  • Week 149 – January 18th – Is this the thief?

    Was this the squirrel that took the coconut?

    Captured the squirrel as I opened the front door.

  • Week 148 – January 15th – Dover

    We took a trip to Dover Top to look out on the English Channel and Dover Port.

    Couple of pictures from the visit.

  • Week 148 – January 14th – Claire’s mum

    This weekend we spent time with Claire’s dad to sort out her mums stuff. They didn’t realise how many tops she had.

    So many she had, quite a few still had their labels on.

    We took some stuff to the local charity shops, but apart from one, they just wanted one bag of stuff.

    So all done now, not the nicest thing to do, but it has to be done.

  • Week 148 – January 10th – Missed out again

    This afternoon I got an email from the KIA Oval that I had missed out on getting tickets for the Ashes match there.

    The email said there had been over 1.1 million ticket requests. Who says test cricket is dying.

    Looks like I’ll just be watching the highlights.

  • Week 148 – January 9th – Nap time

    Caught this fox napping on a neighbour roof enjoying the winter sun.

    They seem to be out in the daylight much more these day.

    Not a cat nap, but a fox nap.
  • Week 147 – January 6th – Lottery

    After doing the weekly shop, I went to the lottery booth and gave the lady my ticket and said could I have the lucky dip I won for tomorrow’s lottery.

    She called from the machine, you won’t have a lucky dip as you have won £70, I went pardon,

    You got three numbers and have won £70.  I was taken aback, because when I check the ticket, if I get two numbers, I always check the line again to make sure I haven’t missed any numbers, which I must have done this time.

    Good way to start the day 🙂

    Lottery
    A win that I wasn’t suspecting.
  • Week 147 – January 5th – Kent membership

    I had been thinking of becoming a Kent cricket member again this year, but when I looked closely at the fixture list, it was crazy.

    The 13th July is the last HOME day, if the match goes to the 4th day of a county championship match until the first day of a new match on September 10th.  That’s ridiculous in my eyes. So for nearly 50 days of the summer months there is no county championship cricket in Kent.

    The only home games you will be able see are the one day games, all because of a competition that is played nowhere else in the world.

    I’ve finished my rant.
