Great day at the footy yesterday as guests of Aberellis Flooring. Lincoln beat Leyton Orient 2 – 1 and our box was in prime position to see both Lincoln goals, albeit one of them was a cracking own goal by the Orient defender who immediately buried his head in the turf in shame. He he he. The only very mild disappointment was that we only won 2 – 1. I had a tenner on Lincoln to win 4 – 1. Thought I might as well spice up the day a little.
After the game went with @Si, @Adie and Coops to the Millers for a beer and thence to the Tiny Tavern just down the High Street. Not been there before. Beer was v good. We squeezed onto a table with a couple from York called Chris and something beginning with M (sorry M – I can’t remember – beer played a part here). The day finished early at perhaps five o’clock, remembering it was a 12:30 kick off and we were at the ground by 11:45. Z very kindly came to pick us up. Early to bed.
This morning I was up bright and early to make the tea and be ready to deliver THG to her marshalling point on the corner of Higson Road and Burton Road. Right down past the barracks. No traffic around and ROAD CLOSED signs everywhere but I’d done my research and the roads where I needed to go didn’t close until nearer the start of the race and was able to drop the girl off exactly at the right place.
Next up was to drop @Hannah and @George off near the start. Our Joe had already set off to run there. Back to the house, a bit of lunch sorting then out with Tom and John to watch the three of them run past us on Nettleham Road. We were stood outside St Barnabas Hospice.
Now back home, roast in, veg ready to go on and fire lit. Decided we would have one more fire this year as it isn’t the warmest of days out.
The new Raised Beds cam continues to deliver with overnight recordings of hedgehog, cat, fox and muntjac. Had to rescue Brian again after he was pushed into the lake by the fox. Either that or he jumped in to escape the fierce predator.
