rooting for the home teams



Detail of a  lei with the colors of the German flag: red, black and yellow.
 Red and yellow are the colors of the  Spanish flag.

The World Cup has kept me busy and  away from blogging. Besides that, my home turned into a youth hostel for the past 10 days hosting college backpackers (either friends' college kids or else friends' kids' friends...), but two at a time at the most. Fun times keeping me away from the computer . On top of all that, the local telephone company reported a major issue which left us without phones and internet for two whole days!  I  was not amused... The World Cup continues but there are only 3 matches left. I am rooting for Germany and Spain, so I will have a tough day on Wednesday when the two teams face each other...more tv days. Did you watch Rafael Nadal win Wimbledon yesterday?? And when the world cup is over, there is still the Tour de France to watch!

  8. I had the Tour de France in front of my nose so to speak ! Traffic broke down. Today it's in Nivelles which is 18 km from Waterloo. My friend could see them from her street if she had wanted! It's terrible, balls and bikes !
    I like when my house is full with youngsters, then it's real fun, were these friends of your son ? I will probably know on wednesday if it will be a boy or a girl. Love your yellow flower !
    I don't even know if the Italians had played, lol !

  14. This is just beautiful. Love it. I've never watched the Tour de France but I think I might have to see it. The World Cup got me fascinated in things I don't watch very much. Love this photo my friend. Have a great week ahead :)
