And indeed it was a win and a great one as well. It has been a long time since we have seen a 5-0. 

—— 

Off in a minute to the first home game of the season’s second half against Berlin. Hope it is a win for Hannover 96.

So France lost against Germany in a game which turned to be real exciting, prolongation after prolongation. Germany ended up winning the final as well.

Made it back from England late last night. Had a running commentary on both flights (there and back) from miss “talk-a-lot”. Can’t start to imagine what all the other passengers thought. In any case Air Berlin was very good and flying to Stansted airport is not that bad. Anyway it was good fun to have the kiddies for the weekend, I’ll probably need a month to recover though.

Just got home for the weekend and it is snowing as predicted today. Not that it matters too much since I am off to the airport in a very short while to go to London and spend the weekend there. Just waiting for the kiddies to get here before we are off. And you all thought it was going to be a relaxing weekend… Looking forward to it though. Let us hope there is no delay caused by the weather.

Finally, we can feel the cold and snow is not far away either according to the news and the number of reported accidents in the Southern part of the country as well as France and Spain.

Quite  few new developments at work, it has been such an up and down situation over the past few weeks. Am feeling rather stressed. Hopefully there is a small light at the end of the tunnel.

Did I mention before I got a radio-controlled helicopter for xmas. A small, neat little thing which can be flown indoors and is said to be almost indestructable. I can vouch for that, my helicopter flying skills are not what they should be (practise makes perfect). In the meantime any loose objects like glasses on the dining table are an obvious target. Must buy a few replacements soon.
