ooh-to-be

Yes. Find your superlatives for that one later. But what more could you have hoped for but to hear the commentators croon afterward that it had lived up to the hype. Should have just gone for a 2-1 straight instead of the Van Persie winner as well, but how could I presume to care. And as the guardian MBM states - what price an Arsenal-Spurs Champions League final at Wembley. Oh the world, if it could pull that imaginative feat off.

Funny walk through Camden Town and along the lock today, after the late wake-up call. I sense a similar mid-day struggle tomorrow, with a funny addition to navigate. We shall see. What remains important are the little things - hilarity of Cyber Dog (having mis-read the connection) and the vintage nature of the Stables Market, followed by the walk along the water to the tune of the New World. With thoughts of London as something to keep so lovingly at a slight arm's-length. We'll see. Which is worth recording, but the true line was Tim's mate who memorably commented how it was the moment that you walk through the gate, and the full stadium opens up before you, that you remember why you love this stuff so much. He, who heads home tonight with a smile and broken glasses (my favorites, he claims). Such are the nights of legend. 78 and 83. See what you have left next month, boys. Surely you are in with a chance.

As for us, Cyprus tomorrow, and drinks in the old town of Limassol as the world turns. Oh my. What could be next?
