Saturday: Italy win Eurovision, England get beaten 7-1 at the world ice hockey championships by Russia, Brentford win a place in a play off for promotion to the premier division, FC Honka lose 0-1 to Lahti, I plant two dozen cosmos, trim the drive hedges, plant up three dozen plants, There is a brief expedition to the garden centre to buy lasagne, I avoid buying a 43 inch TV and substitute it by buying two pairs of “hippy trousers” and then, when my liquid skin arrives, cement my surgery dressing to my face. All in all an average British day.
