General life story
Can’t believe its 40 years since the 1st Beverley Hills Cop and Eddie Murphy hardly looked any different, though the other two main returning characters, you couldn’t say that.
Instead of 1st showing in the cinema, this was on Netflix.
I didn’t realise until looking into, Eddie, he didn’t like the 3rd film.
It was ok film, made for an enjoyable evening, before the big match tomorrow night.
This afternoon, I signed a petition regarding toll prices for using the Blackwall tunnel, which has been free for over 100 years and now they want to charge to help pay for the new SilverTown tunnel, which I don’t see of any benefit to or a lot of people.
I doubt anything will come of it, because Khan seems to get way on anything and everything. Especially when it involves grabbing money of people..
But as they say, if you don’t try or do something, you don’t know.
As the weather hadn’t been brilliant since Thursday and for the only time of the year, a grand prix race is shown live on free to air television, we decided to watch the British Grand Prix.
What a race it was with 3 British drivers taking the top 3 grid places, which hadn’t ever for the British Grand Prix.
The race was great as there was a lot of overtaking and especially the final result, as Claire favourite Lewis Hamilton won his final British Grand Prix race as a Mercedes driver and was his first win in 945 days.
Even on the television, the noise of the crowd was incredible and Lewis was very emotional.
Great race and result.
Claire had a day off today, so we decided to go up to Ruxley garden centre for breakfast.
Had a good breakfast and went back to the car to go elsewhere and NO. The car wouldn’t go into gear, like what happened in January.
We checked in the manual after what the car mechanic had shown me and I pressed the button to reset the car, but nothing happened.
So I called the RAC to send someone.
After x amount of time, the car lost all power, thankfully this time we were parked on a flat surface, so no fear of rolling.
I tried the reset button again and the power came back, but the car wouldn’t respond.
Left it for some time waiting for the RAC to turn up, then I thought, why is the car camera working and Claire’s phone charging?
So I tried to start the car again and this time everything worked. Phew
The manual recommends that you drive for at least 30 minutes, so we took a drive, cancelled the RAC.
We stopped after about an hour to put petrol into car, and thankfully the car started again after it had been fuelled up.
Why has this happened again, especially after the long drive yesterday to Norwich?
The small wins keep coming for us on the national lottery.
As the jackpot wasn’t won, it was a roll down to all the other prices, which meant as well as winning 2 lucky dip tickets, we also won £10.
Is there a big one around the corner?
Well the Conservatives took a right bashing in the general election, not surprising after the party gate scandal, the handling of the pandemic, then the mess of Liz Truss leadership, followed by the cost living crisis which they didn’t really help with at all.
The worrying thing, is that this was the second lowest turnout by people to vote, don’t they care about the country?
It shows voting is important, as 7 of the constituency were by won less than 100 votes.
So a Labour government after 14 years, good luck and I hope we can see some help for the people.
So today was the general election. I think it was earliest I’ve been to vote, it was pretty quiet at the polling station.
The reason we went early, was that we were traveling to Norwich for a funeral of Claire’s mum best friend who had passed away last month.
Thankfully the weather and the journey were good and the funeral went of very well, the church was packed with a lot of people standing.
RIP in Anne.
We seem to be on a small roll with the lottery recently regarding small wins.
A lucky dip and £30, maybe a big one around the corner, we can only dream.
This morning, I believe for the 1st time for us, a National lottery lucky dip ticket win from the previous week won £30 pounds this week.
Nice way to start the Friday and the weekend.
