11th July- Last night in this town

The weather is still great and really had quite an easy day and started preparing ourselves for the move tomorrow morning to out new site in the Lot valley.

However this afternoon we went dow to the var to watch the Formula One British Grand Prix which was another good race for McLaren whilst Sebastian Vettel had another bad day in the office. An afternoon spent watching the birds and listening to Ipods and book reading was a pleasant way to spend the rest of the day before a light salad and then off to see the football.

The bar was fairly packed with about 20 or so Dutch, one Spanish couple and a smattering of Brits. The game was rather dirty to begin with Spain seeming to enjoy the majority of play but then the emphasis changed towards half time. Howard Webb who is perhaps one of the best referees at the games and of course the last BrIt to perform did a great job until the very end of extra time when the Dutch thought the sending of was not correct. Shortly after this they went one goal down only moments before the match end. Prior to this time it looked like it would go to penalties and according to the Dutch people around us that the Dutch are worse than the England side and so if it goes to a final shoor out they would most certainly lose. So why they all started shouting at the ref when Howard sent off a player with a red card I cannot quite understand. Oh well that’s football I presume.
