A bit cooler, 11°C so that thermometer does still work but clear in the morning. There is no cloud and no wind all day, just the sun burning down.

Shopping but quick to be back in time to prepare lunch. Lunch is roast with asparagus and an enhanced hollandaise sauce.
After washing the dishes I clean two more kilos of asparagus for the freezer. It is the first time I try this so I will cross my fingers. I handle them in the standard vegetable freezing method, that is peeling dumping in boiling water and the moment it boils again lift them out and cool them in cold water, when cold pack them in a plastic bag and pop them in the freezer.
I'll remember to report the result in a month time or so.

 

Football :

Portugal - Tshechia : 1-0
England-Germany : 1-0

And as expected (and not averted by the one-day drugs toleration) a bunch of Brits (I don't say British supporters) start to cause problems.
The problems already began yesterday evening in Brussels with riots and battles between Brits and the police. In Charleroi, today the police succeeds in keeping the British and German troops separated. The Brits decide that they can cause trouble without German help. Nothing is unexpected about this, almost all the rooms looking out on the main place are rented out to film-crews (some paying up and over 300.000 BEF ($7500)).
Maybe I am cynical but I wouldn't be surprised that some of the "Brits" starting the riots are not really British and actually payed. Puting a film crew up in a hideously expensive room must of course produce some 'spectacular' result. It's just a tought of course.

Adios
