So I watched a lot of TV this weekend. First it was the rugby, with Wales and England which was a real cracker. I really enjoyed watching this game. I’ve also realized that when games are tight – ie can go either way at any moment or when the scores are close and one team nips in at the end – that's a great game of watching. I was impressed with two players: Ross Moriarty from Wales was totally committed to each tackle and play of the game he was involved in. The other was from England and it was Nathan Hughes. Both players took huge hits and were in one word, relentless. England won in the last moments of the game having come up from being down to win 16-21. Well done, honestly.
I also watched the France and Scotland game. This was also a good game, and in the realms of the northern hemisphere teams such as England and Wales(above), the calibre of rugby was great. I’m not sure this level, as good as it seemed would compare with South hemisphere teams but who cares – they’re not here. France got the win in a similar way to England’s win over Wales with the end result being 22-16. France played as well as Scotland, arguably better – they did win, didn’t they!
Then I watched the new Lego Batman film and New 50 Shades Darker film. Different films admittedly – one was fun, silly and ridiculous which is why I watched it. The other was dark, serious and intense which what I needed after the Logo film!
I’m also either getting heavier or my bed’s mattress is getting on a bit because I can feel the springs in it now and then. So I went out and bought myself a a matress topper which is a new thing I saw while browsing the Argos app on my phone. This one was not a memory foam one, which I was sure I wanted but then read that it can make you a bit warm and I don't like being too hot in bed(well…). So I got this “air-flow” type one which is better ventilated and thicker. Generally, I guess its a poor mans solution to getting a new mattress but its not my mattress and I’m a tenant, so I’m not exactly running out to spend money on it. I slept particularly well and this morning I didn’t feel like I had a stiff back or anything really. So that's good…
I also did some reading about interpreting requirements and converting them into conceptual models with associations, multiplicities and that. I actually got the hang of it pretty well but I was reading up between penalties and tries while watching to rugby – I perhaps I wasn’t as “in touch” and I could have been. Rugby was good though.
