Internet Grrr...

My internet has decided to only work for about five minutes at a time, which means I start writing and get a whole post done, then try and submit it but find I can't because I no longer have a connection. I can't even save it. I can't tell you how many times I've started a post over the past six days...

Here we go again.

So many things have happened. The Commonwealth Games have been going on for a couple of weeks and there has been some drama. After all the 'will the rooms be ready in time' madness there have been yet more dramas - people being disqualified, athletes getting sick, talk of the pool water being dirty... it's been quite the soap opera! And also quite the medals fest (is that how you spell it?) for England - 111 as I type. 27 Gold, 49 Silver, 35 Bronze. Not too shabby at all. Highlights for me? Men's Gymnastics all-round competition, any swimming (I can't get enough of the swimming), and ladies 100m (for the drama drama drama!).

Ok, what else? Hamilton's run of bad luck/form continues. The Japanese Grand Prix was a wash out for qualifying so the qualifying and race all took part on the same day. Hamilton suffered a five-place grid penalty for changing his gearbox (a necessary change say his team) and started in eighth. He got a great start and was looking at coming in fourth in the closing stages of the race when he lost third gear and was easily passed by Button. He came in fifth and drops to fourth in the constructor championship. Vettel and Webber finished with a Red Bull 1-2, with Alonso slipping in third. Hamilton is all but out of the title race.

If you're reading this it actually worked so I'm smiling from ear to ear right now.

I'll (try to) keep you blogged...
