Lucky 7

This is my 7 year blip anniversary, although I actually started in Apr 2015, but for years I only blipped a few days a week. Given the Lionesses were playing Australia today, I was hoping it would be a lucky 7 and indeed it was! A very entertaining match with both sides playing well and many congratulations to the Lionesses getting through to their first World Cup final on Sunday - a great team performance. My first blip was of some paper crafting items, so for lucky 7 I thought I'd blip something similar, but with a games theme. I was originally hoping to go see the Red Arrows at Cromer, but it clashed with the football and then it was cancelled anyway this morning due to 'technical issues'.
