Derby County had a thoroughly miserable season last year. A disaster from start to finish, punctuated by poor signings, managerial change, ownership transfer, defeat, humiliation and a front page story about the new gaffer’s ‘home movie’ skills.

Wonderful stuff, [...]

I attended the Guides Swimming Gala tonight with No.1 Child.
Very competitive and pretty good really.
One Brownie was exceptional. Fastest swimmer in any age group by my reckoning. Shame she will be too young for London 2012.

Dog wants to relieve itslef but owner doesn’t notice.
