Sigh ...

I went freelance so that I could avoid working until all hours ... At least I am paid for every minute I am there and cabcharges are thrown at me with cheer.

In further proof that the news has become as easy to predict as most American mainstream film plots, I offer the following.

Brammers on Saturday: That was a terrible accident! I'm relieved Massa looks as though he will be all right. I give it less than 48 hours before people are calling for Michael Schumacher to take the vacant drive.

Mr Brammers: *Starts stopwatch*

36 hours later ...

Mr Brammers: You win.

Just watched the sports news on a commercial channel here.

Sportscaster: In astonishing news, voices are calling for Michael Schumacher to return to Ferrari after Massa's shocking accident.

Mr Brammers: That's not news. Stumpy on the sofa broke that three days ago.

Brammers: *Raises moderately stumpy arms in victory*

IT'S TRUE! And he's not so bad off the track, just on it, his arse-factor is high ...

And YES, very scary accident. We missed qualifying, and I was actually relieved, because I would have been heart in mouth the whole time they were tending to him.

We saw it, though we were only watching with half an eye. It was very strange because at first you just see him plow into the tires. It took a little bit to even figure out what happened.

I haven't really been following the aftermath, though hubby has. Apparently Massa's blind in one eye and currently unable to talk? Still, lucky to be alive.

More that he can't see out of one eye at the moment. He can't talk properly yet regardless, as he's been in a medically induced coma for a couple of days. Having had a traumatic head injury, you haven't got a clue for much of the first week or so. I think it will be a little time before any permanent injury is known. Fingers crossed, but yes, being alive is a good starting point!
