Such Stuff As Dreams Are Made On.

Tomorrow is the feast day of Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary - we wish our Catholic readers a good day. This feast day is known as Dormition of the Theotokos, by the Orthodox traditions - a good feast to any readers from those denominations.

Not an awful lot of updates for you tonight I'm afraid. Just as well there was a fair bit yesterday.

The heat-wave is well and truly over - it chucked it down today (translation: there was heavy rainfall) I got soaked through to the skin. But it was still a good day - England beat Scotland (football) and that's brilliant!! Beating the Sweaties is better than beating the Germans. (Mainly because we almost never beat the Germans - they're too bloody good - but we often beat the Scots *g*.) Apologies to any Scottish readers who are football fans - but you have to admit, if you'd won you'd be dancing in the streets, wouldn't you.

Funny old game, football, you suddenly turn into an idiot, insulting people you like, making rude remarks about nationalities you like, just because they support a different team. Strange. Tribal. Daft. But still... it's football!! As Liverpool's famous manager Bill Shankly once said, "Some people believe football is a matter of life and death, I am very disappointed with that attitude. I can assure you it is much, much more important than that".

Pleased for Rickie Lambert - glad he got his goal, glad his dreams came true. He went from being told by Liverpool that he had no future in football and finding work in a beetroot pickling factory, to playing in the Premiership and for his country.

Just goes to show - never give up on your dreams.

Not a lot else to say really. See you next week, goodnight and may your God/s go with you.
