  • Week 192- Nov 19th – Cricket World Cup final

    So today was the final of the World Cup, which had been very poor defence by the defending champions England, just managing to scrape through to qualify for the Champion trophy in two years’ time. We can only play on flat wickets.

    The final was between the host India and Australia, once again Australia triumphed thanks to another 100 in a final this year by Travis Head.

    I had entered the ICC fantasy cricket competition and my goal was to finish in the top 10% of the people taking part.

    I finished 11,247 out of 508,200 teams with 20,362.0 pts, winner was on 25,868.5 pts. So I made my goal.

  • Week 192 – Nov 15th – ICC survey

    Took part in a survey regarding the ICC cricket website and mobile app.

    Hopefully my response will have impact on their website as it does need some updating.

  • Week 192 – Nov 15th – See a friend

    This morning I went and saw Martin Ives.

    Always interesting parking where he works and today was especially not easy to park.

    Good to catch up and will be looking to organise an event in the New Year.

  • Week 192 – Nov 14th – Diabetic results

    Just by chance, I happened to go to the NHS app on my phone, as I noticed that I could see my blood results. They came back OK, which is a relief.

  • Week 191 – Nov 10th – Covid 19 Infection survey

    Today I received and email saying that the National Office of statistics has decided to stop the covid19 survey that had been suspended in March of this year.

    They thanked me for the time I had done this during the pandemic.

    I thought it was very useful to be part of this to help get back to a normal life.

  • Week 191 – Nov 10th – Diabetic blood test

    I had a blood test this morning to see how I was doing regarding diabetes.

    Hopefully with the exercise I was doing and less eating it should still be OK.

    I hate needles, lol, but thankfully no trouble with getting the blood out.

    I was lucky, there was only 1 other person waiting and I was in and out before Claire had found somewhere to park.

  • Week 191 – Nov 10th – Rose tree

    The rose tree in memory of Claire’s mum, was blooming again.

    It looks amazing and smells wonderful too.
