They think it's all over... it is now!

I'm going to start this evening by talking about the football, which I admit to not being into at all. Having deliberately avoided watching any world cup games thus far, I turned on the tv after my afternoon bath to see Ingerland struggling on with ten men for the last bit of extra time before, quelle surprise, losing on penalites. Whilst I am proud to be English and am staunchley patriotic about my country, I just cannot get into football at all. Rugby, on the other hand, is a very different matter, for starters there are more men on the pitch and they are generally (Gavin Henson aside) more manly and rugged and big and strong, and not the sort to spend more time than I do on their hair and fake tan. However the England goalie was quite fit, so it wasn't all bad.

I have spent today doing the very exciting job of weeding my lawn and other bits around the garden, my tomatoes are coming along nicely and I reckon they will be just about ready to eat in about a fortnight's time just when I'm off on holiday. The courgettes, peppers and chillis should take a big longer though so maybe I'll get to enjoy those. I'm growing melons too but not sure how they will turn out.

I think I will start putting some pictures in my blog as it's a bit dull, otherwise. Might try to put in something reasonably relevant to the content, so today's is a gratuitous picture of the fit England goalie. I found out from the England FA website that he is only 25. I feel like a predatory old woman. The picture upload tool didn't work yesterday so I'll have to go back and see if I can add something to my first entry.

Rather than continue in this rather mundane vein for the time being, I will direct you to a couple of video links which have made me laugh recently.

This one is a mash-up of gansta rap and children's TV which fits together strangely well:

And this one is for the amusement of watching Noel Edmonds quickly try and dig himself out of a hole... "gorgeous face"!
