Deutschland unter Italia 28/6/12

Wake to a cloudy morning around seven and use up the last of the sausage, bacon and black pudding to make a full English breakfast, I will need to restock tomorrow. Wash and dress and drive to Cherry for nine, it's spotting with rain as I arrive, but decide to risk it and take the dogs on the Westwood anyway. I take a bum bag with my hat and cagoule in it just in case, and as I approach Black Mill, it starts to rain and I pull them on, but it stops again after a minute or so. As we are walking to the car I find I have lost my hat and have to retrace my steps nearly to Black Mill to find it again. Extra exercise at no extra cost. After dropping the dogs off drive to the leisure centre and swim a 2000m medley at an easy pace and then have lunch in the cafe, quiche, salad and roast potato wedges. I chat to John Morton and his staff for a while then head into Beverley to shop, I replace a pairing knife from Boyes and then buy my weekly groceries from Tesco before driving home. Later eat Somerset Brie and a baguette washed down with a couple of glasses of vin ordinaire, before watching Italy thrash Germany 2 : 0 in the semi final of Euro 2012. The final is on Sunday, Italy v Spain and I shall be watching it with my half Italian brother in law, Gino, over in Birkenshaw. To bed for eleven.
