Most of this blog was written in a white Fiat Uno. We went for a relaxing afternoon in the countryside and I forgot my book so I improvised a blog on a corn flakes carton.

My experience of changing car tyres almost matches that of F1 mechanics. Today I had another puncture, the third since March. I learned to live with this, but when I found that the spare tire was also deflated…. I inflated the spare with my semi-broken foot pump but as soon as I arrived at my fiancé the tyre started deflating again. I arrived home now, at around midnight after calling the car towing service because of the double puncture. Damn!

Most European Leagues are at their final stages so there is plenty of interesting football to watch. Milan could have put a sure foot into winning the Italian League today but they only drew 0-0 to Udinese. Roma are still hoping for the title winning an easy 3-0 against a soon to be relegated Empoli. The surprise of the day was the 4-3 defeat of Juventus at the hands of Lecce who at one point in the game were winning 4-1. Leece's new George Weah, Konan, scored the goal of the day after a solo 3/4 pitch descent and a strong shot beat Buffon. Impressive!

Arsenal won the English Premier League title today after drawing 2-2 against Tottenham. There is a particular Arsenal fan at work who'll definitely have an ear to ear smile tomorrow and pester anyone mildly interested in football.

In the evening we went to watch Real Madrid against Barcellona. It was a hell of a game even though Real lost 2-1 after playing the last 21 minutes with 10 men. In the first half Victor Valdes Barca's substitute goalkeeper made some miraculous saves after two consecutive pinball action sequences with the ball bouncing and flicking at Barca's goalpost. At last Solari opened the score but soon after the new substitute Kluivert made the score level. After Figo's dismissal for two yellow cards, Barca increased pressure and a lovely lob from Ronaldino put Xavi on goal. It seems that Frank Rajkard is doing a hell of a good job at the Catalan club.

A small snippet of this morning’s mass caught my attention. The preacher argued that during our youth we are dreamers with ideals we strive to achieve. As time goes by the harsh realities of life and experiences corrupt our youth and destroys our capability to dream. We need to keep on dreaming to keep young at heart, and experience must help us understand that we can realise our dreams at any age.

I have arrived at the final stages of my new blog design. I'm strictly holding to my recent principle that software should be released when it is ready (don’t argue that it can never be ready – I know that). The first impression is the one that counts most, so it needs to be positive to make a product successful. Keep on the alert for a link soon though.
