So after the mixed day of sporting results yesterday it was England's turn to lift the spirits. They took on Scotland at Twickenham in the Six Nations. Despite a brave fight by the Scots, England managed to produce a 22-16 win but it was tough going. This result means that if England win their final match against Ireland they will be crowned Six nations Champions and will also claim the Grand Slam. That would be a good omen for this year's Rugby Union World Cup.
As it was Sunday and there was no need to go out for anything I decided to spend the day firmly indoors. At least I would not have to put too much pressure on my broken toes by walking too far. For the majority of the day apart from watching the rugby union on BBC I was glued to the ongoing events in Japan and the surrounding area following the earthquake and tsunami. Reports say that a nuclear reactor is close to meltdown and there is threat now of the natural disaster being made even worse should the condition of the plant worsen. When I woke up the first morning after the initial earthquake there were reports of 40 dead and the toll rose to 100's by the next morning. Today the death toll is in the 1000's and is rising.
