Preparing to go to Europe: maybe

Up early, not to take Ottawacker Jr to football – although his somewhat miraculous recovery means he has gone – but to watch Liverpool draw 1-1 with Manchester City. City were possibly just the better side, but a draw from a 12:30 kick off at the Etihad isn’t to be sneezed at.

Day spent busily and expensively, booking flights to Málaga, train rides back up to Nîmes and Lyon, and some accommodation via booking.com.
