10,11 and 12th July

10th
Visited Westfield Mall at Shepherd's Bush. It is supposed to be the biggest in  Europe. Selected a gift for our elder granddaughter, Abhishree who became 16 this year. Travelled through a labyrinth of underground lines to reach Shepherd's Bush. First it was Dist line. Then it was Central line. We were back home at Wimbledon in the evening..
11th
Bought the gift after showing it to our son. Semi-final Football World Cup match between England and Croatia  was played today at Moscow. Crocia won 2:1.
12th
Some of the media comments on England's FIFA world cup game were interesting. After 1966 FIFA world cup win it was long awaited England's entry in Semis. Expectation to reach finals was quite high. Defeat became very disappointing. Media comments :
'We will be stronger for this painful defeat, vows proud Southgate.' 'You did us proud. It is not coming home but it was great fun when it lasted.' 'There will be regrets but it has been glorious.' 'The great escapism is over but we must not throw this real progress into the fire.'
