I used to play in a kids team where one particular player had to be the no 9, had to take all of the penalties and free kicks, had to score all of the goals, gave you a mouthful of abuse if you didn’t give him the ball. It didn’t help that his Dad ran the team. Whenever I see Ronaldo play I think of him.

It has given me unbridled joy to finally finish Wolf Hall. It’s only taken 3 years! An excellent book but a bit dense and not an easy read so I would often put it down and not pick it up again for months. I can now make a start on a small pile of Bill Bryson books I have accumulated recently, which is good news. (The not so good news is that I still have two massive tomes to wade through from the Wolf Hall trilogy).

That apparently is what she wants - to serve a prison sentence rather than cough up the money from future earnings.

The past few days this forum has brought me joy…

We have had the Carbage Rally stay in the village for the last couple of days. Never heard of it before but people from all over Europe pitch up in bangers that can’t cost more than €500 and are all done up. Hundreds of cars driving around the local villages with very loud and often very annoying horns. My favourite was one covered in fur with huge bunny ears on the roof. They have all left now but apparently will return on Thursday/Friday.There 1000 people from Holland alone so the local camp sites are happy.

Time to start the planes and boats for the grandkids' Christmas presents.

Finding a freshly opened conker. That beautiful shiny chestnut colour doesn’t last for long.
