Easy like Sunday afternoon

A nice civilised time we had of it today, up about 10:30 for me (Stef had been woken earlier by some noise on the marshes - sometimes it's a plus having less than perfect hearing). Then out to buy the paper, faff a bit, and then a leisurely few hours' cycle ride around Walthamstow to judge the prettiness or otherwise of houses, a quick pint in a Polish bar, and then home for the footie. I started off supporting Germany, since I feel I have more connections to there than to Spain, but it really would have been a travesty if they'd won, so I was happy with the result, which was a bit of a fairy tale for the Spanish and, indeed, their manager, who's retiring.

A jolly nice, relaxed day.

There are Polish bars here? Where?

It's on the west side of St. James's St., just south of the station. It's called something like "Mr. Happy" or similar - I wasn't paying too much attention. If you like borscht and potato & cheese dumplings you'll eat well there too.

...I know where I'm going for food the next time I'm in Walthamstow. NYOM.

I thought the Spanish side did a lot more fouling and diving, though...

Really? I thought it was pretty even on that score, actually. By which I mean the Germans are not usually known for their fouling, but they did a fair bit of it tonight, and the Spanish did less than I'd expected. On the whole, I thought it was a pretty positive match.

Sounds like a wonderful Sunday! Mine has mostly consisted of, er, sleep. Till 7pm. [blush]
