We are in our pj’s on the bed, tv on already! We’ve eaten our tea and are ssettled, ready. I’ve got a rosé wine poured it’s on my bedside table. We know how to live!

I’ve just peered over the balcony. The main road is empty! One lone cyclist, then a taxi passed. That’s the sum of traffic right now in usually busy Urmston. It’s like a ghost town …. So quiet! The bars up the road will be buzzing, just not the one below us as they don’t have TV screens and closed early to let their staff go to enjoy the game. Himself told me most of the bars are ‘ticket only’ tonight as on NYE!

What are YOU doing?

C’mon England!

There will be no fine to pay if Lamine Yamel stops playing at 11 pm. Be interesting if Spain take him off to avoid the fine.

Hope you enjoyed your meal V3ra

Lovely, thank you. Currently enjoying mango kulfi for dessert 😋
The music's gone off now, commentary (in Spanish) on.
Customers are roughly 50:50 but the English are noisier 😬
The Indian waiters are carefully neutral 😂

Maybee you need to keep walking sad

crazyH Sun 14-Jul-24 21:48:54

Btw, mango kulfi is one of my all -time favourites. I’ve also got a tin of mango pulp in my cupboard. Might open it now and a couple of spoonfuls 😋

The fireworks have started. The party here on the Costa Blanca is just starting. I'm off to bed.smile

Oh dear another loss.

Rekarie Sun 14-Jul-24 21:58:22

Fabulous. I mean I did want England to win. However I placed a small bet on Spain and Alcaraz to win. So I'm now waiting for financial advice on how to spend my £22.
