Today we went to Lullingstone Country Park and did a four mile hike to go towards Claire’s sponsor walk for the London air ambulance.

Week 69 – July 5th – Week 8 of lockdown easing phase 3
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.

I went for my induction at the Croydon post office, I say induction, after about 45 minutes we were on the floor working.

Week 59 – April 26th – Week 3 of lockdown easing phase 2
We decided with the local elections next week, as we still wanted to vote, but didn’t feel safe with Covid19 going to the polling station.
So I went online and filled out some information on the government website and today we got the forms to select who we wanted to vote, signed and send back.

With the help of Mark Scholfield, to make the site even more secure, we added registration to be verified, as there had been a couple of random users from bad domains setup recently.

It was like going back to where I started. Today I was accepted to work at Croydon Royal Mail parcel depot via agency work. I put myself forward when I want to work, just to give myself some extra cash.
