I just cycled back from the shopping centre, which is stuffed full
with people stocking up for the match, apparently under some illusion
that they might even manage to get their cars out of the car park
before the match starts, never mind home. They haven't even seen the
roads yet, gridlocked with drivers also thinking they might get home
for the match. The irony is I got home on a bike very quickly, but
certainly won't be wasting such a wonderful Saturday afternoon in
front of a telly.

I've just had a happy thought - it's not being played at Headingley!

Or even England.

Many years ago it might have qualified for being called a "beautiful game",
but sadly those days have long gone, when people used to play for the fun of

Not that I was every interested, even in those days.

Yes, that was me. You do not need to get the strimmer out to annoy me. I did
that myself by getting up to go to work. I had travelled 5 miles before I
realised it was Sunday and put the quiet roads down to school holidays. Time
to clear up the bottles and take away wrapppers up I think.

In fact, although I expected that to happen, it didn't. I understand there

Spouse has finished the bread oven but there are a couple of sharp edged

England are the team least likely to convince anyone that the game is
beautiful. Over hyped, over trained, over anxious and, as usual in these
competitions, overheated.
Was jumping into an ice bath after the match a good idea? I guess with
all the experts they have on hand heat management must be on the agenda,
but I wouldn't bet on it.
