2017 PART FORTY FIVE 04/11 -- 10/11

This week started off pretty well with the first round of the FA Cup getting under way, AFC Wimbledon managed to beat  Lincoln City 1-0 at home. Lincoln caused several upsets last season reaching the quarter final stages as a non league club so we did ok to scramble past them and now into the 2nd round draw on Monday evening. The Dons manage to draw Charlton Athletic at home and we will pray that the game is much more entertaining that the 1-0 defeat suffered at The Valley last month. 

Survived the bombardment of fireworks night and caught a bit of the action which was going off all around, however since they have been going off every night for the past month it's hardly a big deal now and to be honest will be pleased when it's all over. It's only the first week in November and the Xmas decorations up in the towns! I expect the M&S plus John Lewis adverts very soon, and it's a reminder that I'll need to start getting cards ready for posting to Australia as well since it's not just Christmas but plenty of birthdays too for the family. 

On a more personal note life has been a little better of late, at least the bank fees situation which was troubling me a lot appears a bit more manageable for this month and going forward too, let's get the winter out the way and a few bits and pieces in for few people then next year needs to be much different (Strange deja vu here I know) we need to at least try and make a change. 

So overall not a bad week, we'll see how we get through the next couple of weeks and into December, plenty of days off booked and need to find some places to go out on these rather than sitting around at home, we enjoyed a ride out around Windsor the other week so will check where else we can go.
