I find myself having a bagel and coffee for breakfast and watching football. At just after 2am.

My wife and daughter had to leave early for a short holiday they’re taking together so I thought I’d watch the Women’s World Cup USA v Vietnam match. I’ll also be watching England v Haiti later ⚽️

It’s Saint Swithun’s Day. It’s raining heavily. It’s very windy. We’ve had two power cuts already. Doesn’t bode well ☂️
