On the train to Manchester on Tuesday I got an email from Eastern Airways cancelling my flights, a vindication of my decision to go by train. I was offered a refund or flight change; naturally I went for the refund, almost covering my train fare.

Friday back to work. Then Spain v Finland and Germany v Denmark on telly. In between the matches Louise, an old pal, messaged me for a catch up chat. She asked me to join her at a picnic next afternoon.
So yesterday I went to the appointed venue, Nicholson Gardens…to find the place locked and no one there. I texted Louise and she got back to me 20 minutes later with her apologies, saying the venue had been changed to Stokes Bay and she’d only just found out. So I made my way out to the beach and found Louise and her group. We sat on folding chairs - until the couple who owned the folding chairs said goodbye and that they were heading back to Portsmouth, then we had to move to a blanket - and had a long catch up.
Back home for Portugal v Switzerland.
