Yesterday was a good day. A day when the world was turned upside down. Upside down, because for a nice change, we beat three, very strong, Southern Hemisphere nations. We (that's the royal we) beat both Australia at rugby union, New Zealand at rugby league and Argentina at football. If you like to bet, then it would have been a brave man that would have bet against any of those teams, because they are all powerful and very talented sporting nations. But yesterday we did the business and restored a bit of pride in our national sporting spirit. Today I feel very happy and, even though it's miserable outside, all is right with the world.

I'm probably going to suffer for this observation, but Jan decided to 'organise' her wardrobe today. I offered to get involved, as I usually do, so that a certain level of objectivity could enter the reorganisation process. My offer was quickly and soundly rejected. Despite the fact that there were clothes, that first saw the light of day in the early 80's, and had never been worn since, they were rearranged into summer and winter piles to be reintroduced into her wardrobe. Hmmm.

In a recent satisfaction survey, involving 76,000 car owners in the UK, 10 out of the worst 17 cars were French. Which, as one wag suggested, probably explains why they are torching so many cars in France at the moment. At the last count they had destroyed about 8400 cars, so there's still a way to go!
