  • Week 164 – May 5th – DBS check results

    Wow that was quick, it said would take 10 days to process the application.

    Less than 3 hours later, I receive an email and everything was OK and I’m good to go.

  • Week 164 – May 5th – DBS check

    This morning I did a new DBS check, something that should have been simple, turned into a bit of a shambles as the photo app wouldn’t read the passport.

    In the end I had to do it manually, but thankfully that went through all OK.

    Now just to wait, approx 10 days.

  • Week 164 – May 3rd – New plants looking good

    Just a picture of the new plants that we had potted recently, looking good. Plus the red robin still going strong.

    As you can see the bench is still covered because we have had hardly any decent weather.

    New plants looking good and the red robin at the back too.

  • Week 164 – May 3rd – Sam Allardyce

    What is going on at Leeds United, how can Sam Allardyce do anything with four games left in the season?

    He’s replaced Javi Gracia after just 10 weeks in charge, the second shortest manager rein in the premiership history.

    I can’t see us staying up now, especially with the goal difference and struggling to score.

    I hope I’m proved wrong.

  • Week 163 – April 29th – Middlesex v Kent – Part 6

    Final pictures from our visit to Lords.

    Quinn to Malan. put away for a 4

    Kent 186 of 65.2 overs (BG Compton 52, TJ Murtagh 4-40, ER Bamber 4-42) and 128 of 57 overs (TJ Murtagh 6-42) lost to Middlesex 229 of 58.1 overs (RF Higgins 71, WA Agar 4-60) and 86-1 of 24.3 overs by 9 wickets.

    Well we were out played by Middlesex and are struggling in the county championship.

    I hope its not going to be another team I follow that is relegated this year?

    As the match finished early we took a trip into the West End of London and saw Oxford Street flying the union flags for the King’s Charles III coronation next week.

    Also went back to the Italian restaurant Remo and had another good meal.

    I hope you have enjoyed this series of posting regarding the visit to Lords?

    Hopefully if the weather is decent and not as many rail strikes, you might see further posting from cricket matches.

    Finally got to go and see some cricket today, as the weather was decent and no rail strikes too.

    We went up to Lords today, for the third day of the county championship between Middlesex and Kent. Only certain parts of the ground are open, which I find strange.

    Kent were batting in their second innings and trying to save the match, could they?
