Saturday 17th June- A day of leisure

Following a thunder and lightning storm on Friday we night we awoke to a slightly greyish day, albeit not cold.Having spent the previous day downtown, we decided that a day of rest was called for including a large helping of football.
We both decided to read a book and also went for a swim to pass the time of day, very relaxing indeed. We watched the USA team give the Italian team a tough time indeed and quite frankly for the effort they deserved to win, however, as usual, matters do not always work out this way. I think the Italians were lucky to win although they took considerable stick from their fans who watched a ten man Italian team of famous footballers being taken to the cleaners by a team of nine unknown Americans-does your heart good to see.
