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.

Week 204 – Feb 6th – Good news
Found out this evening that my dad was in remission from his myeloma cancer. Which was fantastic news.
They will continue to monitor him, but this is brilliant.

Week 204 – Feb 6th – ONS standard of living survey
This morning I did my yearly ONS standard of living survey via a telephone call.
I think it’s good to do these things as it as an input to what’s happening in country, especially the last 18 months with the crazy cost of living.
It helped I had a good rapport with the person doing the survey.
Some of the questions are weird, but as I have done this for a few years now, they have some of the answers already.

Week 203 – Feb 4th – Pet Shop Boys
This late afternoon, we went to the Cinema to watch the Pet Shop Boys in concert from there Dreamworld tour of last year and this year.
The concert was from Copenhagen July 2023
It was enjoyable way to watch a concert in leather recliner seats and a good atmosphere.
They were on fine form with all their greatest singles.
Fully recommended.

Week 203 – Feb 3rd – One is NOT amused
We were due to go up a few weeks earlier, but something came up.
So today we travelled up to London and to Bonhams auction house, to see items that would be up for auction from the Netflix series The Crown.
On the website, it said that tickets were available, but not required to enter.
So we were not amused to see a sign at the entrance, saying “ticket people only could enter”
There was hardly anyone queuing, so we joined, but we got to the entrance, was told only ticketed people were allowed in. We checked the website whilst their, but no tickets were available.
Considering the queue we had when we saw the Freddie Mercury auction items to here, there was no crowd at all.
Why did not say that on the website?
One (two) were NOT AMUSED.
