Whoooooooo, what a game of footy! That was great for the neutral to watch, really enjoyed that.

Morocco well-deserved winners IMHO.

Spain can play all the pretty fancy pants football they like, but if the team can't score, then what's the point.

I'm in the empty bit in the top left. I didn't hear the helicopter just coming onto the map.

Oh, that's what they are trying to do; I'd often wondered.

Considering each team seems to manage this about three times in 90 minutes on a good day, It all seems pretty inefficient.

Was having trouble finding some trex for baking Mrs 73 offered to get some as she past the supermarket near work.
She come home with 5 lots, told her I don't need that much , I didn't know how many you needed they don't go out of date till November next year so no need to worry she replied Bless

The cats have been fed, and soon it will be time to feed me.

Now sat down to watch Portugal v Switzerland.

That's exactly my line of thinking for stuff I always use that's got long shelf life.

I've noticed that the supply of solid fats (other than butter) can be a bit haphazard. Which reminds me, need to pick up a block of crisp 'n dry next time I do a full grocery shop. I mix it half & half with beef dripping in my deep fat fryer.

Gritters are out and spraying salt around so must be expecting a cold night

You were busy floating eastwards in the hot air balloon.

Crispy noodles and chicken wings as i see Swirzerland getting deep fried ... oh dear.

 

[deptfordmarmoset]

It's a bad day to be half-Swiss. Still, it's even worse for the fully-Swiss.

 

[Grant Fondo]

Aye, didn't see this being a drubbing ... still 6-1 is 6-1.

 

[Reynard]

Urgh, that was painful to watch...

Hard to put that Portugal performance into context given that there were more holes in that Swiss defence than in a wheel of Emmentaler cheese... Yet the commentators (same as last night) are waxing lyrical. I'd be more cautious, they haven't really been tested yet.

Bitsas supper tonight. Soup, then the last of the ham hock in parsley sauce, a small dollop of mash, some roast tomatoes and the last slice of frittata. Good to see all the leftovers eaten.

In other post-related news there is still no news. This 48-hour tracked parcel has now taken 96 hours to not get here.

I've something similar going on. Package dispatched from Dublin, last Wednesday, sent to Germany via EMA cargo hub. Dispatched from Germany last Friday to me. Now just waiting on it getting here.

This postage was extra, but I didn't realise the trip I was sending it on.
