Toby and Romy arrive
A happy day today, zooming about this morning tidying up (and being pinched and punched by Betty with no returns) before we collected Romy and Toby from Brighton Station. Wonderful to see them, and they both looked perky and well. Home for tea and long chats, before Lorraine drove us down to the sea at Hove. It had been sunny and warm in Brighton all day, but during the ten minute drive, a gale arrived and the sky grew threatening.
Blew the cobwebs away, as the family saying goes, and we got to crunch about on the pebbles for a bit sheltering by the side of a groyne. It made us all curiously hungry. So, home to gin and tonic and a large roast cooked by lovely Lorraine. Introduced Betty to Romy, and all settled down with the European Cup Final in the background, which the Tobster had been following in Canada.
Spain beat Italy 4-0 with a wonderful display of tiki-taka. But now football is over, actually I've had enough of it and all sport for a while. So down with the yawnfests of Wimbledon tennis and Olympic Narcissists running in circles and throwing things.
Lots of chats, and then an earlyish night, for Lorraine sadly had to get up at the crack of dawn for work. As a Lorraine watcher I notice that every year at this time she gets shattered as the end of the academic year approaches. Roll on our holiday!
