  • Week 152 – February 11th – Nextdoor

    I use a website called Nextdoor, very useful for finding out things going on local, as well as useful tips and finding local trade people.

    Yesterday when I used the site, every time I clicked on the comments, to see all the comments, nothing expanded, even on ones that had worked the previous day.

    I must admit they don’t make it easy to report something, as I had to search around to find out our too contact them. Why do companies do this?

    Finally I did. They responded, saying that they would look into it, and overnight, I got a response, saying it was resolved.

    Which it was, so good quick turnaround, as it was making the website pointless.

  • Week 152 – February 8th – Urgent blood test

    This afternoon I get a phone call from the doctors, saying I need to have an urgent blood test done at the hospital as my potassium was showing a reading of 6, which is high. This was from the blood test I had done on the 7th February.

    They said go to the hospital now and say it’s for an urgent blood test.

    I get to the hospital and there is nowhere to park, this is due to some work going on in the car park, I drive around, but can’t find spaces in any other car park, so find a side road to park in and walk to the blood test centre.

    There I get told, that I need a form for the blood test, which the doctor never said, so I go back to the car and drive to the surgery, yes there was a form there with urgent on it. Why didn’t they say?

    So I go back, park in the same road, which was wise as the car park still full, and was allowed in.

    The person who took my blood, actually took it out of my right hand, never had it done like that before, as they said the vein was good. Again I didn’t feel anything.

  • Week 152 – February 7th – ECB coaching

    Today I received confirmation that my ECB coaching membership had been confirmed for another year.

  • Week 152 – February 7th – Blood test

    This morning I had my blood tests done at the surgery to find out why my blood pressure is high.

    As usual they say sharp scratch, but I never felt anything. I’m not the greatest with needles.

    Just wait now to see what the results are.

  • Week 151 – February 5th – Nottingham Forest v Leeds United

    Nottingham Forest 1 – Leeds United 0 – HT 1-0

    Johnson (14)

    Forest were second-best throughout the first half, but Johnson’s thumping 14th-minute strike was enough to move them six points clear of the relegation places.

    After Leeds failed to clear a free-kick on the right, the ball bounced up for the Wales forward to rifle it into the bottom corner from the edge of the box.

    The hosts were indebted to debutant goalkeeper Keylor Navas, on loan from Paris St-Germain, who made important first-half saves from Wilfried Gnonto, Luke Ayling and Luis Sinisterra, who put Leeds best chance of the game over the bar from six yards out.

    Leeds threat all but vanished in the second period and Forest comfortably held on for a third victory in five Premier League games, moving up to the 13th in the table.

    Jesse Marsch’s Leeds, meanwhile, have gone seven league games without a win and stay 17th, above the relegation zone only on goal difference.

    Another dispiriting result leaves Leeds without a Premier League since 5 November.

    Even taking into account the break for the World Cup, it is a statistic that makes for grim reading for their supporters.

    Yes it is, and more so as were struggling to score, which isn’t helping, why we didn’t bring in a couple of forwards during the January transfer market is beyond me, as Bamford as lost it up front.

    As you can see from below, were in a worse position then last season, all that hope after the early games this season as gone. We can’t afford to be relegated.

    League position 17th after 20 games – After 20 games last season, Leeds were 15th.
