Quote from Greys Anatomy "As doctors we can't undo our mistakes..."

The character Meredith Grey narrates this quote played by Ellen Pompeo;

As doctors we can't undo our mistakes, and we rarely forgive ourselves for them. But, it's a hazard of the trade. But, as human beings we can always try to do better. To be better. To right a wrong. Even when it feels irreversible. Of course, I'm sorry doesn't always cut it. Maybe because we use it so many different ways. As a weapon. As an excuse. But, when we are really sorry, when we use it right. When we mean it. When our actions say what words never can. When we get it right "I'm sorry" is perfect. When we get it right, "I'm sorry" is redemption.

Wonder if this will work? Hmm guess I'll soon find out won't I!





Tai Chi

So I have decided that in September I will be starting to learn Tai Chi. I have signed up for weekly classes and we shall see, I'm looking forward to a change in exercise, I use the Wii Fit and have had yoga classes in the past year or so. Although again have been pretty lapse on the Wii Fit and thinking about it I really should do some today...maybe...

Although I haven't actually put on any weight through not exercising recently, but that's a bad trend to get into right? So yes I will start exercising more regularly (notice how I'm trying to convince myself with this!)


This week I'm off to Aldenham Country Park; full of woodland walks, open fields, and lakes. There is a lovely animal area that you can walk around, but by far the best part is the Winnie the Pooh’s '100 Aker Wood’ trail where you can walk around to see if Winnie the Pooh or any of his friends are at home. Each house is made of wood and has a door knocker.


You can even play "pooh sticks" at the bridge :-) For more info have a look at

The Football Season Is Back (Yay!)


Finally the football season is back and it's not any season this year, this is a World Cup Year! As a keen Manchester United and England supporter the focus will be on one man this year, Wayne Rooney. He can fill the void left by Cristiano Ronaldo at United and can lead us to the World Cup in South Africa next Summer, but only if two things happen;


1. He must, must, must stay fit (Which is hard for someone who gives 100% every time he plays, and moans and argues at being rested)


2. His temper is controlled (No one can forget Ronaldo getting him sent off in the last World Cup in 2006)


Of course with Michael Owen now at Old Trafford too, there is a possible goal partnership of Rooney and Owen at international and club level. Things are looking up for United and of course England.


The weekend's opening weekend sprung a few surprises with Wigan's away win at Aston Villa and Arsenal's 6-1 demolition at Everton.


But for me the highlight of the weekend had to be the picture below, of all the clubs for a goal to be disallowed it had to be Crystal Palace. We all know what Neil Warnock is like and if ever more case was needed for goal line technology then this is another to add to the list. Warnock has already acknowledged that it happened to Aidy Boothroyd at Watford and he soon lost his job after a goal was said to have not crossed the line.
Although it's only the first game of the season, points at any time are vital for a club and a manager's survival.



Maybe all the referee needs is a trip to Specsavers, they normally have offers on!
