Never have I seen so many St.Georges flags flutter away around the Uk. The World Cup starts here, today and the entire nation is gripped by footy fever. Today I predict that most workplaces will be empty come lunchtime as the first game kicks off (Germany vs Costa Rica) and pubs will be packed out. Morso on Saturday as England go up against Paraguay. For just over a month with 64 games being played, football fans worldwide will be united by this one event. I feel so proud to see the flags flying everywhere, I really do. I just hope England’s squad reach the finals and win it for once - something I’ve wanted to see since I was a child, to see British hands lift that trophy…
One good thing has been the weather over here lately, HOT! Doesn’t describe it - I walked into my labs yesterday morning only to see the digital readout on my desk at a stonking 34°c/93F! It had hit 38°c/100F by the evening!
Yesterday was the hottest day in the Uk so far this year and as a person who rarely feels the heat on his skin, I felt it yesterday! Today I will be travelling to London on work matters for a meeting and I’ve no idea how I’ll keep cool given the conditions lately. As I type this early in the morning, the sun has just risen behind me…it’s going to be one scorcher of a day.
