  • Week 212 – Apr 2nd – Can we get the pump

    This morning I went with Claire to see the diabetic nurse to see if Claire can go on to a pump that allows her to control her insulin better and then her diabetes.

    Of course being Claire, it’s not going to be straight forward because of the amount of insulin she is taking, but the nurse was positive about it.

    Keeping our fingers cross, especially after the impact that the Libre has had.

  • Week 212 – Apr 1st – Leeds United v Hull City

    Leeds United 3 – Hull City 1 – HT 1-1

    Byram (9)           Carvalho (34)

    Summerville (88 pen)

    James (90+7)

    It’s always more fun, blogging when your team win’s and were on a roll this year. Keep it up Leeds.

    Late goals from Crysencio Summerville and Dan James – with a 40-yard finish – ensured Leeds United stayed in the Championship’s automatic promotion places after beating Hull City at Elland Road.

    Sam Byram headed Leeds ahead after Summerville’s shot had been saved, but Hull drew level thanks to an excellent Fabio Carvalho finish.

    Leeds missed some great chances before the break, while Hull posed a threat in the early part of the second half.

    Mateo Joseph hit the Hull post with 12 minutes to go, but Leeds rallied and Summerville scored from the spot after he was fouled by Regan Slater – and following a disagreement with Joel Piroe about who should take the spot-kick.

    James sealed victory in added time with a remarkable shot from just inside the Hull half after visiting keeper Ryan Allsop had gone up field for a corner and his net was left unguarded.

    It’s getting tight at the top, only two points separating the top three teams, as we near the crunch end of the season. Only six games to go. COME ON LEEDS

    We need to keep this good form going to finish in the top two as I don’t want us in the play-offs.

  • Week 210 – Mar 24th – TGI

    This afternoon, we met up with Claire godson Jack at TGI in Bluewater.

    He was going back to university, but up to Lancaster to complete a master’s degree.

    This was the first time at TGI’s since the pandemic and talk about a difference in the food size and portions. Of the course the price has gone up, but the food wasn’t near the value as it was before.

    You could also see the cost of living kicking in, as there was a queue to get into the restaurant, now there were many empty tables.

    Good luck Jack.

  • Week 210 – Mar 22nd – Win

    For the first time, in quite a while we had a 3 ball lottery win and this was the first time under the new owners of the National Lottery.

    Always good to pick up a win, or is it considering how much has been outlaid since the last win?

    At least it will pay for a Costa or two lol.

    Wow a win!!

    For a change it wasn’t raining and also parking was no issue.
