Friday 31st May,
I plan to leave hospital, and return to my flat!
Job done (ish)! I type from my Flat!!!!
I will still need care workers, as I cannot mobilise totally. I am still wearing my leg brace, which will be due off, in 3 weeks. I originally stated the wrong date (i can’t count)! It is due off June 20th!
Mistake!!! - Not 20th, actually 29th!
OK, I made another mistake, by claiming that the photo of me laying in hospital (in a purple Fiorentina shirt), was the wrong date!
I quickly include a music video for you, because along with David Gray’s album ‘Draw The Line’, I have rediscovered the more recent Stereophonics music. ‘Graffiti on the Train’ (2013) is a quality album!
Violins and Tambourines
Mid-year is end-of-June, however this Blog was born mid-December, so
I have considered the end of May to be a good midpoint of each year for this blog, to select and review...
May throughout Blog-life

No Alarms, and No Surprises
Not so strong, and Not so stable
The 2019 Giro D’Italia (Tour of Italy) finishes this Sunday with a Time Trial circuit around a city (‘In fair Verona, where we lay our scene’). It promises to be quite an amazing finish. All stages have proved special, but two have stuck out for me.
Tuesday’s stage over the Mortirolo climb, into Ponte di Legno, was won by Maglia Azzura. Victor, Giulio Ciccone had been successfully fighting for the blue, King of the Mountains jersey throughout the race so far, and he continued on winning, racing over the horrific Mortirolo climb.
Above, riders brave ascending the Mortirolo, as Vincenzo Nibali attacks.
Below shows the moment Ciccone wins the gruelling stage.
Thursday’s stage 18 was so dramatic. Damiano Cima fought off the sprinting, chasing peloton, after being part of a trio breakaway, all day. Dramatic!!
Forza Damiano Cima! Stage profile suggests a breakaway being caught by the peloton...but...
OK. I am an Arsenal fan.
Well done Chelsea.
Positives
My teams succeeded
Arsenal reached further this season in Europa, same in league!
Fiorentina avoid embarrassment of relegation, after a horrific end of season. New ownership, interesting. Potentially Chiesa could pay for an overhaul for Vincenzo Montella...v interesting.
