After visiting Pollhill and getting a new Father Christmas, yes I know its October.
We went to Biggin Hill airport café for a coffee and watching the planes come and go.

Week 186 – Oct 8th – Christmas already
It’s crazy, well in my opinion to be thinking of Christmas food, but this afternoon we placed our food order for Christmas day and something for New Year’s Day online with Marks and Spencer.
This will be collected on the evening December 23rd. It has always been very well organised.

Week 186 – Oct 7th – 100 up
Today I received an email from Trip Advisor, congratulating me on my 100th different location review. Didn’t realise that I had done that many.
I have actually done more then 100, but have reviewed some locations more than once.
Always good to give feedback, especially the locations that respond and help other users to make up there mind about visiting the location.
Look forward to doing more reviews.

Week 186 – Oct 7th – Claire Covid 19 vaccine
I took Claire to the doctor’s surgery to get her winter booster for Covid 19 virus.
She can get this because she is in a high risk health group. All went well.

Week 186 – Oct 4th – Leeds United v Queens Park Rangers
Leeds United 1 Queens Park Rangers 0 – HT 1-0
Summerville (9′)
Assists –
Rutter (9′)
The last 5 games have seen a good run of results, which we have need to make sure Leicester and Ipswich don’t run away from us.
Leeds United moved up to sixth place in the Championship as they edged past struggling Queens Park Rangers at Elland Road.
Crysencio Summerville’s cool finish gave Leeds an early lead as the hosts dominated the first half against the goal-shy R’s.
Both sides found it hard to create any decent chances until the final 15 minutes when Patrick Bamford had a shot saved while Pascal Struijk also went close.
Rangers could have salvaged a point with three minutes left but Illan Meslier saved a point-blank effort from Lyndon Dykes with his chest.
The night got worse for QPR in stoppage time when goalkeeper Asmir Begovic was sent off for a tackle on Bamford as he went through on the edge of the box – although replays showed Begovic did not make contact with the striker.
Summerville’s first goal since the opening day of the season came after some good work down the left by Georginio Rutter to set up the Dutchman, whose neat touch took him round his marker before he found the bottom corner.
Again were struggling to score, with Bamford yet to score this season.
Hopefully we can carry on with the positive results and close the gap on Leicester and Ipswich
League position 6th after 10 games

Week 185 – Oct 1st – Waning Gibbous
The Waning Gibbous on October 1 has an illumination of 94%. This is the percentage of the Moon illuminated by the Sun.
As it was a clear night sky, (well there is some cloud around) managed to capture a couple pictures of the moon.
I like the capture of the cloud across the moon.

Week 185 – Oct 1st – Greenwich – Part 1
As the weather was reasonable today, we went up to Greenwich park and had a walk down by the River Thames and saw this cruise liner docked at Greenwich, when I searched for the cruise liner Amadea, it was actually saying it was in Tilbury. Well it wasn’t.
Quite surprised to see this cruise liner docked at Greenwich.
