Though it was still later afternoon, just after 4pm. I took these pictures of Waxing Gibbous moon.
I think they have come out pretty well, do you agree?

Week 193 – Nov 23rd – Autumn statement
After the chancellor autumn statement yesterday afternoon and receiving a document from my financial advisor. I asked if there would be any impact on us.
This was the response I got back –
“The NI cut will help Claire as of January. Should be a decent monthly difference to take home pay.
Savings rates are looking good, with Cash ISAs and Premium Bonds preferable (as tax is starting to touch on people’s earned interest). Largely, with inflation cooling as hoped, interest rates should have peaked, then we’ve seen some a very good turnaround this month for you portfolio (4%ish just during November) helped by some positive comments from the US Federal Reserve backed up by the Bank of England recently. So sentiment seems to have moved a lot and the outlook is improving. Fingers crossed for a better year ahead.”
Hopefully this will be case after a bumpy ride this year with the markets.
Happy to recommend my financial advisor too.

Week 193 – Nov 22nd – First Covid 19 test
This morning I did my first Winter Coronavirus (COVID-19) Infection Study (Winter CIS) test.
Thankfully it came back negative and filled out the survey.
Glad I’m doing this, as there is a rise with the virus due to a new variant.
Stay safe

Week 192- Nov 19th – Cricket World Cup final
So today was the final of the World Cup, which had been very poor defence by the defending champions England, just managing to scrape through to qualify for the Champion trophy in two years’ time. We can only play on flat wickets.
The final was between the host India and Australia, once again Australia triumphed thanks to another 100 in a final this year by Travis Head.
I had entered the ICC fantasy cricket competition and my goal was to finish in the top 10% of the people taking part.
I finished 11,247 out of 508,200 teams with 20,362.0 pts, winner was on 25,868.5 pts. So I made my goal.

Just by chance, I happened to go to the NHS app on my phone, as I noticed that I could see my blood results. They came back OK, which is a relief.
