This week saw Bunster’s school break up for the long summer holiday. And on the first day of his vacation adventure he got sick. Off to the doctor we went. The Bunster has a sore ear, and a bit of a runny nose and a small cough. He is a bit better as I post this. We hope tomorrow when he wakes up that he is feeling good again.

At the start of this week we watched the Egypt Argentina World Cup match at a a friend’s flat. It was an unplanned thing, that late afternoon, after school that day. Our hosts consisted of an Egyptian and Syrian, and myself. And 4 kids. Egypt! Egypt! Egypt! That is what all of us were shouting, and the excitement was quite something. I thought Egypt was going to win for sure. But alas, something happened.

I am not a sporty person and I don’t know much about soccer, er, football. But what I do know is that something was not right. In my eyes, Egypt were not treated fairly. They should have won.

Tomorrow the Bun man has soccer practice in the park (if he is feeling better). He likes playing with a soccer ball.
