Just an ordinary Friday

There are days you will not soon forget in your life.

Last Friday was a day I rather forget, but that’s probably not going to happen.

You’re reading this post today, the following Friday. A lot has happened in between, so the news is old.

But the memory is still very fresh.

The day really started with a traditional Xmas lunch with a group of Dutch friends living and working in Prague.

Some are already here for more than 20 years. Others are ‘in and outers,’ as we call the expats who come and go.

Last Friday was also another day in the World Cup. Brasil-Croatia and Netherlands-Argentina.

My intention in the morning was to watch both games at home. I had let my family know. I did not take my phone charger.

The primary reason being that I like to watch football in a smaller group.

When you watch in a pub, you get people that have no interest in try watching the game.

It’s background noise to them, and they’re background noise to me.

Beware the occasional pub visitor who has no interest in watching football and engages in dumb questions.
