Maybe this will help:

I was looking at the Isle of Wight today. I escaped down to the south coast.

I always get nervous when someone mentions the IOW ... my headset disintegrated, fully loaded up, Karrimor panniers, tent etc. on Ventnor Hill (going down). Someone was smiling on me that day.

I can't wait to go down the south coast

It's one of the advantages of being retired. I was at Wittering sands, which apparently is super busy during the holiday season but midweek in February is pretty quiet.

Oddest thing I saw was an elderly lady with 2 elderly dogs with 10 crows following her on the beach. The dogs took no notice of the birds and the birds took no notice of the dogs, and the lady didn't seem to take any notice of them at all. She must have been feeding them for years on her daily dog walk to get them to do that. But any feeding that there must have been was over by the time they strolled past.

Bacon sarnie for supper, followed by a rhubarb and banana crumble & custard.

The bulb in the street lamp just outside my house has finally been replaced. The last one went just before Christmas and was supposed to have been fixed by January 19th.

Whew... We scraped that one... What is it with us always getting someone sent off? But three points is three points, and I'll take them how they come.

A lovely luncheon of Filet Americain* on toast, plus an orange, half an avocado and two

* Filet Americain is raw steak mince mixed with chopped onion, chopped parsley, capers, mustard, mayonnaise, salt & pepper.

You know we do not eat raw steak o'er here.

Arsenal tried very hard to shoot themselves in the foot again but failed, luckily. Did well to hang on for the win though. Bizarre sending off. I thought it would be Xhaka or Partey to get their marching orders though. They were both on a tightrope.

I was actually worried about the Wolves game because they weren't far behind us in the table. We're nicely placed now with games in hand, so let's hope they don't blow it. We haven't got a bad run in.

It's what it's called in Belgium.

We are making a rather horrible habit of that, aren't we? I had my (proverbial) money on the draw, actually.

I have acquired another photograph for my archive.

Yes, and another worry is that we have got more red cards than goals in 2022. For a team that ISN'T dirty that's not good. I think they will offload Xhaka in the summer. He's a good player but gets booked FAR too often for my liking.

I forgot to put my Orange bin out last night.

Not dirty, but prone to a bit of brain fade sometimes...
