Thoroughly enjoyed watching the opening match last night with my 8 year old footy mad grandson . And what a match it was too, 5-0 to the hosts Russia . The Saudis might not have been on the pitch at all .
Teresa May has stepped in to say that the Royal Mail workers and others should be allowed to fly the English flag during the tournament, after the misery guts at RM banned it’s workers from doing so. Quite right too .
I'm on holiday in Cornwall with The Wonderful Man and our youngest son - neither are particularly football fans, but, like the rest of the nation they are glued to the TV, I'm in another room where I can hear their cheers and groans; it's all too tense for me.
It's certainly bringing out the fun side in people. I saw this today. A young man bought tickets for tonight's match, totally forgetting today is his wedding day. If anyone would like to take his place, her name's Sarah and she'll be at St Matthews church at 4pm.
Uri Geller was on This Morning today. He told us all to send vibes 11 minutes before kick off as the number 11 is the key to winning He said the tournament is being held in 11 host cities, today is 11th of the month, England have scored 11 goals so far in the competition. Last time they scored 11 goals was in 1966 when they won, the 11th goal being scored 11 minutes into extra time. The 11th goal this time was scored by Deli who was born on the 11th of April. Uri's words not mine
I will be on a flight late this afternoon and will miss the first half ....... arghhh. I shall use this time to send England positive vibes from above ?♀️
Guess who’s gone and booked the theatre tonight? Well, I didn’t know, did I! We will just have to see what’s happening in the interval. The play had better be good.
