Week 213 – Apr 13th – Surrey v Somerset – Part 1
Today was the warmest day (20C – 68F) of the year so far and a lot less wind, so we went up to the Kia Oval to watch Surrey v Somerset.
Enjoy the pictures and more.

Week 213 – Apr 12th – Safe guarding
This afternoon, I completed another ECB course for safe guarding around umpires and scorers, as these are very important people to make the game enjoyable and safe. Plus making it run smoothly.

Another safe guarding course passed. -
Week 213 – Apr 10th – Cost of living bites again
Today we received a letter with our new home insurance renewal and the cost of living hits home again. It’s just complete madness, especially as we have never claimed on it.
From searching around, it appears there has been a massive increase in the last year and ours as gone up by 38%, which is around the average increase.
It’s the biggest increase by a long way that we have had.
The government are saying things are getting better, but the average person is not seeing it, as everything is dearer, even with inflation coming down. There needs to be ordinary people helping with making decisions and not MP’s on £84K and some with 2nd jobs too.
When will this end?

Week 213 – Apr 8th – NHS Loneliness survey
This evening I received an email from NHS, as signed up for Be Part of Research and was asked to do a survey about loneliness.
It was an easy survey to do and hopefully it will provide help for people.

Week 213 – Apr 8th – Milestones: journeying through modern life
This morning I received an email from Office of National Statistics which I thought was an excellent read regarding modern life journey.
Today we published our most recent version of the Milestones: journeying through modern life article. This revisits the key milestones in life that most of us experience, the average age people reach these milestones and how they’ve changed over time. These events are broken down by age and sex, and include:
moving out of the family home
starting full time work
moving in with a partner
having a first baby
first marriage
buying a home
peak earning
owning a home outright
retiring
So I’m sharing it here. – https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/populationandmigration/populationestimates/articles/milestonesjourneyingthroughmodernlife/2024-04-08
Hope you find it useful too?
