Fathers Day

Blueberry pancakes for breakfast, a DVD and some
books as gifts and then encouraged to watch World Cup
games with beer - I think I could get used to this.
Beter than most birthdays infact.
We were also given a very cool baby carrier from one of Amity's online buddies. Its very comfy and lets us get out of the house alot more without worrying about Millie screaming blue murder.
Anyway, back to Football. The World Cup is truly wonderful isn't it? A whole month of God's Own Game with every match live on TV. I'd actually forgotten what it's like to be in England and being caught up in the whole media frenzy. In 2002 i was forced to stay up until 2am or get up at 6am to catch a game. My beer consumption suffered. In 1998 i was busy sweeping young Amity off her feet in Germany and of course we didn't qualify in 1994 so its been 16 years years since I've been in the country whilst the tournament has been on.
England have made a shaky start but have won both their games, The US were thoroughly spanked by the Czechs in their opener but fought bravely against Italy to secure a draw having had 2 men sent off. Perhaps they'll make a movie about it.
Still a long way to go but maybe, just maybe the trophy will be coming back to its righful home.
