2019 DIARY WEEK FORTY FOUR 28th OCT -- 3rd NOV

Opening this week with a couple of days off, Monday went out to Hammersmith for a ride, managed to get a lot of things done and then returned via Richmond. Cold out, no money, very fed up indeed. Still it was good to go out, will survive the month hopefully. Then on Tuesday all being well can meet with Ken and Cathy for lunch in Richmond. Got a bit of cash to get me through hopefully I can be ok this month, have birthday and Christmas cards for Australia and will send them away end of November, but aside from perhaps Graham, Pam, Vicki I don't think I'll get many more this year, simply not in the mood at all but at least made a start on it and as long as the family ones are sorted that will be fine for the time being. Tuesday was good had a couple of drinks which seemed to go to my head but lovely to see both Ken and Cathy and she also brought her doggie Jasper. Nice few hours peace and quiet then managed a bit of shopping on way home.

Back to the office on Wednesday will see what I have missed there, written up other blogs too for the weekend (Football and NFL) plus have drafted ones for racing as well later in November. Truly buggered things up now, although might still just about get away with it, this is not cool at all, behind about £25 need to cover this soon. Struggled through Thursday too and clearly all is not well with me, asked work for pay rise but not expecting anything dramatic on that front (would be nice though) right now looking to get through the coming three weeks or thereabouts. Rugby World Cup final on this Saturday morning England vs South Africa, bit of football later on and the NFL on Sunday will keep us occupied I hope this weekend. Rugby was disappointing with England losing 12-32 to South Africa and the Dons can get out of the bottom three with a win against Lincoln but we drew 1-1 but that was still enough to climb out of the relegation zone at the expense of the club stealing franchise ha ha ha.
