Thanks very much

My birthday day out involved meeting my son and a friend in Bury, to watch Coventry take on "the Shakers." Coventry lost 2-1. Then we took the tram into Manchester to watch England v Wales in a crowded pub. England lost 25-28.  So, thank you Coventry and England for a double disappointment. But at least the beer(s), the pre-match chicken balti pie and the later fish and chips were good.

This picture was a rare moment of joy: Coventry's Reda Johnson celebrating scoring the solitary goal.
