Sport, Sport all the way

song lyric of the day:

Said the apple to the orange:
"Oh I wanted you to come
Close to me and kiss me to the core
Then you might know me like no other orange
Has ever done before" - Al Stewart

                                           *                          *                          *

I often wonder how different my life would be if I didn't like sport. For a start I would have no involvement in the village Olympic Committee or the football club or the cricket club or the local sports association.

What I would have had today was more time on my hands because it was a non stop sport-fest all the way. So after digging a garden during the morning I felt like some rest and relaxation and so watched in order -

England move into a winning position against West Indies in the first test - cricket
Frankel win his tenth consecutive race at Newbury and become one of the greatest of all time - horse racing
West Ham beat Blackpool 2-1 to return to the Premier League - football
Hearts beat Hibs 5-1 in the Scottish Cup Final - football
Leinster beat Ulster in the Heineken Cup Final - rugby union

and all that was before in the evening I wrote this blog ahead of the Chelsea v Bayern Munich Champions League Final and the British Heavyweight Boxing Title fight between David Price and Norwich's Sam Sexton. Oh my head hurts must be time for more red wine and a coffee.
