Life can be frustrating…

Work commitments, the lovely weather in London, the World Cup (don’t get me started on England / Nigeria – come on Brazil!) have been distractions from blogging.

Then when you’re finally in the mood to finalise your next couple of blog posts…you come down with an energy sapping cold 😦

So this blog post is just to let you know that I haven’t abandoned you but will be taking a couple more days to recuperate and relax – something which I haven’t done in a while.

And I have some great reviews lined up…starting with my thoughts on Game of Thrones S4 and X-Men: Days of Future Past.

In the words of The Terminator – “I’ll Be Back.”

Hope you feel better soon. England were awful but Nigeria were excellent tonight. Why did you pick those two?

  Thanks Mikey! Born in England, parents are Nigerian so I have affinity with both countries. England – well we did try, just didn’t take our chances. Defensively we were awful and Costa Rica might have a field day.
  
  Nigeria – we did perform better last night but somehow it never felt convincing. I really hope Ghana go the distance, they were amazing against Germany. The whole of Africa including me are behind them 😀

    Well fingers crossed Nigeria do well! I’d like to see at least one African team get through 🙂

    Thanks Mikey! I want us to do well but we have to face Messi soon and I don’t trust our defence against that genius lol. Ghana probably has a realistic chance – always entertaining and a constant threat.
    
    I think there should be a new rule implemented in the World Cup – if you score a goal, you must dance like Asamoah Gyan!

I can totally understand the challenge of life getting in the way of blogging. I’ve seen like one movie in the past three weeks. Finding time has been very tricky.

  Totally! Then when you find the time, tickets are expensive. When I saw X-Men: Days of Future Past, 2 tickets cost over £30! It wasn’t even IMAX pricing, just a normal showing. Good thing I really enjoyed the film.
