At the end of the longest day

In honour of young Neil’s imminent departure, todays 5 a side match was Ball Park Figures vs the rest of the world. BPF ran home the winners by a single goal.
Then, in the evening we met up with S to assess his recovery from his stroke. At Wetherspoons. Watching the football (Argentina 0 Croatia 3). Whilst eating pizza and a pint for £7.50.
He’s getting better but it’s a slow process. Speech was faster but walking with stick was still slow. And his vision to the left is non-existent. To the extent that he forgets things on his left even if he has seen them.

In a stroke of genius, I had cycled to the pub and it was a pleasant ride home in the last glow. Saw a rabbit. And a rat. And a dozen teenagers in a park, talking quietly and smoking weed.
