TLF’s November fixture congestion makes Liverpool’s December look like a walk in the park. Admittedly TLF activities are more varied and doesn’t involve overseas travel (only getting as exotic as the Cotswolds) but nonetheless it does all look a bit messy.
In light of that and in the interests of banking a few Brownie points, The Mighty Saints at home was eschewed (BOOM!) in favour of some domestic bliss.
Chores safely out of the way by Satday afternoon, the wine is open, the house is toasty, FiveLive is on the radio and TLF is cooking up a storm, as the weather gets a bit stormy outside.
A slight ill wind does however develop dans la cuisine as we go over to the London Stadium, only to discover that Mr TLF’s beloved Hammers have conceded to Newcastle. TLF makes what are intended to be suitably reassuring noises, “Oh it’s early days. Newcastle are a bit flaky.”
Which turns out to be less reassuring noises and more a badly timed verbal assist for Newcastle’s second. A cold front seemed to be descending on TLF Towers.
TLF wisely adopted the ‘if in doubt, say nothing and pour more wine’ tactic.
Which just led to Newcastle’s third. By now it was positively icy.
Still, the slow cooked Bologna ragu was nice….every angry, grey Mr TLF cloud has a silver pasta sauce lining.
