Footballing prowess
Jelly Bean and I were very dedicated patriots this morning, getting up before eight to watch England's opening match in the World Cup. Now I might have done some football reporting in the past, but am not going to attempt to analyse the game, suffice to say that some of the best kicking of the 90 minutes was done by Bean. When I spoke with Fairy Godmother after the match, she joked that our baby might be born with football boots and after today's performance, I wouldn't be that surprised. JB woke up almost at the whistle and proceeded to welly me pretty constantly for most of the first half. And almost at the moment when he/she stopped kicking, England's game started going down hill rapidly. It was pretty funny.

If you want to come over for tea and sympathy later let us know.
And yes, lacklustre England. Adelante Ecuador!

I went out to stock up on essential provisions on Saturday morning with the rest of England- those who hadn't invaded Germany. Everyone was frantic, trying to get everything done before kick-off time. Every male fron 1 - 99 was sporting red and white shirts. Every big boy (wrinkled and beer-bellied) was loading cartons of beer into car boots. I watched the match and felt completely underwhelmed. According to Peruvian TV reports we're all hooligans and the National Anthem is our chant (?)
Please Senor Hals, can I come and have tea and sympathy too?
