  • Week 162 – April 19th – Finally got a reply

    I chased today, as I had no response regarding the reductions in visits to the recycling centre I posted a view week ago.

    This time I got response very quickly.

    “Dear Mr James,

    Thank you for your email.

    The Fair Use Policy decision has been called in which means that the decision will be discussed at the Council’s Overview and Scrutiny Committee meeting in more detail. This means that the implementation of the decision will be postponed.

    We will respond to residents who have raised questions regarding the new policy after the Scrutiny Committee meeting which will be held on 25th April at the Civic Offices.

     Kind regards,

     Asya

    Asya Mircheva”

    Let’s see what happens after the 25th April?

  • Week 162 – April 19th – Blood pressure

    I visited the doctor surgery today, to hand in the newly requested blood tests after last week’s doctor call.

    Next call now, not till the 9th May.

    So those results will be no good.

  • Week 161 – April 15th – Lemon drizzle.

    We took a drive out today to a garden centre in Tunbridge Wells.

    Of course we had a stop in the restaurant and I had slice of lemon drizzle with a cup of coffee.

    Is this the reason, why I can’t back below 18 stone?

    Cake
    Lemon drizzle. It was yummy.

  • Week 161 – April 13th – Bexhill on Sea – Part 2

    Bexhill
    War memorial. I thought this was very cleverly done.

    Food
    Good old fish and chips at a lovely restaurant along the coast line.

  • Week 161 – April 13th – Bexhill on Sea – Part 1

    Though the weather wasn’t great, we drove to Bexhill on Sea. It was defiantly windy there, but at least dry.

    The price of parking seemed reasonable as well, compared to the last time we visited.

    Nice memorial for those that passed away to Covid

  • Week 161 – April 12th – Biggin Hill

    Today we spent time with Claire godson Jack and took him to Biggin Hill. It was quite a miserable day, and during the time we were there, only one aircraft took off and none landed.

    We had a nice lunch and company.

  • Week 161 – April 11th – Breakfast brunch

    As Claire was off this week, we decided to go to Ruxley garden centre for a breakfast brunch.

    As always good service and good food as you can see.

    Breakfast
    Yummy.

  • Week 160 – April 9th – Leeds United v Crystal Palace 

    Leeds United 1 Crystal Palace 5 HT 1-1

    Bamford (21)   Guéhi (45+1), J Ayew (53, 77), Eze (55), Édouard (69)

    Assists –

    Aaronson (21) Schlupp (45+1), Olise (53, 55, 69), Hughes (77)

    This was a dreadful performance, god knows what happened in the second half. We just can’t stop leaking goals and with it being so tight at the bottom, I can see goal difference being very important.

    This is not looking good, especially with the fixtures in May that we have.

    Crystal Palace staged a remarkable second-half turnaround to give a significant boost to their Premier League survival hopes and leave stunned Leeds with plenty of work to do in their own bid to avoid relegation.

    The Eagles scored four goals after the break with Jordan Ayew – in for the injured Wilfried Zaha – scoring two in an incredible demolition of the home side.

    Such a victory looked hugely unlikely after Patrick Bamford’s 50th goal for the club gave Leeds the reward their early dominance deserved.

    But from then on it all went downhill as Marc Guehi flicked in an equaliser on the stroke of half-time before Palace scored two goals in two minutes soon after the break.

    First, Ayew made it 2-1 with an excellent header before Eberechi Eze added a quick third, poking in from Michael Olise’s pass.

    Odsonne Edouard drove a fourth into the bottom corner following a quick counter – with the excellent Olise providing the assist again – and Ayew completed the rout late on when he lifted a shot over Illan Meslier, prompting many Leeds fans to leave.

    The stunning win moves Crystal Palace up to 12th in the Premier League, six points clear of the relegation zone, while Leeds are 16th, just two points above the drop.

    I really do fear for us with just 8 games to go, where in the same position as last season, but this season we are leaking goals and not scoring, which we weren’t last season.

    League position 16th after 30 games – After 30 games last season, Leeds were 16th.
