  • Week 186 – Oct 7th – Claire Covid 19 vaccine

    I took Claire to the doctor’s surgery to get her winter booster for Covid 19 virus.

    She can get this because she is in a high risk health group. All went well.

  • Week 186 – Oct 4th – Leeds United v Queens Park Rangers

    Leeds United 1 Queens Park Rangers 0 – HT 1-0

    Rutter (9′)

    The last 5 games have seen a good run of results, which we have need to make sure Leicester and Ipswich don’t run away from us.

    Leeds United moved up to sixth place in the Championship as they edged past struggling Queens Park Rangers at Elland Road.

    Crysencio Summerville’s cool finish gave Leeds an early lead as the hosts dominated the first half against the goal-shy R’s.

    Both sides found it hard to create any decent chances until the final 15 minutes when Patrick Bamford had a shot saved while Pascal Struijk also went close.

    Rangers could have salvaged a point with three minutes left but Illan Meslier saved a point-blank effort from Lyndon Dykes with his chest.

    The night got worse for QPR in stoppage time when goalkeeper Asmir Begovic was sent off for a tackle on Bamford as he went through on the edge of the box – although replays showed Begovic did not make contact with the striker.

    Summerville’s first goal since the opening day of the season came after some good work down the left by Georginio Rutter to set up the Dutchman, whose neat touch took him round his marker before he found the bottom corner.

    Again were struggling to score, with Bamford yet to score this season.

    Hopefully we can carry on with the positive results and close the gap on Leicester and Ipswich

    League position 6th after 10 games

  • Week 185 – Oct 1st – Waning Gibbous

    The Waning Gibbous on October 1 has an illumination of 94%. This is the percentage of the Moon illuminated by the Sun.

    As it was a clear night sky, (well there is some cloud around) managed to capture a couple pictures of the moon.
