, rather than focusing their efforts on becoming celebrities.
On a less moany note, it is only a month until we pass The Shortest Day. The mild October and the birth of my second son have seen me relatively unaffected by the onset of The Darkness because I barely noticed 'twas upon us. Now, suddenly, I realise that it's only three months until we're back in BST, and that has put me in a very cheery mood this evening!
Shit - it's four months, not three.... But still....
A very large portion of the people that I dealt with today seemed to be in an incredibly positive frame of mind, and I can only ascribe it to the fine result achieved by the England football team yesterday. Even with my limited knowledge, I know that 6-2 is a pretty impressive outcome, and I am particularly delighted to discover that it is the only match in the history of all the World Cup tournaments to have ended with that scoreline. That satisfies my data/statistical/mathematics weirdness immensely.
