Those people that having being following me on my blog, know that I have been doing a cricket projects since the Covid 19 pandemic started in 2020.
Today I completed my 1500th match review and have only found 5 matches without errors or mistakes in.
On to 2000 matches now.
Well that was an interesting appointment.
It turns out the medication I was put on in May 2024, I should have still been taking and that I should have had a six month check up to see how I was doing on the medication for my blood pressure.
Which I said I was never told that when I had the doctor call back then.
I had been checking my blood pressure readings and showed them to the doctor who said they looked good.
She wanted me to check my blood pressure for the next 7 days, twice two times a day between 6am to 12pm and then 6pm to 12am.
Bring the reading in next week and book a follow up appointment.
This evening we went to the cinema to see Wicked Part 1 and I have to say I really enjoyed the film.
Was some excellent singing and a good story line.
Look forward to see part 2 next year.
This morning, I had quite a shock when I was checking my emails.
It’s that time of year for my car tax renewal, and where as last year, I was seeing lots of people complaining about the increase, this year virtually nothing.
So when I opened the email from Hastings Direct who I had changed too last year, to see this amount quoted for the next year, I couldn’t believe it.
£1.130.44
This was up from £696.21, why? A £434.23 increase.
I decided to take a walk to calm down
So I logged on to the go compare website and after confirming all the car details, I found a quote from the AA for £616.
So I then rang Hastings Direct and said about the new quote from them and even the person I spoke to was taken aback.
So after going through everything with him, he got the value down to £702.79.
I asked why he could get the quote down that low and not the original quote, and said he could put personal details in, where the quote was automated and can’t. That just doesn’t make sense to me.
After a quick chat with Claire, we decided to stay with Hastings Direct, as it was only £6+ increase and have the hassle of changing, even though the AA was cheaper.
Well see what happens next year.

Yes, I know you have missed them so much, back by public demand we have pictures from our Lockdown escape place Knole Park and the deer.
The November full moon was captured by Claire looking out from her office in late afternoon
Not only is it a full moon, it’s a super moon because it’s at its closes point to the earth.
The moon is called a beaver moon, as this is when beavers start to hide away for the winter.
Today I sponsored Kojo for doing an overnight sleepout to help the homeless.
It’s crazy in this day that people are sleeping rough, though that about sums up this crazy world, with wars going on around the world, people sleeping rough, people being knifed and killed for what?
We should be living together with peace and love. Just shows we have not learned anything from our history.
So well done Kojo and his daughters for doing this.
