Alas the sportsball people came second.

Darth, I actually watched the game at my BrotherB' s house with BrotherR and my nephew. I took over some cherries and a couple of mangoes that we shared. (After living the good life and eating incredible meals by the "Queen of the Kitchen " - our good friend @Lynn49 I have a few pounds to lose!) I can't imagine how fit they must be to run around like that for so long. I was wearing my UK scarf but it didn't bring us luck. Back to the drawing board.

I found yet some more tar in between Tootie's toes. So, I set up the "Dove De-tarring" station in the bathroom and lured her in with some beef treats. Poor little beggar! But I think everything is OK now.

I got some shopping for cleaning stuff for my cleaning helper done, deposited some money in the bank,
Cleaned up the kitchen, made supper, did a test clean on a stain on the floor with the recommendation of the Uber driver and my friend who babysit dogs and has to regularly clean up little stains.

I booked a new wedding in September and went over a "to do" list with BrotherR. I finished unpacking and "squirreled " away some pieces of fabric that I picked up, thanks to @Lynn49 's eagle eyes, at one of the shops we "raided" on our run around Val Caron.

I have a little follow-up gift to mail to my grand-daughter with bits and bats but also, a raw ruby that I picked up in Victoria. Her birthstone is a ruby.

You should have seen the birthday cupcakes that @Lynn49 took up to the camp-complete with all the ingredients and equipment to ice them there. This is one dedicated baker! I tell you, they disappeared in an instant at the party. With much licking of lips!

Well, I am going to hit the sack.

Between Croatia and France- I really don't have a preference. Can someone help convince me?

Good morning everyone
Another hot(ish) one today.

Only one more day until the weekend graces us with its presences...
Looks like tomorrow is the 13th...hmmmmmmm....

Have a wonderful day folks!

[walkonby]

oh dear! I forgot all about that Friday the 13th stuff. DUCK!!! ha ha
Such a tough loss for England, but Croatia has never been that far before so good on them!
The showdown is on Sunday against France, hope it ends in regulation time and NOT extra time or the dreaded shootouts.

The last few days have been very lazy and quiet, you know..... retiree speed.
No big plans for us this w/e, very grateful I do not live anywhere near that noisy Indy race location.
Another " sport " I just don't get. Those James Hinchcliff ads made me somewhat amused a while back but that is about it....lol.

Hoping everyone stays cool today ( indoors with the A/C on if at all possible ) I am facing a dreaded task today....trying to clean the green guck outa the fish tank without killing all the fish. Bought a plecostomus a while back hoping he would be the one to keep the tank sparkling but perhaps he is a retired fish with nothing to prove anymore?

As to Croatia and France, my choice is Croatia...first time in a final game and it would pi$$ russia off SO MUCH if they won!! hahaha!!
