Tonight, the kids were treated to a football (soccer) game at a local pub. Personally, I think an English pub has to be one of the best places to watch a local game - maybe even better than in the stadium. I suppose I may have watched one too many episodes of Ted Lasso, where English pub patrons are passionate and fun.

I think Liverpool (close to where they are right now) and Tottenham (Thomas’s favourite Premier League team) had a match today. I can imagine that being the only Tottenham fan in a crowded pub of Liverpool fans could be uncomfortable, but then he always enjoyed standing out in a crowd…
