Feeling the heat

Afternoon readers,

The torch as it traversed Avon Gorge this morning.

 I address you from a blazing hot Bristol which today has been the location for the Olympic torch relay. I awoke early this morning and took a brisk jog to the suspension bridge where I was able to watch the procession. It was great to see the public lapping up such an important event in our history. I was glad to have the opportunity to now be able to say "I've seen it". I'm now buzzing for the race on Sunday where I'll hopefully improve my times from previous attempts. The heat may be more a burden to my progress but at 9am it's sure to be cooler which is more conducive to running.


It has struck me how close this academic year is to finishing. With 3 exams remaining until I can close the books for summer I have been in touch with UWIC to confirm my place and evidence. On inquiring about the status of my application I was told that their institution have lost the copies of my qualification. To say I was infuriated with the administrator on the phone was an understatement. Incompetence appears to be rife, what have I let myself in for? This in hand, a message to all readers if you notice any UWIC students holding aloft a set of  GCSE and A level grades please approach and ask for them back on my behalf. Many thanks.



The sporting calendar welcomes the prestigious Monaco Gran Prix this weekend with the teams battling out to take pole at the acclaimed "toughest track of all time". In a review published by the BBC featuring Murray Walker he's backing Lewis Hamilton who for the last 3 years has had a troublesome time in the seat of his McLaren. This year however, things have come good for him finding good pace and gaining a greater level of mental maturity compared to seasons gone by. He is no longer noted for his outlandish outbursts and garish driving style but for his tactical racing and sublime passing maneuvers. Good luck Lewis. The chasing pack including the current world champion Seb Vettel, Raikonnen, and Alonso won't  be brushed aside all that easily.

I wish everyone well this fine Wednesday. After checking my social media subscriptions it would seem many are firmly focused on enjoying the weather and making plans for summer. A good ethos to adopt whilst revision is the order of the day. Look ahead at the summer activities, find your inspiration there. God speed hard grafters.

Remember remain interesting
