I was relying on the clock in the kitchen yesterday. It is the only time piece in the house that doesn't automatically adjust to daylight saving. By the time I realised it was an hour later than I thought I didn't have time to get to the gym before wandering down to the Standard for the Cardiff City Chelsea game. (Cardiff should have had a couple of penalties, Rudiger should have been sent off, Chelsea's goal was blatantly offside. Other than that, the officiating was good.) Too much Stella taken on board during the game to train after, thus thrown a day off by life.
