How are we getting through it?

I ran screaming from academia to get away from stuff like that!

A lovely bike ride today where the temperature was perfect and I had some energy in my legs (for once). Really nice hour or so out and about.

When I left England had about 2 1/2 days to bat to at least try and get a win over Australia. They were doing OK so I thought they should do this. Upon return I was gobsmacked to see that they had collapsed all out in one session! Truly shocking.

On the grapevine I hear the England selectors have been in contact with the St Trinian's second 11 as possible replacements for future tests.

David Attenborough is planning a new documentary as a new species of invertebrate has been found 'Down Under'...

I feel we ought to symbolically burn something small & wooden, to signify the death of English cricket . . .

I thought we did that every year?

Delayed somewhat due to Covid, I'm now able to start re-decorating the hall, landing and stairs. Rather enjoying it (at present ) as I'm able to do things at my own pace rather than fitting it in around work and weekends. How long this lasts remains to be seen!

Didn't expect tghis - my surgery rang me yesterday to say they had a small thankyou for the marshalling. Got a £25 Amazon voucher and a medal. Not expected but very good.

[Matt J]

Well done Ian, much deserved

[Lord Kermit of Birkenhead]

Thanks Matt. Was totally unexpected, I was marshalling to do my bit, not for any reward. 

[Steve J]

Great to see that volunteers such as yourself have got some recognition and a nice little reward .

[Lord Kermit of Birkenhead]

Thanks Steve

[Leon]

Excellent news, congrats!

[Lord Kermit of Birkenhead]

Ta La

[Ithoriel]

Well deserved recognition. Well done, Ian.

[Lord Kermit of Birkenhead]

Thanks kid.

Indeed it struck me that the marshals at the vaccination centres are the somewhat unsung heroes of the effort.  Out in all kinds of weathers, helping people along and keeping things moving. Well done!

[T13A]

Wot Keith said.


Cheers Paul

[Westmarcher]

Didn't spot this earlier. Well done! 

(what medal is it?)

Brilliant idea

[Lord Kermit of Birkenhead]

Not out in much weather me, either hot or inside so didn't get wet or cold too much. Did get a sore throat friom all the chatting.
