A Few Ramblings...

Germany 1-0 Argentina: World Cup Final 2014 – 13 July 2014

Germany won their fourth World Cup as they defeated Argentina 1-0 inside extra time, thanks to a goal from Mario Gotze, in the Maracana Stadium.

Here’s how it unfolded on Twitter:

Both teams out and warming up at The Maracana – Germans fans may be in the minority but were very confident before kick-off.

Backed #arg to win at start of the #World Cup, so can’t jump ship now, but #ger deserved favourites. So many strengths & a joy to watch

Kick-off at the #WorldCupFinal and it's 25C in Rio de Janeiro – the same as the UK's highest temp today in London and Wiggonholt, W Sussex.

What a chance for Higuain. Through with only Neuer to beat from Kroos' misplaced header and doesn't even hit the target.

Brazil 1-7 Germany – 8 July 2014

Germany thrashed World Cup hosts Brazil 7-1 in a memorable semi-final match which will go down in the annals of World Cup history.

Here’s how it unfolded on Twitter:

Awesome anthem from #bra players, mascots, coaching staff, kitman & fans. Everyone. Great touch from David Luiz holding up Neymar shirt

Dismal defending from #bra as the unmarked Mueller scores from the first #ger corner of the match. #bra 0-1 #ger

— Phil Bray (@PhilBray) July 8, 2014

Good finish, shocking defending. Kroos corner, Muller finish. 5th goal this #WorldCup, 10 in two tournaments, could challenge Klose/Ronaldo

Make that 3-0. Kroos. Incredible stuff.

— Phil McNulty (@philmcnulty) July 8, 2014

— Dan Walker (@mrdanwalker) July 8, 2014

I knew Brazil would miss Neymar and Silva, but even England could beat them on this form. Well, ok, that might be going a little far…

It seems the Germans spend their time practicing football rather than getting tattoos and stupid hair cuts. A lesson for England perhaps.

One hundred photos for one hundred years – 21 June 2014

‘She was born on a summer Sunday in 1914. It was an unusually warm summer. In his garden at Giverny, Monet was painting waterlilies. The Tzar was at his summer palace. Elgar was composing.

It was an age of horses and carts, domestic servants, airships and silent movies. Just eleven years after the first powered flight.

We were a Superpower with an Empire on which the sun never set but houses had no power and were lit with gas and oil lamps. Women could not vote. There was no NHS. The life expectancy for men was forty-seven…’

With the above words, my uncle began his tribute to his mother, my grandmother, on the occasion of her funeral in January 2011.

My grandma died on 21 December 2010 at the age of 96½ years old.

Today would have been her 100th birthday.

To celebrate, here are 100 photos of a much-loved mother, grandmother and great-grandmother who we all still miss.
