World Cup Quarter Finals – ENGLAND 2, Sweden 0!

I'm spending the weekend caring for mother, whilst Vivien has a couple of days off. The weather is insanely hot here and mother's house is also unusually warm, its usually the best place to be when there is a heatwave – goodness knows what my house must have been like in King's Lynn today!

Due to the intense heat last night, I hardly slept a wink and neither mother or I were in the best of moods when we finally got up! Out of desperation I purchased a Ferretti Fan today from Hughes in Hunstanton – its a noisy metal fan, but it was the 'coolest' one they sold. My mother is having her leg re-bandaged every other day by a District Nurse as it is weeping the entire time and this results in the washing machine going on daily and lots of mopping up, changing of socks etc etc.

After having late breakfast and lunch, we just about managed to get settled down in front of the TV by 2.58pm ready for the England/Sweden World Cup Quarter Final match at 3pm. I didn't dare to believe until the last 5 minutes that England had secured a place in the semi-finals of the World Cup!!! WOW!

ENGLAND 2, Sweden 0!!!

Croatia beat Russia 4-3 on penalties in their quarter final match this evening which means:

England play Croatia at 7pm
Wednesday 11th July!

SEMI-FINALS – WORLD CUP!
