What a week!

This is going to be a very interesting week, on so many levels. In fact the next three days each have something profound to offer in one way or another.

Tomorrow's probably the least important one in terms of the impact it will have, but in its own way it's a massive event: Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester City face one another in the Premier League, in their penultimate game of the season. At present Spurs are one point ahead of City and both teams are fighting it out for the all-important fourth place. For the uninitiated, finishing fourth puts a team in the lucrative Champions' League competition next season; the fifth placed team will still have a place in Europe, but in the less prestigious Europa League.

Tottenham have been hanging on to the fourth spot for most of the season, albeit with Man City having a game in hand for much of that time. If Spurs win tomorrow evening, they will have sealed Fourth spot; any other result and things will go down to the final matches of the season on Sunday, when Spurs visit Burnley and Man City go to West Ham. But tomorrow's match takes place in the City of Manchester Stadium, so it won't be an easy match for Spurs. If things do go down to the final game, then in theory it should be easier for Spurs to beat Burnley than for Man City to beat West Ham - but as the cliché goes, nothing's certain in football.

Uncertainty is rife this week! On Thursday we of course have the general election, and it's probably the closest and most exciting one we've had for many years. I've already voted (I have a postal vote) but as I live in a marginal constituency I'll be keeping a close eye on local developments as well as the national picture.

Then there's Friday. It's not confirmed yet, but that could be the day when I get interviewed for... well, for the job I'm doing now, but potentially on the salary of the job I used to have. Things are far from certain and obviously there's a lot I'm not going to say in a public blog (at least, not yet) - but hopefully over the next few weeks things will become clearer. One thing that is certain is that there's no such thing as a secure job in the 21st century!
