After much deliberation, checking of timing, and being ready to leave as soon as the result was declared, it was deemed that this morning's following of the Scotland Argentina game prior to going to church was the plan. It was just as well I had a 25 minute walk to church to recover from the match.
I now have complete and utter brain ache after trying to work out what's got to happen next if Scotland are to progress... and that's after reading the Scotland v England Permutations on this page. I have grasped the essentials. I think. I'm also sure Ben and Tom will explain to me tomorrow in great depth. (Ben and Tom, aged 18 and 19 respectively, may have a poor grasp of basic skills in Numeracy and Literacy, despite all our efforts, and somewhat interesting social skills, but they have an excellent grasp of the important matters in life, such as who needs to do what to get through the Pool stages. They are saddened that I have not put my impressive ability to spot a missing capital letter or full stop within 2 seconds of glancing at their work, to better use. But we get on very well, and Monday morning breaks are devoted to the finer analysis of Rugby during World Cup and Six Nations seasons.)
In between times, I've been having Bright Ideas - about where to go next with the painting and decorating, about what to do about Church stuff that continues to bother me, but is no longer overwhelming, and the Getting a Life thing... they're all percolating!
On the "Oh bother it" front, I'm hoping today's excessive noise from my new neighbours is an occasional rather than regular event. I have to go to the library on the way home from work tomorrow, as I can't renew my books on-line again (I was planning to go next weekend!) and who gave my nephew permission to have his 21st birthday?
