Sleeping In The Sahara

I might aswell be sleeping in the Sahara... It is stupidly hot to sleep so I decided to get up and sit in bed with my laptop on my legs, making me even hotter! Great thinking from me to be honest!

My room never has been very cool. In the summer, it gets mind-destroyingly hot and in the winter it can be described as "a bit balmy", but only if you have the radiator on full blast. Tonight however, is closer to the mind frazzingly warm stage and even with a fan, that is pretty much blowing warm air into my face, it is impossible to get to sleep. The window is thrown wide open, attempting to invite the air that has probably gone on vacation to Mars into my room and all I have to keep cool is a half-broken fan blowing more hot air.. The time is 04:58, and frankly I'm tired. My 17 hours of last night means I was on a relatively comfortable sleeping pattern but now it's all ruined. Thanks to GLOBAL BLOODY WARMING!

Not as if I have anything to get up for though.. My first event of the day comes in the shape of a cup quarter-final for Aspen which is fairly huge and I may end up going on my first of 2 consecutive nights out seeing as it's AK's birthday.. Otherwise, I'm going to be sleeping, unless the Sun comes through my window, which, given the temperature, is a distinct possibility..

I'm a bit nervous about cricket tomorrow. The only reason I'm in the team is pretty much my catching ability which seems to give everyone a huge lift when I take a flying one-hander, otherwise I don't do a lot, unless you count gathering money at the end, so I'm surprised I'm that popular! I also have games on Saturday and Sunday so another tiresome weekend coming up! Yep, you did read that right, I am playing on Saturday.. I gave in to the new captain's persuasions as he was claiming he "needed the experience". If I'm "experienced" then we must have the youngest team in living history ... same as usual then.. Hopefully another win on Sunday. We've got Flitwick at home and I got a decent score against them earlier in the season so hopefully I can emulate that!

One thing I haven't spoken about a lot is hayfever. I am a major sufferer, all the consequences of a grass fight I had 8 years ago.. We had a fight when the grass had just been mowed and clearly Mother Mitten thought I had been in a proper fight, maybe with Lennox Lewis, as my eyes were all puffed up and I was crying like a baby.. Ever since then, every summer, I've been drugged up to the eyeballs with Clarityn tablets, nasal spray and eye drops aswell as having a nosebleed every other day and bleeding all over the house.. I had a nosebleed on the 8th tee today but luckily I had my muddy club cleaning towel to help me..! After I recovered, I went and sliced it right on to the 10th green, a hole I nearly went on to eagle!

Also, I'm running out of money... I next get paid on the 15th July... that date rings a bell, what's happening then...?
