Yes whenever it's on TF1 we watch it direct.
The matches on bein sport I stream with an app called mobdro. Which is a fantastic app and stores the keys for all scrambling and cas systems. It was freezing up last night. Not to worry. I will soldier on.

Wanted to add it was very nice of the penguin to save a pigeon. I was trying to make a word pengeon or pigguin but it is just not sounding right

Lol! That will give predictive text nightmares.

Gilmer, I agree, it's a shame the USA are not in Russia. England missed the 1994 WC in the US so I know how you feel.

I am impressed with Iran's build up play but they do not look like they will score. Now that I have posted this they will undoubtedly score within seconds.

Iran and Spain just provided a great match.

And even thought Sao posted it, Iran still didn't score.

The guys who are building an apartment building next to mine must be behind schedule, because it's dark already and they are still working. Never saw them working that late.

Nighty night MB.
I won't be long myself.

We watched a nice little Netflix Australian movie tonight called Ali's Wedding. It was based on a true story. It was well worth the watch.

Goodnight weekenders.

Hello folks, Congrats on those who achieved milestones today.

I am on Day 5, no AV whatsoever so far. Had a hard time yesterday but it never lasted more than like 45 minutes. I just literally did not pay any attention to it bothering me, after a while.

Fantastic, Suze! You will rock it!

How long will you be studying?

hi everyone 😊 It’s Thursday morning here. I love reading what everyone has been up to 😊 Thanks Saoutchik, this is a great thread with really great people! What a kind thing to do for the pigeon 😊

Midnightblue I have been drinking more coffee since I quit wine. Coffee is soooo good 😊 I have to limit it though, otherwise I can’t get to sleep at night....

Free, my “weekends” were pretty much Thursday through to Monday... plus I used Tuesday and Wednesday for a couple of “recovery drinks” between weekends 😳 now I’m enjoying waking up with a clear head, although the weekends are still a challenge. I haven’t managed to banish the AV entirely, but it’s getting a bit easier to send it to the naughty corner... each time it tries to get out of it’s corner I swear at it and bash it back into the corner again

Have a great sober weekend everyone,
Willow 😘

Thanks, saoutchick; it is a coveted catch and this one was a nice size.

I did a little happy dance!
