Had a few cranky days...not slept well, spent too much time waiting for the darn plumber to eat well and do my exercises, been told by the optician that probably my eyesight in my left eye is permanently 3 degrees down, my garden was suffering the heat too much and myself too...

Then on Tuesday I joined the entire Country in watching Italy beat Germany and getting to the World Cup final. Yes I know I said football bores me and I actually yawned quite a few times and kept expecting the players to pounce each other and have a good roll in the mud (and you lot keep your brains out of the gutter, I was missing rugby not sex. Yes I would have loved them to have sex instead of behaving like squeeing fangirls, but I am still shocked by what you can find by googling "yodel" ) but football is the only thing that actually has Italians getting out flags and behaving like a Nation, so... I am happy we are going to the final. even if France is a though cookie.

Then I switched plumber. Found a new one, that not only did come the day after I called him, but rang the same day giving me a time, kept that time fixed the problem I asked him without trying tricks of the kind "I need a new part that is going to cost you your first born" was nice, clean and gentle and asked for an honest price. I am still under shock.

Then I found a small used stuff shop that stocks Gap, Banana Republic, Guess and Victoria's secrets. What's the big deal you will think. There are two big deals: Victoria's secrets babydolls for less than 2 dollars and underwear and jeans that actually fit me in good quality material. *sighs* Gap doesn't simply have stuff I like, it has it in shapes and sizes that fit me without making me look a potato sack or making me walk with Silas pains. And I guess this is enough TMI on my underwear habits*

Add the fact that the temperature has finally dropped and water from the sky is cheering up my garden and I am feeling a bit weirder than usual but well enough to write.
