run doggy run!

london offers such strange experiences....getting together with everyone from uni meant going to someone's house for thai green curry (which i didn't eat because there was chicken in it, but the point is, that at home we would have had pizza) and then going to the dog races in wimbledon. i'm not really sure how i feel about dog races either...i wonder if the dogs are really happy? they do like chasing things (as damon pointed out) but do they like running around in a circle? do they know that they're competing against each other? and they look so skinny, they're the sad supermodels of dogs :( i did place a couple of bets, but i didn't win. i came home fairly early because i'm still all plugged up with sinusitis, and the mysterious back pain continues as well.

at least i have a week off now (sort of) so hopefully i'll have time to recuperate and feel better before going back to uni.
