Week 75 – August 16th – Meal with Jack
Today we had an afternoon meal with Claire’s godson Jack. First time we have seen him since the pandemic started last year.
He’s passed all his courses in his first year at university, so well done him.

Week 70 – July 12th – Week 9 of lockdown easing phase 3
I purchased a new camera for my car just over a week ago and followed the instructions for setting it up.
I plugged it into the car and it worked.
Then after stopping the car, the next tine I started the car, the camera went into a loop trying to start.
So I reset the camera and followed the instructions again and the same thing happened.
So I raised a support case with the company, after going through virtually the same process that I had already done from there email support instructions.
I checked the charger and it had a different connector compared to the car one, so I then tried using the USB cable in the in cars own charger and then camera worked,
So even though they wouldn’t say and their is nothing on the website, this model is obviously not compatible with every car.
Also makes me wonder how much longer this issue would have gone on for if I hadn’t tried stuff myself.

Sun July 11th 2021 EUROPEAN CHAMPIONSHIP – FINAL
Italy 1 England 1 FT (AET) – 0-1 HT
Bonucci (67) Shaw (2)
Assist Tripper (2)
Italy win 3-2 on penalties
England’s bid to end their 55-year wait for a major trophy ended in the familiar agony of defeat in a penalty shootout as Italy claimed the Euro 2020 crown at Wembley.
On a night of anticipation, tension and ultimate heartbreak in a feverish atmosphere, England looked on course for their most joyous day since 30 July 1966 when Luke Shaw gave them the perfect start after two minutes.
Italy, unbeaten in 33 matches before this final, slowly edged their way back into the game and were level in the 67th minute when Leonardo Bonucci pounced after England goalkeeper Jordan Pickford turned Marco Verratti’s header on to a post.
And after a tense period of extra time failed to find a winner, it was on to penalties and bitter disappointment for England manager Gareth Southgate and his players, who had gone into this final on a wave of expectation and high emotion.
England missed three of their five penalties, Marcus Rashford hitting a post and Gianluigi Donnarumma denying Jadon Sancho before – so cruelly for such a fine young player – Arsenal teenager Bukayo Saka also saw the giant Italy goalkeeper save his spot-kick.
Harry Kane and Harry Maguire scored for England but, while Pickford kept hopes alive with saves from Andrea Belotti and Jorginho, Domenico Berardi, Bonucci and Federico Bernardeschi scored for Italy.
Of course there were the idiots after the game that were keyboard warriors and just shows what a sad world we live in.
We should be proud of them as they had done brilliant during the tournament.

Week 69 – July 5th – Week 8 of lockdown easing phase 3
Today was annoying start to the day, I went to order a couple of ECB clothing items and when I got to the checkout I got an array error. I tried again and got the same error.
I then tired in a different browser and got the same issue.
I then checked in my email and saw that I had three orders, so even though I was getting the error, the orders went through, I looked on the website and couldn’t see any phone number, so sent an email. I then contacted my credit card provider and they could only mark them.
I searched again on the website and deep down in the T&C, I found another number and called this, they could see the orders and were happy to cancel two. The reason that it was hidden, they were moving offices and there was only one phone taking calls. The lady was very helpful and got it all sorted.
Crazy the orders could still go through, even though I was getting a bad error.
