Footie and the Artist.

Women’s Euro footie again tonight. Same story as last night – nobody scoring any goals but a treat for the eyes nonetheless.

Tonight it was the colours. The French were wearing all mid-blue, the Dutch hot orange, and the referee was wearing a DayGlo yellow shirt and socks with black shorts.  I tell you, Vincent Van Gogh would have given his other ear for a seat in the stands with his brush and paint set. He might have disowned it, though, because his team lost 1-0 after extra time. That sort of thing seems to have been the story of poor old Vincent’s life.
