Got the train to Ely under leaden skies. Lovely te at Peacocks (served by the cute redhead again). Russina Caravan for me & Watson for Lou. Went next door and wandered around looking for a bag. Found a battered Gladstone which Lou decided against. Went round charity shops & Lou found something there. Went to the Cathedral vicinity but it started raining heavily.
Took refuge in the Minster (had nice pint of Trooper). Then across the road to ther old Georgian hotel the Lamb. Wether still rubbish so headed to the Station via the Standard. When we got on the train the sun came out (fewkin typical) though it was still very windy.
Got a taxi to the Isaac - the extravagance!
Got in to find that a press conference had been hastily arranged then delayed in Zurich.
While we waited England got tonked by NZ, losing by 199 as they squared the series.
Just before 18.00 Sep Blatter announced his intention to stand down (only 4 days after being re-crowned & attacking US/UK). He said he'll be going in 6-9 months (a bit like Farage).
Just after this Heather arrived from Leeds (very cold at the cricket). All were astonished with announcemnet and, just a few days of arrogance & subsequent bullshit, a diminished figure shuffled off stage right.
Spent the rest of the evening chatting to Heather.
