This week has been one of pain. Recovering from snowboarding took about three days. I had a very uncomfortable yoga session on Wednesday, but it did the trick. By Friday I felt quite normal so I went swimming. I wasn't even going that hard yet I still managed to pull my inner-thigh muscle. It's still a bit tight so I won't be going crazy with it. And then I woke up this morning and found my leg like this:



I fell over last night. Being a little squiffy I didn't pay any attention to it until I was sitting in a bar and found my hand covered in blood where I'd been playing with the hole it had made in my tights. I'm not sure who put the plasters on me. Anyway, it's not a particularly bad wound, but it looks ugly. The bruise is the colour of egg-yolk. And it stings. Boo hoo.

I've been trying to keep this gripe at bay for some time now, but it just keeps hanging around. I can't stand people who don't know how to spell. Not because they don't know how to, but because they're bloody lazy. Things like writing "I'm havin a grate time". It's only one more hit of the key to put a 'g' in there and as for 'grate', you should be chained to the OED and strung up until the weight of words dismembers you.

I'm not perfect, I make typos and errors all the time, but I at least try to be coherent and observe a few rules of writing. It's getting to the point where if I read something (usually on the internet) that is illiterate I immediately stop reading and have to sigh loudly. I'm a little concerned that this is getting to me. Becoming an English teacher has made me rather pedantic.
