ONLY connect, I said. But Rooney was sent off, out-of-control angry at his impossible task up front on his own, and England lost – brave losers, which they do well.
Is Anna a brave loser? Am I, staying with Anna? I don’t want comments that I am brave or whatever: if so, I will suspect that you really mean deep down that if you were me, you would have organised things better, not got stuck with an impossible task.
But relax, there won’t be any football references now for a while. Anna is sleeping and I have finished the Sudoku puzzle. I can do hard logic AND be with her at the same time: it uses a quite different part of the brain.
