*The formatting of text in Blogger really SUCKS.I have been editting this post about 20 times an it still comes back to the stage where I started the necessary improvements. So just read it please the way it is, I am not able to change any more the html coding in it, sorry.
Today is a bank holiday in Britain. We were able to come back home a day later than usual from our great weekend in Haddington.
Liska baked these delicious rock cakes, I managed to meet our friends from next door while Simon went to support Lyovka (only morally) in his rugby tournament. Did you know why the rugby ball is shaped the way it is? Now I know: it's eggy shape so that you could hold on to one end with both hands while you are kicking it at the same time. I am ensuring you - it sounds more complicated than it actually is!
Swine flu seems to be slowly pushing to the number two in the main headline news, with some more cases discovered in Scotland. We were coming back on a bus and we were desperately trying to move away as possible from a guy who was carellessly sneezing over other passengers and spitting on the bus' floor. He was obviously not wearing a sombrero but he also clearly did not hear what Sandi Toksvig said on 'News Quiz' radio show last Friday: 5 is Pandemic, 6 - pigs take over.
There was also a more reassuring comment that pigs are very intelligent - should not we hope that they are already working on the vaccine?
P.S. Listen to the programme for 4 more days here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b006r9yq
or have a look at Sandi's columns in The Sunday Telegraph (beautifully illustrated every week by Brett Ryder)
