For 4 Days I have Done Absolutley Nothing.

Well not nothing obviously. I've still been doing the tedious day to day things like cooking, eating and watching a lot of TV but I've not do anything of any consequence. Although deep down I know this unexpected period of peace and quiet is simply due to the snow and when it melts the Brits will be back in full force making my life difficult it has got me thinking that perhaps I should start doing something productive with my time. The only question though is what exactly?

Obviously it can't be anything that involves me interacting with my local community in any way. Nor can it require the consent or accreditation of the British state. Most importantly though it can't cost any money or require any expensive or specialist equipment. I suppose that just leaves learning for the sake of learning which can be quite good because knowledge, once given can never be taken away. With that in mind I am quite interested in resuming the language studies I started at school but because languages are simply the mechanisms that humans use to communicate with each other trying to learn a new language with no-one to talk to can be very difficult and just a little bit futile. Of course I could try and teach myself computer code which is a form of language but I don't really trust this computer and I can't really afford to buy a new one. I suppose that just leaves learning about ancient Roman and Greek mythology that would only really equip me to tell long and complicated allegory's for modern life that no-one around me would really understand. Somehow that quite appeals to me even if I have no idea where to start.

Anyway while I was pondering the conundrum of my newly found leisure time the national soccer team of Togo got ambushed on their way to the African Cup of Nations. As Togo is where the Detroit bomber went to school and the decision to travel by bus was a major breach of security protocol this seems to be an attempt to plunge the tournament into paranoid chaos by baiting a small, local rebel group. Given the convergence of tactics and objective I think it's fair to say that Togo enjoys quite a close relationship with Britain.
