England have taken 2 wickets against Australia in the T20s. 8 for 2. That's an excellent start.
15 for 3! Excellenter continuation.
21 for 4. Excellentest!
52 for 5. More excellentest.
Bit of an Australian recovery but now 98 for 6.
110 for 7. 110 for 8! 119 for 9.
125 all out on the final ball.
If Australia lose this, they'll be so angry that they'll go on to win the final.

The window man has been to measure up the windows,we are one step closer to having them replaced.He says work has been mental,they are so busy,people have extra money due to not going away,but a story he told of his mum.Who had gone to Malta on a break before lockdown.Holiday makers who arrived after lockdown were made to stay inside their rooms and food and essentials were left outside the doors,and stay in their rooms they had to.What a start to a holiday.Anyway it looks like early December for fitting.

Blue sky mid morning so out on trike. Black clouds immediately rolled in and it rained heavily on me.
Just now heard some noise on my wheely bins outside the kitchen window. Hail.

Some twit on the radio says it is 55 days to The day in honour of the patron Saint of shopkeepers Christmas.

This one?

He is a twit though, it's 56 days, not 55.

He'll be right tomorrow.

If he doesn't carry on counting down from an incorrect number.

My arm is starting to ache. Strangely it isn't where the injection was .
I had a bit of a go at doing some more work on my model . At first it didn't seem as though I was making any progress . I was about to give up for today but I continued and gradually made a bit of an impression on the model . The right hand side is now beginning to resemble the left-hand side . I have put it away for the evening now .

I had around 24 hours of sore muscles in the upper arm (but lower down than the actual injection site) and a poor night because it was the shoulder that I normally sleep on. If it's similar, it eases after a day and then only hurts when you poke it. Which, when you think about it, you really don't need to do. Because if you need to poke yourself to know if it hurts that's only because it doesn't.

Had a good evening's yellow stickering in Tesco.

Came home with sirloin steak, ox cheek, stewing beef, sausages, basa, sea trout, breaded squid rings, cooked chicken, ham, pork pies, potatoes, pointy cabbage, mange tout, cucumber, spinach, strawberries, tortilla wraps and a job lot of bagels. The bagels were reduced to 8p a pack, would've been rude not to, really.

Oh, and I may have had a snaccident with a box of min spys...

Anyways, now a and some popcorn and MOTD on the telly.

Also been doing some homework re laptop.

It's now a toss-up between the Lenovo T430, which has an optical drive, and, for £50 more, a T460 with a much newer processor plus an external optical drive... Decisions, decisions...

@tyred, you're aware there's a yellow thunderstorm warning in effect over there.

Go for the built-in optical drive. You don't want to drag along another box and PSU when you go on holiday.......and you probably don't need a faster processor anyway.
Resist the terrible "I must upgrade" bollocks.
