Good Morning everyone from a blazingly sunshiney South of France.
So…..c’mon lovely people, start the day with a dance and let the good times roll. (It’s possibly today’s special offer, so you can’t refuse). (Little dance exercise for you provided separately!) If we all spread the pre-match good feeling, it might just work. You know, GranPower and all of that? I’m actually not a footie fan, only ever been to a couple of matches but did watch the 1966 match with great excitement on our black and white t.v. I can even remember the dress I was wearing! Bizarre. (The memory, not the dress!)
And my wish? Please, please, I hope that all the fans at the maybe most-watched Telly event in history, won’t think to boo the Anthems, won’t boo and whistle the other team, won’t fight, won’t jeer, and will try to show affection and pride and respect. Just show yourselves to be a great sporting nation and not a bunch of fighting drunks. Win or lose, the game’s the thing!
Help needed with this little tree. Before the flowers have gone, can any gardening Gran tell me the name? I thought it might be a Bird Cherry, but no. It smells nice, looks like a cross between Buddleia and Lilac, has lilac tree leaves, and appears at this time down here in gardens everywhere, especially formal public gardens. Does anyone here have a name for it? Non!
Loved your Golden Day stories, Gingster. Despite all - a great time was had by all. You need a group photograph with people wearing bandages, clutching brooms and buckets, fire extinguisher, etc., to jog the memory in future, perhaps?
??? is what I think of after your post, muse. Obviously time for a full engine service for you. Hope the leg is improving at least. Do you think that MrM was telling you, like Elvis, that ‘I don’t have a wooden heart’. ? ?
Lovely photos this morning. This side of the Channel - and more specifically at this house - we are hoping that euphoric pre-match excitement will turn into the greatest celebrations.
Whatever you’re all doing, please stay safe and enjoy your day.
Warm wishes and hugs to those in need. Thinking of you always, Panache. And, if you’re reading this - hugs to Urmston EV Taichinan and Pants and of course to Sheep and Cattle.

Grandmafrench my plant app has it as Ligustrum Lucidum, glossy privet.
Good day to you all from a hot and humid Algarve, not only that but someone has stolen my blue sky! I would suspect Grandmafrench but it sounds like there is sunshine to spare in her corner of the world. Anyone who wants a thick white blanket of cloud is welcome.
Yes we will be watching the match tonight. I didn’t see the 1966 one as I was out shopping for a dress for the afterparty that our football mad neighbours were holding. I did vaguely wonder why there were crowds of men round all the television shop windows intently studying the black and white TVs. We were more of a rugby household at the time.
I have very romantic memories of that party though.
DH watched and celebrated at the pub. 
and then went home to sleep off his celebrating. He only went to the party because his friends went and got him out of bed.
And the rest is history but as I told him the other day, “I could have been a WAG” as several professional footballers asked me out as well.
