Not to be

Disappointed that Italy have failed miserably at the World Cup. I was hoping that I might be able to watch the world cup final while in Italy on holiday. Being in a town square filled with passionate Italian fans watching their team on a big screen would have been fun ( and blessed with sunshine too, of course).
I suppose I will just need to enjoy the sunshine!

Vuvuzela

I am indebted to my good friend Humph who sent me this information -

"The Nazareth Baptist Church (Shembe) in KwaZulu-Natal, which claims that the vuvuzela is its invention, has threatened to go court to stop its use during the World Cup if the church is not compensated....".

This Sunday I will be sharing a vuvuzela duet with Jonah.

World Cup fever

I went to pick Annette up with the shopping at Sainsbury's this afternoon. As usual she takes longer than I would expect. As I looked at the World Cup section, I could not resist.
I will use it on Sunday morning as part of the 'word to the children'.

In three weeks time, just before the World Cup final, we will be in in Italy on holiday. I am hoping Italy get to the final. I might then be able to find a big screen in the town square filled with enthusiastic Italian supporters. But after their performance in the first round of matches my hope might be a forlorn one.
