England won???

México had been eliminated, Scotland and Ireland weren't there, and somehow England scraped through to the Quarter Finals in the sudden death penalty shootout. I feel a bit sicker than usual after that excitement.

This is a trailing ivy leaved pelargonium outside the cabin. We both love the colour. I don't think the blurring-in-a-circle has really worked.

What else happened? The heatwave continues. We are preparing for the whole-school play next week. Nursery children don't tolerate hanging around waiting for things to happen...

Today was the last Regency class. I had said I couldn't return to the WEA class next term because my working hours will change after half term, but the tutor says we can come to an arrangement. That's handy, because I am branch secretary and also it's poetry and art, AND I've been attending for six years.

I'm sure there are things I should be doing, but what with all this heat, and football, and general lassitude, I'll probably just go to bed and read more about the Dandelion Years at Bletchley Park.
