    I’m a bit mad. I watched the first half yesterday and thought, OK les Frogs haven’t bothered putting any effort in and this score is flattering England so I went back upstairs to continue with a floor install at halftime. Deschamps puts a rocket up their ***** at half time and it appears I...

    Apparently Tsimikas and Harvey Elliot are back in training too. There’s odd rumours about Darwin Nunez too since he’s not happy where he is right now. I always liked captain chaos.

    My sad day.

    What a beautiful boy. I’m sorry for your loss Mike.

    Enough of COVID...what are you doing to the house?

    Bit of a ***** to both click and lock but it's going ok. Dricore subfloor is pretty good. Doesn't squeak or bounce. Got a few ideas for transitions but I'm going to have to fab a few things up from scrap hardwood and my router. Sent from my SM-S938W using Tapatalk

    I don’t mind the shithousery to a certain extent. It’s very Vinnie Jonesish nostalgia and this particular tie has a lot of history and animosity and that makes the game a little more edgy. As a neutral a Spain-Argentina final should be great but having Trump have to hand over a trophy to the...

    Enough of COVID...what are you doing to the house?

    Going to make a start on doing a floor with LVP. The underlay is Dricore Insularmour that Scuba Steve posted about a while back when I asked a q. I have a few issues to overcome. The underlay is 1” thick. That will raise the floor such that it will be even with one transition to the main...

    Lots of blame on Tuchel but not a lot of commentary on how Kane and Bellingham didn’t turn up at all. They were mostly ghosts. Completely nullified. The England team's hardest matches prior to this were against teams thought to be much lower on the rung and they didn’t make things easy on...

    Carney planted more trees to burn. What a bastard.

    Leafs fans have hope. England fans have certainty that they will choke.

    That’s the thing, can’t go for a second goal if you’ve pulled off all your attacking talent and stuck on beanpole defenders. Sad waste. Can’t take anything away from Argentina though.

    Negative football gets punished. I hate seeing those kind of tactics in play so good riddance. If England carried on doing what they were doing in the first half they would have had a chance.

    Spain were pretty much perfect. The British commentator I was listening to said arguably 8 of the best players on the pitch were Spanish. What I liked was that they didn’t just close the door and shut up shop when they were ahead. They carried on playing for another goal for the most part...

    Anyone into gardening here?

    We had an established lilac bush die for no reason right at the start of the season and lilacs are hard to kill. No bugs, wasn’t water. No idea. Very strange.

    I skipped watching the game. I knew I wouldn’t like it. I read about the cable thing and saw the Norway goalkeepers reaction. There’s a whole bunch of very important goals being scored in this World Cup that are being chalked off or are scored under odd circumstances. Anyway, what’s done is...

    Anyone into gardening here?

    Some other vines are a bit more vigorous like honeysuckle or wisteria but they can become pests if they really get established. Also wisteria is poisonous for pets I think if that’s an issue. Clematis is pretty benign as it’s a lightweight vine. There’s also grape vines too. If you really...

    Is it your fence on the side that faces you? Does it get sun? Climbing roses and clematis?

    Enough of COVID...what are you doing to the house?

    I had older Briggs and Stratton engines on a snowblower and a lawnmower. They wouldn’t die. Planned obsolescence is a real thing and it’s a pretty awful strategy for the consumer but great for manufacturers. I like to go out of my way now to buy things that are built to last where I can...

    I like rides along the Severn. There’s a great little suspension bridge outside Campbellford I stop at usually. Visit the Ranney Gorge Suspension Bridge in Campbellford - Trent Hills Tourism
