GAME OF THRONES

My wife is in Belgium this week on a school exchange, so it is just my son (he of handball fame) and I at home at the moment.

Life has become very male, meaning lots of premier league and F.A. cup football on the television, and rudimentary cooking. Plus he has introduced me to Game of Thrones, the HBO blockbuster now about to show its third season. I had never seen it before, but my enterprising son has managed to illegally download the first five episodes onto his computer, so that his dad can watch them. Only another fifteen to go and I'll be up to date.
