  • Week 207 – Feb 29th – Wasn’t expecting that

    Yesterday I received a third email from the Kent cricket CEO, Simon Storey regarding the pre-season. In the email, he was thanking people that had contacted the club.

    I thought, why not contact them. I was enquiring about parking at the two grounds.

    This morning, not only did I get a reply from Simon, I also got a call from the Kent administration team, which I wasn’t expecting at all.

    I liked that they are responding and communicating with the supporters.

    Well done Kent and good luck for the season.

  • Week 207 – Feb 29th – 4 years

    Today is 4 years since I was made redundant, after 21 years of service.

    I can’t believe 4 years have passed already and that in that time, we have had a pandemic, the Queen passed away, my mother-in-law passed away, we renewed our wedding vows, a war broke out in Europe, the cost of living is crazy.

    That’s why you should try to live your life to the full, as you never know what is around the corner.

    Thank you to those that have commented or left a like on my postings. It’s very much appreciated.

  • Week 206 – Feb 25th – New plant

    Today we had a chance to clean up the garden a bit as the weather was reasonable.

    Claire had pointed this plant out before, but strangely, we only saw it at one garden centre.

    It’s called a Caprea Kilmarnock. We look forward to it blooming in the garden this year.

    Hope we get a good bloom from the Caprea Kilmarnock.

  • Week 206 – Feb 24th – Pot of gold

    We went down to Claire’s dad today, not long after we got back to his home, the heavens open and it poured down.

    Shortly after it stopped, we were able to capture this rainbow, looking out from the garden.

    Amazing colour.

  • Week 205 – Feb 15th – High blood count

    This morning I found out not good news and short live too.

    My dad blood count was high, so next week they are going to start him again on chemotherapy.

    So that good news didn’t last long, but dad said he felt OK in himself.

  • Week 205 – Feb 14th – Covid19 test

    Today I did my monthly winter Covid19 test and after what happened on Monday, I was pleased to see this come back negative.

  • Week 205 – Feb12th – Not a pleasant way to start the week

    No it wasn’t.

    Not sure what caused it, but I was hit by the Norovirus.

    Never had it before and never want it again.

    Completely knocked me for six.

  • Week 204 – Feb 10th – Tunbridge Wells Garden Centre

    Today we took a drive out to Tunbridge Wells Garden Centre, we decided to have something to eat here. The food had always been good, but today it seemed on a different level.

    I gave feedback via their website and this was the respond I got back.

    “Good afternoon Michael,

    Thank you for taking the time and sharing your feedback about your most recent visit to our store.

    I will be sure to pass on your feedback and positivity with the garden centre restaurant team.

    Have a lovely day and we hope to see you again soon!

    Many Thanks

    Ollie Muggeridge

    Customer service manager”

    I must admit, I wasn’t expecting a response this quick. I always like to give feedback, whether good or bad, especially as most people only like to give bad feedback.
