Hollow Threats!

That's the assessment in at last, for better or worse. At least I didn't have sleepless nights over it like some of the other trainees, regardless of the stress I suffered during the daytime. What's more, having met up again with my co-students, everyone's saying the same thing, worst essay they've ever had to write, and that they hated it. Some of these folk have Masters too, so that tells you something. I think the Uni let us down with this one, the task was drivel, it was all very vague, and there wasn't any content to sink your teeth into. Nevermind, it could well be the last ever assessment I have to write. Why do I doubt that?

I suffered an attack of apathy reading how "Gordon Brown sends a warning to Mugabe" yesterday. Not that I'm not deeply concerned about what's happening in Zimbabwe, I've been speaking out about it for years. I just find it laughable that either Brown or anyone else in this country, seems to think that Mugabe is the least bit interested in what Brown has to say. It reminds me of Hitler and Chamberlain, except Hitler at least tried to play the appeasement game. Mugabe plays his own game, by his rules!

I was watching the U.S. Masters now and again over the weekend, and doesn't that Augusta place look lovely? Obviously a small fortune is spent keeping the course looking like that, but it is beautiful. Words like "azalias, catkins, and silver sands" abounded. Then of course there was some golf going on and good old Peter Aliss was having fun with Tiger Woods. He would say things like, "Tiger's earned his stripes" and "Tiger's prowling in the long grass". Sounded like a Frosties advert!
