The special one

You would be justified thinking I am talking about Jose Mourinho. Earlier today he completed the Italian double and Saturday his team will be contesting the Champion's League title - one win away from an unprecedented treble in Italian football. And no one can blame it on the lack of quality opponents. Whilst they did not exactly do it in style, Inter did beat Chelsea and Barcelona. So, as much as I hate the Portuguese's pragmatic approach, I simply cannot favour Bayern - you know, Hitler and all that - so good luck Special One.

Anyway, the special one I was thinking about is MFBD. This weekend was her birthday party - a 5-girl sleep over. If you are wondering; we survived. The thing that impressed me most was the planning. I am not joking. Pay attention all you future employers. Let's put it this way, if the European Space Agency planned its Rover mission to this level of detail, we would have already been holidaying in Mars. "Antigua? So last year? We are going to Mars this summer!"

The day, and night, and day, were planned in a timeline down to 10min intervals. Games, food, drinks, tableware, music, movies, presents etc were all meticulously organised. And by God did it work! Seriously, this little one is going somewhere. She is special.

PS 415km down. 585km to go.
