farewell primary school
If I did have time, I would definitely tell you about Kiloh’s last day of primary school on Friday. Many tears during the leavers’ service and some fun memories from the kids. Followed by a really nice picnic in the park in the evening. Yet more tears. Kiloh and Anna gave each other a big hug and said ‘See you next door’. Now summer has begun and the kids are tempted to enjoy the sunshine by spending most of their time in Sims2 world. Apoa has had more sense and has gone off to the pond for a dip while I sit here working on my conference paper.

history of winston
No time to blog these days B-(
But Winston Churchill’s quote of the day amused me:
‘History will be kind to me for I intend to write it’

fabio who?
For those who didn’t recognise him, the guy with Ohna is Fabio Cannavaro, the captain of Italy who lifted the world cup on Sunday. Jon Snow just said this in his daily snowmail
Could Zidane’s infamous ‘coup de boule’ end up being the most lucrative head butt in history? As he goes on French TV to explain why he did it, we’ll examine what that moment of madness may cost him - or make him. He might have thought he would lose commercial contracts as a result.
But his current sponsors, Adidas and Danone, say they are still behind him. www.mercizidane.fr will be launched by Adidas this week. And other firms may soon be queueing to buy a piece of the world’s most famous footballer.
He’d never get this much attention if he had just quietly won the world cup - what is the Italian captain called anyway?

mais pourquoi?
Well we was mainly supporting France by the end of today, but somehow Ohna doesn’t seem as sad as the rest of us. B-(
Meanwhile, someone has already uploaded these images of ‘le scandale’ with the tf1 commentary:
