After my morning visit to the Museum, I've just got time for the weekly supermarket sweep at Sainsburys before heading out to The Link to watch a football match between a local team of young people and the visiting Czech team who have come over with our Prague friends who attended my civic dinner last night.
There was a similar match this morning, which the Prague team won handsomely; but this afternoon with different teams the tables are turned and the English side wins 3:2. Marcela and Susan from Prague, and Karen from the Great Parndon Community Association, chat with me on the touchline. There's no mistaking the noise from the nearby bar when the rugby finishes and we hear the English side has thrashed the Aussies!
By the time the match is over at four o'clock, the weather has turned decidedly cold; it's been fun, but now I'm looking forward to cooking something simple, opening a bottle of wine, and settling down in front of the television to the first of the new series of Strictly Come Dancing.
