Wow! Everton and Chelsea 'clash in second game of the season' according to Yahoo, making out we all care about this fateful coincidence that 2 Premier division teams will play each other, but not only that, its the second game of the season!! It's just, well, amazing.
Or maybe it's just that the sports editor needed to make something out of nothing.
Take yesterday's 'big' cycling news that 'Froome is relieved Wiggins is out of the Tour'. When the actual comment was '..well, I wouldn't say that relieved is the correct word' (or similar), it's just that the reporter wanted it to be the right word, so applied some bent journo rule that they are able to twist even the most inaccurate facts into a meaty headline that attracts the eye. ..and I expected more from the BBC.
Anyway, I'm winding down today ready for my hol. We leave at midnight tonight for 9 days near Lake Annecy cycling up (and down) as many mountains as my legs will stand. I'm assuming my knees will give up first, but we'll see. Don't know if I'll be updating this journal, but I'll be giving it a go.
I managed a few miles jogging last night in the heat - it was a good 19 degrees which is relatively very hot compared to what has gone on in the last few days, my theory being that I need to acclimatise.
