I had told you about the Dutch documentary about Exeter City. So when they were about to play in Wembley, I sent a short email to the NOS, just in case they were interested. I got a short, formal reply, thaking me for bringing it to their attention. And then I suddenly got an email from my mum, who told me about this two-minute item (wmv-link) on Dutch TV last night. I can’t help thinking I contributed to that. A bit, at least.

In other football news Hansa Rostock, my friend’s Maja’s favourite team and therefore my favourite German team, got promoted to the top tier of the German League system, after two year’s absence. But if you don’t care about football, don’t worry, the new season won’t start again until August. Enough time for me to pump some energy into this body, listen to the truckload of albums that’s waiting there for me, and write about them. Perhaps.
