With Italy winning by three points and barely more than 20 minutes to go, I had to leave watching the game to go three houses away to tutor my youngest nephew for his upcoming English GCSE. Bro, who'd been with me all afternoon, continued watching and texted me the final score which didn't surprise, but did disappoint - but oh my , Italy how you have grown!  

JJ and I worked on Dicken's 'A Christmas Carol' for a couple of hours before returning home to spend a quiet evening with Netflix whilst sorting more of mum's  library of piano music. Some of the older scores are finding their way to my 'resources box' for future collage work, some will be recycled and some of course I'm keeping to play, or for other reasons.
