Beaten in Badajoz

Went to Badajoz in Spain for dinner tonight, and a bit of a tour of the city, as one of C and E's guests had never been there. The other two were Mouranenses who left as kids to study in Lisbon, and still live there. Good to have the Padre back from his pilgrimage to Poland, as well. 

While we were eating our (superb) hamburgers, heard Croatia had beaten England, shame, but glad it wasn't on penalties, and glad it was Croatia who beat them - who I'd love to win the Cup now (with Brazil, Portugal and England all out), would mean so much to them.

Oh, and thanks for all the love for yesterday's Blip, much appreciated.
