Had leek & potato soup followed by a jacket potato topped with the last of the madras curry and an oddment of mozzarella that was lurking in the fridge.

Am keeping an eye on the Arsenal v Zurich text commentary.

Is anyone else watching the wheelchair Rugby? What is the significance of the "ribbons" on the players' shoulders?

Tackling? That's how grandson plays Tag Rugby. I could be wrong, though, as I know nought about wheelchair rugby..

Yes, something about tagging as in Tag Rugby. Is there a significance in having six tags? The pitch is not getting littered with discarded tags.

I bought a ticket for the theatre tomorrow night.

It seems the new super-duper paperless environmentally friendly theatre ticket system recommends that I print the ticket myself

In other words they save money by not printing my ticket!

I think it's because in rugby league, each team gets a set number of tackles to move the ball forward before possession is turned over to the opposition.

May be totally wrong about the wheelchair version tho...

Anyways, Arsenal won 1-0 and now have a bye into the last 16 of the Europa League. I'll take that.

Absolutely hosing it down here in east Suffolk for most of the day - especially the bit while I was cycling to work. Add in to that a very strong breeze and I had to go up to level 2 assist on the ebike for the seafront stretch and even that was hard work.

Got sent out to do an inspection at a warehouse an hour and a bit's drive each way (not nice driving conditions on the A14), got backand found a sausage roll on my desk. Thank you management.

They apply an extra €1. Pre-covid, I used to just pay cash in the box office and avoid all fees. I was walking past it on my way to work. Now they've cut the box office hours to just a few every day and I don't have the chance to go. Best not to have customers cluttering the place up I suppose.
