Predictions and poppies

Oti has been chosen to play cricket for the district

 I predict that one day he will play for Gloucestershire or will at least have the option to as he may well not want to be a professional and perhaps you have to be.

That the EUROs final will be between Spain and Germany.

Went to Sheila for lunch then to Cuddesdon where there were open gardens.

These are the main buildings for the theological college.

No idea how this guy is relevant but a door knocker on a door there.

The local church where we broke a very rickity bench and tea and scones were served.

England playing Slovakia and at 97 minutes were able to equalise 1/1.  Now have 30 minutes extra time then maybe a penalty shootout which is the only bit I like.

Kane, the Captain scored so everyone happy except the Slovaks. Then Germany beat Denmark.

Grasses swaying in the wind .

One packet of wild flowers gave us this.

There are now conspiracies that the weather has been manipulated. With the incessant and increasing number of social media sites and their members, followers all sorts of crazy nonsense gets uploaded and  the results even reach the serious press. It is a Pandora's box which cant be closed and the future harm may be considerable. Once a few cranks were able to come out with outrageous and sometimes dangerous theories, think of witches and aliens which did not in the main originate from young people now any 12 year old can set up a site and start all sorts of rumours, scandals, etc. Trolling has some devastating effects on those who are trolled. It's all very, very nasty.

Annette broughtr another snail. Whether they will breed of course I don't know but have at least introduced them to each other.
