I've come down with a nasty case of WORLD CUP FEVER! Come on Engerland! Go sports!
Actually I already cleared it, no need for me to go in to the office today. Which meant I could watch the whole of England's opening game against Croatia yesterday. Very good game, lively first half, two scored, two scored against. Harry Kane scored both one obvious penalty, saved, but then retaken and scored. One great header in from a corner. But a frustrating draw at half time. There must have been quite some team talk because they were amazing in the second half, there was one period that was an absolute batttery 1, the Croatian keeper had to save so many. So a lovely way to start, four two up.
BBC ranks England second best team in the tournament now, France doing better, Argentina close. In the house in various sweepstakes we Netherlands, Mexico, and Japan at twelve, thirteen, and fourteen, plus Portugal. Everyone thought they were the team most likely but a draw against DR Congo (not a real doctor) puts them at twenty-one for now.
That should be England's hardest group game out of the way. It's coming home.
Everyone tired today of course, that match didn't finish until two hours after my bedtime. T1 sleeping late, he doesn't have an exam until this afternoon. I offered T2 a lift and he said yes. He never says yes! But if we'd planned this yesterday, we could have had an hour's lie in. Yesterday he definitely would have said no though.
I slept well I think, had a very vivid and long running dream that is just out of reach now. I think it was about pubs, different pubs having different new landlords. Weird, as per.
Some work being irritatingly blocked by someone at work at the moment, hoping that they just don't understand it, will try and sort it out today. Looks to be a good piece of work to speed everything up to me. Pay day tomorrow and not had to commute in, so all is good.
Foggy out there now. Yesterday started a bit grey too, it's supposed to be very hot later.
Light rain and a gentle breeze, 15 - 22℃.
