Smile, and the R smiles with you

I’m not a fan of football, as you know, but I have to say that even I am getting a bit swept up in all the feelgood vibes circulating around the England team and their achievements at the Euros. (or should it be Euro’s???)
Although not affected directly, I can fully appreciate the joy on the faces of my work colleagues, so I’m getting a nice lift of mood by osmosis (sort of).

I’m not sure how I feel about the whole “Freedom Day going ahead despite advice to the contrary” debate going on at the moment. You would have thought that an announcement from the Prime Minister that almost all restrictions will disappear mid-July would have us all dancing in the streets with joy, but I think we’re all a bit reluctant and uncertain.
Personally, I have the feeling that I’m on a bus that is being driven over a cliff, and while the experts on the bus are looking down and saying how bad the fall is going to be, the driver at the front is keeping his foot on the accelerator and telling everyone how lovely the view is.
But, what the Hell? I’m just going to follow the masses and go along in blind ignorance, hoping the vaccine programme will outrun the exploding number of infections.

A prediction for tonight’s ‘Big Game’? Oh, go on then – England 3-1 Denmark.
