I'm off to see granddaughter play football this morning. First match I've been allowed to go to for ages!!

That's going to be far more enjoyable than last night's international!

Meanwhile, mug no. 2 under way.

I watched the last ten minutes.At least it is only ten minutes of my life I won’t get back

And there'll be goals!

Usually one either end.

Me too I think. I tried leaving it till later yesterday and it just doesn’t happen. I like my early mornings. Just a hybrid tootle I think as it has mudguards as there is rain in the offing.

Well back now and didn't bump into @Mo1959 on my 57 miles

That's because I only did 30. Lol. ....and it did rain, so I was glad of my mudguards. I don't do the cold, wet, mucky stripe up your back thing!

I also had rain but luckily guards fitted

I got back from Amble in time to watch the last thirty mins.It was described as like watching paint dry.I wish to refute that statement,after paint has dried you get a good finish,England did not get a good finish.

The postman's just been. Not you, @postman, though you have just posted. I think that should clear up any confusion.

Glad I went to bed early rather than watch the footie, friends said how bad it was on out whatsapp group. Sun and cloud in North Wales, so just finishing my second coffee before 30 miles or so on the road bike exploring some of the lanes round here. Only down side is the first three miles are all up hill !

We watched part of a 1959 re make of The 39 Steps with Kenneth More in it . It took a while to get into it as we had missed the first half. I found one bit quite interesting where he joined some Wheelers. I was trying to identify some of the bikes used in the film . I spotted a Raleigh but the rest of them seemed to go past too quickly. One bike's colour scheme looked like a Dawes Double Blue but I thought I could see red edging to the lettering .

There was a cheap remake of that film in 1970,due to savings it was named 35 Steps.It went straight to video and could be borrowed from you local off license.

On the up side the last 3 miles are all downhill.

You could carry out an experiment for next time by painting half of your TV screen with emulsion paint just prior to the match. That way you should be able to tell which looks better !
