A Tortoise in the Garden

This week, for a change, has been filled mainly with revision. This has left extremely little time for other exciting adventures and as such, I have very little of those adventures to share with you.

I have learnt that people tend to get tetchy when products try to kill them - it's a bad idea, for example, to make a homicidal door. I have also studied a proof that curiosity did in fact NOT kill the cat. This is, allegedly, because Jack (the man who owns the cat, named Tuna) happens to own a dog, Rover. This makes Jack an animal lover and therefore would NOT kill a cat. After extensive proof and tree traversal we get the answer. Curiosity did NOT kill the cat. Certainly not a cat named Tuna, owned by animal loving Jack.

Well that settles it then.

I have further discovered that Unicorns are certainly horned and magical, however it is impossible (without further investigation) to determine whether or not they are mythical. We also don't know if it is a mammal or immortal. This is a shame.

Perhaps this site has more information, I've yet to find the time to read it

Learning all this has come at a cost. As I said, I've had little spare time and as such haven't been able to take to the water as much as I should. Training for the Great North Swim [Massive thank you to anyone who has donated, by the way. Very much appreciated.] has taken a hit - and I've only got 6 days left. 4 of these will be clogged up with revision. Fingers crossed.

So, before I get back to staring at a text book trying to absorb the wonderments contained within; It has come to my attention that the fixtures for next season have been released. In a press release, we're told "Steve Kean's side start life in the npower Championship with a tricky away trip to Ipswich Town". Fixtures can be found here. Championship does have more of a ring to it than Premier League. Kind of.

"I have a tortoise in the garden, if you can believe that."
