When is a Lila day not a Lila day?

Have you worked it out yet? NO!!! You must have a very low IQ. Its not a Lila day if Lila’s not here. That’s the rule. And she’s not. She’s run off. Even though she doesn’t walk yet. Run off to Italy. Packed her little case with essentials; bunny, books, pink shit, more bunnies, and run off to Rome. And I’m so sad and desperate that I’m running after her. Next wednesday in fact, I’m going to Rome to find my baby. Ok, we all have a wedding there, but that’s not the point. The point is… the point is vague, at the moment. Suffice to say, no Lila today.

So instead I’ve booked a session at the dentist. A long one. Because Thursday is a ‘fun day’ and that must be maintained, even without the funny little one. So I’m having a new crown to replace an old one that’s well past its chew-by date, plus, there’s an infected tooth that needs… something. And they’re always fun. Coincidentally, Mel, who never has trouble with teeth, is also going, to a different dentist, for root canal today.

And to ‘convalesce’ they’re starting the World Cup for me. Russia versus Saudi Arabia. Even surgical dentistry pales into dullness compared to that fixture. Amazing that they’ve managed to find 11 Russians who aren’t out poisoning people and 11 Saudis who aren’t murdering Yemenis to actually play the match. But they are. Let’s hope there’ll be no pathetic racial stereotyping at this wonderful event.

Spain sacked their national team manager yesterday. Which is great news for all the other countries as Spain are, generally, pretty useful in big tournaments, having one loads. Though that was before Xavi and Iniesta retired. The manager announced (a full 5 minutes before Real Madrid were going to make it public) that he was leaving after the summer to manage that exalted club. The head of Spanish football called him a nob. In Spanish. And kicked him off the team.

The best news of all being that if he’s going to Real then Pochettino stays at Tottenham!!!!! So everybody’s happy. Except for the Spanish squad who will feel somewhat destabilised without their manager. Que sera, sera.

One last question. Is the sentence ‘Donald Trump is very tanned’ fake news? Just askin’…

Happy un-Lila-day
