At last an opportunity to get on to PB - we have been to the city twice in the last three days for orchestral concerts which have been put on by the BBC and so are free - and they have been fantastic - one devoted to the works of Richard Strauss who was born 150 years ago this week. It is wonderful to be in totally full hall (well it was free) - and a fantastic orchestra. We go on the train and do some shopping and also have lunch - so it is a day out - but you never get other things done.
The bad side this week was to spend a lot (and I mean a lot) of money to get my car able to pass the annual MOT test - it looks like I may have to look around once it is through - although I would be loathe to part with it - still there are things which are going wrong.
And Spain lost to Holland in the World Cup 5 - 1 last night - Spain beat them in the final four years ago - and looked a team on the decline. There is Was wearing my Spanish shirt - and had sent some to the boy grandchildren - but the six year old was not happy about wearing his for soccer this morning - he like to represent winners. So he will never wear an England shirt. The Italy-Engand match starts at 11 pm this evening - I think I shall watch he first half and see the way the wind is blowing. Lots of excuses for England, heat, humidity and pitch!
What - not interested in the World Cup? I don't blame you - with all the hype and chicanery - but when there are goals like last night then it is a great game. Watch this!!! https://sports.yahoo.com/news/robin-van-persie-wonder-goal--a-picture-of-perfection-232628076.html
Almost as satisfying as sex - for those who are getting some.

The game against Spain was a BLOOD BATH. I loved it- I am totally against Spain lol And Robben totally rocked for Holland, that guy is gonna be worth so much money after the World Cup, people here already speak how lucky FC Bayern is to have Robben with them.
I hate that every year I want to avoid watching the games, and then I just get sucked right into it again. tsp, tsk.

Robben made up for four years ago - and Holland didn't try to kick them out of the game - van Persie is now the Flying Dutchman - I am with you on how you get drawn in

There's only one reason I watch the world cup and let me tell you it isn't for the goals! The team that takes their shirts off the most are my winners ; )
