Dinner with guests:
- Salade folle
- Fillet de bar au four avec courgettes et fenouil
- Purée de céleri
- Fromages
- Tarte aux framboises
On the opposite corner of our house there is a bar which sometimes stays open quite late. As tonight was quite hot in Paris we left our windows open during dinner. At regular intervals we heard a roar float up form the street as Spain and Portugal battled it out to a 3-3 draw in what must have been an exciting match. Our guest asked me if I was into football, and I answered that while not being a fan I have often followed the world cup with some interest. Having said that I must say that the fact that the tournament is taking place in Russia this year has definitely dampened my already moderate enthusiasm. I guess that answers the question about whether I'm a football fan or not. I cannot separate the event from the organizer and I feel that showing an interest would be a betrayal of my liberal values (a bit like taking an interest in the German Olympic Games of 1936). Still I might tune in to the France-Australia match tomorrow...
