Dire!

Talk about mixed feelings......I had a fiver on Germany before the tournament. Yaaaaaay! Looks like the Krauts have finally got revenge for that 'goal' in '66'. Never mind. Let's all sit back and enjoy watching Andy Murray play like Bambi on tranquilisers against Nadal.

Get ye gone Gerrard, Lampard, Heskey, Terry, Barry. Back to the drawing board!

In the meantime I've planted just about everything that needed to go in save a few marrows and courgettes. Best tip I can give during the current heatwave is to do your watering in the evening. Worst thing you can do is water over the plants in full sun. The water droplets can cause scorch by acting as a magnifying lens. All sorts of diseases can get hold once this happens, whereas by watering when the sun has gone down the water can seep down into the soil during the night and get to the roots.

Any.....c'mon SWEINSTEIGER!
