- I heard more squeaking in the walls of my garden office. I put down a couple of traps in the air gap underneath, and within an hour I heard two loud bangs. No more mice. Brutal but effective.
- H’s football team lost 0-5 in the U10s cup to Harlow. They’re having a rotten season, their first in the top division of a new league in which we’re certain they should be on the rung below. It’s not much fun losing almost every week.
- Meanwhile the rain has been relentless and have many local roads have flooded. I needed to do an embarrassing nine-point turn in the road to avoid killing my car by driving through a ford on the way back from H’s football. It almost makes me want to buy a big 4x4. Almost.
- Time’s relentless march is now targeting my eyesight. I rarely reach for my glasses, except when reading in bed, but even looking at my laptop or phone during the day is noticeably easier with glasses. So on Saturday, I ordered a couple of extra pairs to keep around the house. Next purchase, a Zimmer frame.
- And Arsenal did little to help my stress levels by only just beating Chelsea. It was hardly champagne football. As Andrew posted, Arsenal are going to win the league and it’s going to be a miserable experience whether you love us or hate us 🤞
