Another week down, another to go. And perhaps another…
Little change in the wait for the little-big arrival. Two more blood pressure checks for la mère, while la fille performs more Alien-like acrobatics in her current world. Meanhwile le père had a couple of brief diversions from kicking his heels by going to watch some men kicking a ball. In a packed pub on Wednesday, I watched the glorious Gunners beat the 'best team in the world', and then on Friday watched some live football for the first time in five weeks. Having put four past the local enemy last week, OL did it again in the warm-up for the visit of Los Galacticos next week. Can't say it was a totally inspiring victory against Nancy, apart from a stunning overhead goal by Jimmy Briand, but eight goals in a week will put les gones in good heart as they attempt to maintain a 100% record against Real Madrid in their last three meetings at Gerland.
