I did not rise until late this morning, negating our usual walk. Sometimes we just need to recharge the batteries since we have virtually quit napping in a different time routine.
I did chores until it was time to watch France dispatch Poland to the sidelines at 10am. France won by 3-1 based on 2 goals and 1 assist from Mbappe who is exciting to watch. He also plays on my new favourite team Paris Saint-Germain with Messi and Neymar Jr.
Cristina needed to be driven into Tulua to buy shampoos from her friend Martica (and I bought some for me) before stopping at La Herradura to meet with her mother to celebrate her Birthday. It was raining nicely so Lizzie got a much-needed wash. The 4 standard co-pilots are so darn good, and they appreciate the outing.
I got back late to watch England take out Senegal and their witch-doctor coach 3-0. Senegal played well and deserved a much better score. England now will meet France 10th of December, 2pm EST. That is a game I will not miss.
Had a nice chat with another 2 family members today. It is always nice to get caught up on news from home.
Updated: Roger wanted me to take photos of him, and the kids he helps look after, in front of a brightly decorated house about 4 blocks from here at 7pm. But the little girl was sick, so we just met there to take some test shots. I used my 4-star filter on the first 11 shots and I am not upset with the results. The house is owned by a couple who are lawyers and I really don't expect to find a better-decorated house in this area... Merry Christmas!
Yesm that is Johan again being the model. 
We will definitely need more light fo the faces. 
Merry Christmas, ho, ho, ho.
I hope you enjoy the pictures. That was the day’s excitement.
