This evening, we went and saw the new Superman film at Bluewater.
I must admit that the film was much better than I thought it would be. Some excellent effects and lots of action. Recommend seeing the film.

Week 282 – July 29th – Kent v Leicestershire – Part 5
End of days play. I was on my best behaviour and saw Kent take some wickets, thanks to Matt Parkinson taking 7 wickets, despite a brilliant century by Rehan Ahmed.
Actually, the most wickets in a day for a few years.

Week 282 – July 28th – Met Steve and Ziya
After the mess above, I was running a bit late, but got to Ruxley Garden Centre on time, as I walked into the restaurant, I was surprised to see Steve, but he had been able to make time to get to the garden centre.
Had a lovely breakfast and chat with them both.

Week 281 – July 27th – England win Euro’s final
Just after the presentation was completed, we left our seats and went to the ground level and manage to capture the moment that the England women won the Euro Final via penalties. The atmosphere was crazy.
England 1 – Spain 1 – HT 0-1 – AET 1-1
England win 3-1 on penalties

Chloe Kelly, who scored the iconic winner at Wembley in the final of Euro 2022, was the hero again as she converted the decisive spot-kick to seal victory after Spain had missed three in a row, with Hannah Hampton saving two of them.
It is the first time an England team has won a major trophy on foreign soil and seals manager Sarina Wiegman’s status as one of the world’s greatest with her third successive European title – achieved with two countries.
The Lionesses also became the first side to win a single-legged Euros final having been behind at half-time, proving they are the ultimate comeback queens.
They looked down and out when they trailed for a fourth time at Euro 2025, having conceded first in all three knockout matches – but they would not allow their story to end in such a feeble manner.
Mariona Caldentey’s first-half header had put Spain in control, but it did little to dampen England’s unwavering belief and they refused to be beaten.
Substitute Kelly’s introduction changed things when she came on for a struggling Lauren James, named in the starting XI by Wiegman despite doubts over an ankle injury in the build-up.
Kelly’s whipped cross picked out Alessia Russo, who headed the ball into the far corner to make it 1-1.
The Lionesses then dug deep, putting in endless blocks and playing for a shootout, knowing they had what it took to deliver under pressure and complete the greatest achievement by an England team.
So, what a day for women’s sport, highest attendance at a women’s domestic T20 cricket match, and then the England women retained the Euro and first time an English senior side as won a competition on foreign soil. Go ladies.

Week 281 – July 27th – First ever T20 Women’s finals day – Part 10
Surrey ladies having fun with the trophy. Final posting from the days cricket. We had a lovely day and great conversation with a Warwickshire couple. Interesting to know that tickets are cheaper for international matches at Edgbaston.
I hope you enjoyed the pictures and videos from day?
Good to see that we were part of a record crowd day for women’s domestic T20 competition and long may it continue for women’s sport.
