Hospital Visit and Village Riots

Just another hot day here in Mainz, I don't know if it reached the 30s again today, but it sure was hot out there !!
And here I am in the computer room writing my diary :(

Hospital Visit
Well there had to be a downside to working in an electron-accelerator during my year abroad. Yes, that's right, they have to test me for radiation (leaks?).
Put off until a month before my contract expires I could avoid it no longer.
The way to the hospital was made more comfortable by the kind assistance of two attractive medical students who showed me where to go. On the map, the building I was looking for was straight ahead, however I was informed by the aforementioned samaritans that the building we were looking at was for people with contagious diseases and anyone entering would not be allowed out. Not the most comforting of things to be told when you first arrive !!
Luckily, the building I wanted was hidden around the back of the contagious one, so I was permitted to leave after they had finished with me :)
I will not go into all the details of what they did to / took from me, but suffice it to say that they can find out anything they want to about my recent history.
As a result I am not in a state to do my triathlon training tonight (what a pity!), so maybe I should go home and do some packing for my holiday (to be detailed before I leave).

Village Riots
Doing my regular visit to the news sites on the internet, I had just about finished my daily intake of UK happenings when an article jumped out and caught my eye like an Elianaian Handball player catches the ball.
Apparently, I have missed quite a lot of action this weekend. There have been some very violent racial riots in manchester (not too far away from birmingham), but what I didn't expect was the same in an innocent little town like Aylesbury !
Apparently I missed a very big party there. Let's just hope they finish it before I get back home.

Oh, just happened across this page. A bit of a refresher.
