When I now look back over 2006, I did not get much blogged!

Probabally due to a combination of lazyness, and having a new job. That certainly seemed to take up a good potion of my time. I am not one for new year resolutions so no promise that 2007 will be any better, but it would be nice if I could manage that.

One thing that changed during the year is one of the uses I was putting this site too. I used to use it for notes and also for information about websites that I liked. Then I have to say I discovered del.icio.us well discovered is not really correct. I had known about it for quite a time. I just never really felt the need to use it. But once I started I just kept going! So far over a 1000 links and counting. If you also look at lots of references the it i worth looking at.

Well the world cup has finally arrived! As I write this most of Germany is stood or sat in front of a TV screen, I don’t belive it would be too much of a sterotype to imaginge that most of them have a beer in one hand as well.

The office emptied really early and most were going to watch the opening ceremony and hope Germany get on OK against Costa Rica. I think generally expectations the Germayn have to the tounrament are low and they hope Germany will make it past the group stage any anything else would be luck. The roads were also really empty as I come hoem so that really confirmed where all the Germans are.

I like to make the point that as regards the most important sport we are already World Champions. That said James and I are going to the Togo Korea match on Tuesday, nice since we can cycle to the stadium from here at home. If you have the chance look for us on TV! I will report on the match as soon as we get there, and may be a few pictures of what is happeining in Frankfurt over the next days, hopefully England beat Paraguay tomorrow and all will remain happy.
