Normality Returns

For the past couple of years things have felt uncomfortable, not quite right. England had won the Rugby World Cup, the Ashes and Birmingham City (the team I follow) were in the Premiership. Dizzy times indeed.

Things now seem to have returned to their natural state;
* England will struggle against the might of Italy in the Six Nations
* the 'English' cricket team - complete with Australians, South Africans and Welshmen - have yet to bowl the Aussies out
* Birmingham City are battling for promotion in division 2 - the notion of calling it 'The Championship' is just wrong - and are being held off by Cardiff and Preston (the football club, not Mr Chantelle!) I'm already sensing a plucky playoff defeat in a penalty shootout

All of this makes me feel strangely warmed.
