Italy played dirty for the last 15 minutes last night, lots of rolling about to waste time.
I think they are now the villains of the piece.

My book arrived!
It is the book on Satan. A replacement book for the one that got lost. Only it’s a second hand one and I’m sure I ordered it new.
The Great Deceiver at work. I should have known…

Books.
I haven't started the Satan one yet but I did read a book they are always banging on about in the Guardian, which is called 'Brexitland'. Its core argument seems to be that we are all fucked and in fact have been fucked for decades, but we just didn't realise it before. 4 stars.
I also read a book called 'Bits and Pieces', which is a history of music in computer games. A lot of Spectrum, C64 and Amiga chat. 4 stars.

I’m hoping that “Ukran’t be serious!” gets used in tonight’s footie-ball commentary.
Of course, I shan’t be tuning in. Got me a date with Hobbs & Shaw!

My beer of choice to cheer on my Danish players is a Kentish ale, a proper starköl. I think Kent is neutral enough not to offend my forward Patrik Schick. In any case, I've told him that I've been shilling for Budvar recently.

Shilling for Budvar has paid off.

I purchased some beers to drink.
Three from the good country of Belgium, and two from Great Britain’s proud capital - London. The greatest city on earth.
I have also ordered a take-away…

I don’t really think London’s the greatest city on earth. I went out today and the streets were like Old Yharman, but with the sun out …

There's just been an enormous, menacing thunderclap here over Birmingham, followed by some low rumbling. That's not at all ominous for the England team. Not at all.
What's Mr Tiddles's cat's prediction?

Oh, dear. Monsoon season* is in full swing again and has put a stop to the neighbours' enjoyment of their garden.
*Edit: now with added hail. Doesn't look as if Brum is going to make it through to kickoff. Carry on without us.
