Well first of all - changed the layout of the blog again. It's more refreshed and a bit more summery (despite the lack of sun right now).
Over the weekend, a little thing called the World Cup (you may have heard of it!) started and it's been crazy World Cup Fever ever since. The TVs are all on at work on a daily basis whenever a match is on. Anyway, I had my first football/soccer experience over the weekend and it definitely was something else!
Katie (Lou's roommate) was also celebrating her birthday, so we all headed down to our local to help her celebrate as well as catch the England-USA match. It was insanely busy at the pub! We got there at 4pm (4 hours early) and managed to snag the last table. But the atmosphere was something I've never seen before and it was definitely a cool experience.
It wasn't fun getting mistaken for an American - but this was something that I was fully expecting before hand! Most people were completely fine once I corrected them.
All in all it was a good experience and I look forward to catching some more football before the tournament's end. Work has even booked out a bar close by for the England - Slovenia match next week so we can all have some drinks, food and watch the footie (check me out with my new lingo).
Hope you're all enjoying the newfound sun I heard about - hopefully it's still around!
Love you and miss you all x
