redfiona99I'm not sure whether to laugh or cry.
I mean, one of my favourites, Tommy Voeckler is in yellow. There is nothing there not to be happy about.
But at the same time, my absolute favourite, Vinokourov, has finished his last tour in the back of an ambulance and not in Paris. The yellow jersey is the only one of the great tour jerseys he's never worn and now he won't have a chance to.
That's before you even get to Johnny Hoogerland and Juan Antonio Flecha who got knocked over by one of the TV cars. And they're both remarkably calm about the whole thing, given. I really do hope Hoogerland can carry on after the rest day.

The F1 was less upsetting than that, other than McLaren once again managing to stuff up their own chances.

Another week, another book to film adaptation that looks like it's going to go horribly wrong - http://uk.movies.yahoo.com/blog/article/223543/the-adventures-of-tintin-secret-of-the-unicornexclusive-trailer.html
Nothing against the style, but um, half of that is 'The Crab With The Golden Claws' not 'The Secret of the Unicorn'.

Book Meme - Day 5 - A book that makes you happy
I like a lot of books, but I don't think there's any I read because they make me happy. I think they sort of distract me and entrance me instead. That doesn't mean that there's not a lot that I re-read because I know they will have that effect.
