    Saturday September 19th:

    Friendly XI v Faversham (Away)-

    Due to the estate agent visit and then a change in start time and of course a fair distance drive, I knew I would be late and I hate being late for stuff, especially if i’m playing.

    Of course never played here before either, so I actually make it to Faversham in good time, the actual ground is well hidden behind a farm and needed the help of Bushy to guide me in, at least because of Covid19 i was ready. Though I had missed a text from skipper James Nash, asking if I would be happy to bat up the order.

    Faversham won the toss and elected to bat, it was a team mainly made up of young future players. It was lovely day for this time of year and a very fast outfield, we got a lucky break when James got an LBW on the opener Chris James for 33.

    Definitely a player for the future, Rishi Milward-Bose made a fine 53, before being bowled by Felix Quantrill in good pace bowling spell.

    It was a pretty good bowling and fielding performance that we got them all out for 170.

    Faversham 1st – 170 of 31.5 overs Chris James 33, Vince Taylor 20, Rishi Milward-Bose 53, James Nash 5-0-25-2, Ian Mellor 6-1-32-3, Mick Sumner 4-0-34-2

    In reply, we were led to victory by a fine knock by Dean Freeman, who seemed to have all the time to play his shots in an excellent knock of 93*.

    I was in at 3 and fell for 1, again caught in close in front of the wicket, I need to keep the ball down.

    New Ash Green 1st – 172-7 of 30.3 overs, Dean Freeman 93*, Rishi Milward-Bose 4-0-13-2 won by 3 wickets.

    SAT 19 SEPT 2020 PREMIER LEAGUE

    Leeds United 4 Fulham 3 FT – 2-1 HT

    Hélder Costa (5’minutes, 57’minutes), Klich (41’minutes pen), Bamford (50’minutes)

    Assists Klich (50’minutes), Bamford (57’minutes)

    Mitrovic (34’minutes pen, 67’minutes), De Cordova-Reid (62’minutes)

    Assists Zambo Anguissa (62’minutes), Tete (67’minutes)

    Leeds came out on top in a seven-goal thriller against Fulham in their first Premier League home game for 16 years.

    Leeds’s opening two Premier League games this season have seen 14 goals, the most in a top-flight side’s opening two matches since Wolves in 1962-63.

    Tony Blair was the UK prime minister and American TV sitcom Friends had just aired its final episode the last time Leeds featured in a Premier League fixture at home.

    Leeds boss Marcelo Bielsa speaking to BBC Match of the Day: “This won’t be a constant all year. It is very difficult to maintain the efficiency [in front of goal] we have had in these first two games.

    “The characteristics of our game is to create goal scoring opportunities. In these two games we have created very little but we have scored all our chances.

    “We have had two very different games. Against Liverpool we tried to get close to a very big rival and today we tried to not be caught by Fulham. Both were very difficult games.”

    Not to bore people, I will only update on every 5th league game.

    We decided to get a valuation for the first time, was seen by a lovely estate agent and of course Claire was the closest to the valuation, but we were very happy with it and also that nothing needed to be done to the property for selling it. 🙂  Actually there is, so watch this space.

    So as requested after my hospital visit, I raised an eConsult to have a call with my doctor regarding my leg and foot.

    After the call, I was actually asked to come to the surgery next week, which during COVID19 times is very rare.

    We have lived in our home for 27 years, we can actually call it our home, as after several phone calls we finally got the house deeds this week. Good old COVID19 always here to help, but I wasn’t going to be beaten.

    I decided that the new lawn needed a new lawn mower. This is the beast that will deal with that.

    With more free time and getting up at silly o’clock, I decided to look at photography more.

    Here are some pictures of the moon and I think I caught Jupiter in the second one.
