My heart is broken....
Arsenal lost to ManU last Saturday.
But we were winning first. Before goalie Almunia made a mistake and let Rooney score.
And then Mr. Abou Diaby made an even bigger mistake - A SELF-GOAL! CATASTROPHE!
And Wenger got so mad later with a disqualified goal that he was made to leave the technical area.
And Arshavin tore something during the match and is injured now.
awful
BUT at least Arsenal lost because of Arsenal's mistakes and not because ManU was any good. These mistakes are permissible at the start of the season so stuff can be sorted for later.
I just wish they weren't happening against bloody ManU!
The week just started so badly. First this Arsenal thing. Then yesterday we discovered that my dog has a cancerous tumour that is inoperable. She's 15 years old, that is 105 human years old......just too fragile to operate upon. So we're basically going to just sit here and watch her suffer until she dies
:(
Its one bad news after another.
Anyway
For everyone who's celebrating - Happy Onam!!
Onam is the biggest festival in the state of Kerala - a Harvest festival and a celebration of the golden age of Mahabali, the mythical Asura King who comes up from Patala (the underworld) once a year at this time to revisit his kingdom in Kerala. Also the time for the famous Snake Boat race in Kerala.

I'm having a traditional Onam lunch at my friend's place. I guess on a banana leaf as is usual. Normally it involves huge amounts of aviyal coconut milk stew and pachadi (raita) and sambar and rasam and kozhambu (wait is that from kerala? or tamil?) and rice and chutney and mango pickle and paapad and steamed plantains and dessert - maybe payasam?
Watch this space....
