Week 282 – August 3rd – England v India – Part 1
Going up to the Oval for England v India, 5th and final test, day 4.
Claire took picture of an unusual cloud formation on the way to the cricket today So, the 4th day of the test match and England were chasing to win the series, 3-1.
On arrival at our seats, I wasn’t expecting to see this, thankfully it wasn’t our seat, but the row behind us.
Then looking around, it looked like the cleaners hadn’t done anything. I spoke with the steward, and they recommended that I reported the issue, which I did online. After a while, I thought this might take a long time, so I asked if I could report this in person, they recommended that I went to the pavilion.
The first question on arrival outside the pavilion was I a member, I said no, why did you want to see someone, I showed the picture and the person panicked, he did not know what to do.
In the end, he let me into the pavilion and to the reception, when I got to the desk, I was asked how they could help, and I just showed them the picture. The man on reception was taken aback and asked where this was.
I explained that and he said that he would get it sorted out.
I walked back to my seat, and no one had come, a steward supervisor came up and I told them. Then I looked down to the front of the stand and saw the receptionist approaching. I thought that was decent that he had come round to see the situation.
In the end, it was an hour after initially reporting the issue, that the cleaning team turned up.
Just after it was sorted, I got a phone call from the team regarding my online request. They apologised for taking so long to get back to me, I’m just glad that I had dealt with it in person.
Now on to the cricket.

Week 282 – August 2nd – Superman
This evening, we went and saw the new Superman film at Bluewater.
I must admit that the film was much better than I thought it would be. Some excellent effects and lots of action. Recommend seeing the film.

Week 282 – August 1st – Met Nick regarding driver license
After the doctor’s appointment, I drove over to Speldhurst to meet with Nick, so that he could sign the paperwork, that I could get a photocard driver license to move into the modern world lol.
In all the years I have known him, I did not realise how much he was interested in cycling. I was shocked to see how much a bicycle could be and even a frame.
See you don’t know everything about someone.
