Pfegh, that match bloody awful to watch.

My cauliflower soup, sausage sandwich and apple crumble & custard was MUCH better. Actually, the crumble was bloody lovely, made with a mix of Bramley apples from my garden and New Rock Pippins from the community orchard.

Not as nice as mine I bet....

Crumble + oats...

Apples, raisins and a dash of cinnamon..🍿🤔

I'm being more phlegmatic than pfegh - England played a game of chess, too thoughtful for their best game, and couldn't then up the tempo for the flowing moves against a disciplined USA. But not a defeat and now in a strong position to progress. (Yes, frustrating to watch as a spectacle.)

Was a lot like the Scotland game in the Euros.

The upsides was that a point was had, but man, that was slow and ponderous. Glaciers move quicker...

Despite the best efforts of Greater Anglia and LNER to ruin my travel plans (of the 6 trains scheduled, three were late running and one was cancelled) I still managed to get to and from Leeds on time and had a bloody good time away. Just one more long distance trip to come this year and that's on Monday.

Given the weather of recently, I wasn't surprised to see Welney Washes under quite a decent covering of water having been completely dry just a week or two ago.

The road's still not flooded yet. Signs were still off when I went to Littleport yesterday. They have made improvements on the causeway between Golds Hill and Welney proper though...

I think the USA played well. Probably deserved to win.
England played with their now familiar lack of drive and ambition.

Just got back from my first pub night out since last February.

Just bought the parental's cake day pressie. And I picked out a piece of Derek Warwick memorabilia for myself.

I couldn't get a taxi as they won't accept dogs, so the nice landlord ran me home.
