So far this week we have had one success and one failure on the holiday front.
Success was a booking for a week in the Autumn at The Borrowdale Gates. Hooray.
The failure was an attempt to book a break in Bruge for 4 days, by Euro Star, with a company that offered a day trip to Ypres as part of the holiday. Unfortunately they could not take a booking that allowed us to travel from Ebbs Fleet. Going from St. Pancras for us is such a trial, as we would have to leave our car for the duration in the car park at Micheldever, which is incredibly small.
Anyway. We will continue to work on this.
The other news is that my cooker has packed up. We have chosen a new Bosch model, but it can not be delivered and installed until next Thursday. Shucks we shall just have to eat out more. Today the White Swan in Barton Stacey did us proud.

Dracula Rides Again
Well what do you know? The teeth are out again. Or not if you believe the Uraguan press.
What a lot of words and hot air have been generated, all because a footballer can not keep his teeth in his mouth.
I would have said after watching the game and seeing the footage replay of the incident that is was conclusive. The press however in Uruguay, would have you believe, that the footage was photoshopped. According to them both England and Italy have got it in for Mr Suarez
In today's Guardian there were lots of English pundits making comment on what their thoughts on the whole saga were. What I was interested in was the comments from the world's media.
"Has Suarez finally bitten off more than he can chew". Spain.
"The return of Dracula. Suarez is worse than Tyson". Italy
"The tooth of God". Belgium
"A crazy biting attack from footballs vampire. ". Germany
"Incredible, Cannibal Suarez bites Chiellini". Switzerland
" Suarez fell on his opponents shoulder like an eagle on his prey. And bit him". Belgium
"Cannibal Suarez strikes again". Netherlands
Maybe the press in Uraguay need to see what their fellow world workers made of the incident..
Personally I would ban him for life from all levels of the game, it is the third time it has happened, and probably would not be the last. The man clearly has a problem, and is in need of some anger management help.

Footie
I'm really enjoying the World Cup. The only thing that bothers me is the unnecessary violence.
Many of the tackles are very little to do with attempting to get the ball, more. To do with taking out the opposition, caring very little about the injuries sustained by the recipient.
I have watched so many men carried off the pitch, and all the guy gets is a yellow card. Come on refs, show a bit of guts and start issuing a few reds. At least that might make managers and players alike sit up and take notice.
Having said that the whole tournament seems to be well run, with very little crowd problems.
Well let's hope England can make a real go of it tomorrow.
So far I'm backing the Dutch.!
