Ready

Over in Brazil they might still be working on the stadiums (Why? Did it come as a surprise? Were they using some different calendar system?) but in this house, the necessary preparations are complete: hama-bead flags for all the participating countries.

Before the match, the kids stand the flags of the competing teams on either side of the tv, making sure to swap them over at half time of course - we're not amateurs. This year, with some new technology (lego) there may even be scores alongside the flags.

All this done with child labour I'm sorry to say.
