I was fast asleep well before 10pm and when I woke up at 6am this morning I knew we’d lost as I was sure if we’d won the cheering from my neighbours would have woken me or fireworks.

I loved the photos of Prince George I saw today of his excitement when England scored.

I’ll join the “not into sports group” please. I do like Ski Sunday but that’s about it.

I played cricket and football until I suffered a bad knee injury when I was about 18. As a youngster we used to go with Dad and Mum to watch County Cricket matches which I enjoyed and on alternate weekends to Bristol to the City and to the Rovers when they were in the old second division with Dad.
I loved listening to Test Match Special on the steam radio especially when John Arlott was the commentator, and that classic comment by Brian Johnston I think when England were playing WIndies "And the bowlers Holding, the batsmans Willey".
But I do not like watching Match of the Day these days as there is too much yak and analytical pontification from the experts.
Sad old man really.

I will have to get mine out and ready.
Do you know a dweil is in Flemish a very large floor cloth, wrung out in hot soapy water ,draped over a trekker ( Big long handled squeegee) and used
to clean the acres of tiled flooring in Belgian homes .
It is my last one ,only had it since 1976 when we came back from Belgium.
Been saving it for the championships.
