Dozens of older women from countries across the globe gathered to compete this week at the Grannies International Football Tournament in South Africa's northern Limpopo province. The idea for the tournament arose in 2007 as a way to improve the health of local women and create a sense of community.#Africa #football #SouthAfrica

Beeching’s Blockbuster. The Railway Revolution. 2,228 Stations to Go. Dr Beeching proposes to close half of the country’s railway stations and rip up 5,000 miles of track. London fares will go up 2s in the pound and some season tickets will be stopped. One of the stations to close is the Welsh station of Llanfair­pwllgwyngyll­gogery­chwyrn­drobwll­llan­tysilio­gogo­goch.

As a soccer fan I hate how this upcoming world cup will be politicized. I hate how the swamp thing will take credit if we do well and I hate that the players are caught in a no-win situation. And if I'm being honest I really can't be bothered to offer my full-throated support anymore. This is like the 1936 Olympics. It's going to be the MAGA world cup.

My family WERE thinking of getting tickets for the Premier League Summer Series, where they play some games in the USA just for fun. But the good seat tickets were like $800 and the bad seat tickets are too high up! (My dad and my sister both very afraid of heights.)

So instead we're going to see a USA women's professional football (soccer) league game. Tix are between $12 and $53. Much more reasonable. :)

Why not turn your wife into a good backseat driver? Don’t wince at the thought. With spring and summer approaching, your wife could be a valuable “navigator”. Buy Ordnance Survey maps for the district you intend to cover and teach your wife to read them.
