Yes it’s the first full week of September and we purchased a Father Christmas at Polhill. When we got to the queue for the till, the shop assistant had said she had been trying to work what we were carrying when she saw us approaching. ?

Claire went into hospital this week as her Endometriosis had flared up again. Of course because of Covid19, I wasn’t allowed to be with her, it felt a bloody long day, as I know she takes a while to come around from the operation. Thankfully she was back in the day, even though they had messed up on several front, which isn’t great when you’re a diabetic.
Little did we know, a more major hospital visit was just around the corner? ?

1st XI v Holcombe & Blue Bell Hill (Home)
As we entered the final month of the season, the weather was still holding good, which is useful as we can’t use the pavilion.
James won the toss and decided to field and for the most part we bowled and fielded well, with the ball following the skipper around to hold on to three good catches and Luke Shaw taking a good running catch in the deep, which allowed Ted Quantrill to pick up four wickets.
Holcombe & Blue Bell Hill 153 of 36.3 overs – A Bunker 33, I Hayward 60, T Quantrill 8-0-43-4
In reply we struggled all the way down, with just 4 players managing to reach double figures and were bowled out for 60. I managed just 1 before being caught close in.
New Ash Green 60 of 23 overs – L Short 6-0-11-3, S Negus 4-1-23-2, R Baldwin 5-2-11-2 lost by 93 runs.

Claire has learnt to look after the plants.
Claire doing well. Standing on the dining room roof, not a bad view for a built up area, don’t you think?
Standing on dining room roof. Good view. Squirrel back again.

Global equity markets continue to benefit from the unpresented levels of stimulus measures put in place by global central banks and the loose monetary policies being undertaken by Governments. With interest rates appearing that they will be kept at record low levels for the foreseeable future the environment for equity investing remains positive even though certain parts of the market (large technology companies) are looking fully valued.
The expected result of the upcoming US election would normally be having a far larger effect on the markets but with the outcome too close to call, investors appear more focused on the recovering economy and the stimulus measures. A second term for Mr Trump should again be positive for equity markets with his business friendly policies, but even a Mr Biden win with his promises of higher taxes and increased regulation the outlook for shares does not appear overly dark.
At this moment in time, Apple are worth more than the FTSE 100.
