I have only come back into the house for something to eat.
It's been sunny and warm all day, and it's still warmer
outside than inside the house. I don't believe what the
outside temperature sensor says, but the inside one says 24.6
degrees C.

I spoke too soon. There was an ominous rumble a few minutes ago,
so I scurried out to take in certain items of garden gear. It
has just begun to rain and looks as if it will be heavy. Outside
temperature has plummeted suddenly, probably because the rain
has hit the sensor.

Another spectacularly gorgeous day in South Devon Anne. Just
delightful weather!

Oh, it was spectacularly gorgeous here most of the day, thought
there was too strong a crosswind for gliding :-( Just that one
heavy shower in the evening, too late to be any sort of
inconvenience.

England are rubbish Col they are flattered by the foriegn players in the
premiership. The Germans don't have the situation where their league is
full of non-German players whilst ours is due to the money involved, Our
national side is in terminal decline.

I think it is too easy to use the foreign infux of players as a scapegoat.
Remember in the 1970s when we failed to qualify for two consecutive
World Cups?

And didn't need to qualify for the previous two! Pretty poor record, if you
ask me.

[Someone may like to correct me on this one, but I THINK Scotland had
qualified for more World Cups than England prior to 1994.]

It was only a matter of time anyway. England did themselves no favours
by finishing runners up in the group stages and leaving themselves with
arguably the hardest lineup possible in the knockout stages. If they had
beat Germany they would then have Argentina, and then, most likely,
Brazil. I think repeatedly playing teams of that calibre would just sap
the strength of the England side, even if they were on best form. If
they had come top in their group they would have had a much easier
lineup and it wouldn't have started to get really tricky until the semi's.

Seconded!

The temperature hit 30.2C overnight indoors and it's fallen - reluctantly -
to 26.9C now.

Now you're assuming that because I live in Scotland I'm Scottish. I'm
English through and through. My mother, researching our family tree,
became SO excited when she discovered that one of her
great-grandparents came "from up north" (i.e. Leicester).

I am distraught about the football, but not surprised, and it wasn't as
upsetting as, say 1990, and nowhere near as bad as 1970, when as a
young boy I was reduced to tears.

Not been too bad here, in that respect - minima no higher than 13C for
the past several days.

Have a cold bath, lie on bed naked in star shape, and fan blowing over
you. No this is not a strange mason ritual. ;-) Just my way of getting
to sleep on hot nights.

Not many foreign players there, unless you count those from the other
home nations.
I don't know what is going wrong. We have the talent, you can see that
in the Premiership every week, just when they get together as a team it
all seems to go wrong on the big stage.
And even more remarkably, this is a team that swept all before them in
qualification, winning 9 out of 10 games and only losing when they
had already qualified.

Boy oh boy, are the press goning to have a field day tomorrow
morning....

Yes I know OT but Col started it.

True, but at least I provided a snippet of weather information!
And I have now changed the subject line accordingly.....
