If you get past Man City you will be away to Swansea/Nottingham Forest
Evening all
Wet and windy weather last night, rained all day, and wet and windy again tonight.
I hope your weather has been better than mine and you’ve all had a good day

I am on game 4 or is it 5? 🤔
I don’t know tbh
I’m not surprised you can’t keep count

I used to go to local matches and Scotland games when I was in my teens.
Having Mr Y and three sons who like football, I’ve watched quite a few games over the years.

What a strange and interesting phenomenon
Evening Yogi
Think all sport should be cancelled. Bar horse racing- you can monitor that
Hope you're keeping well - should have said that last night
Evening Velvet
I can see them closing down sport soon.
I’m not too bad atm, thanks. Hope you are taking care of yourself and keeping okay?
Goodnight and sweet dreams, Velvet, Ros and Moonie

Hi and bye Yogi
I think it was six games in the end
Quite a football watching family then?
Good morning everyone it's a wet and windy day to come. Disappointingly the cold wind is making it feel nearly as cold as last week.
Enjoy your day everyone
Good morning everyone
Very cloudy here. The night time temperature was 9° which was a lot higher than the day time temperature was for most of last week.
I hope everyone has a good day
I wonder if the Cheltenham/Man City match will be one of those the BBC show on television, the Chorley/Wolves and Man U/Liverpool matches are more likely. A better chance of being covered on the radio this time, there was none for the Cheltenham/Mansfield match.

I hope your game does get shown on the BBC show El
Good morning everyone
It rained all night here but is dry for now. The forecast is for a high of 7° with sunny intervals by lunchtime
I have to say it doesn’t feel so cold as yesterday
I hope you all have a nice day
Morning troops
Let's see what today brings. The surprise always lurks round the corner.
Is life normal - suppose it is now

It might get shown on BT Sport so I may not be able to see it.

I can’t find it on BT Sport or the BBC El

I think it's too soon to know which matches will get shown. Mightn't be until next week.

The Radio Times listings site only goes to Fridays and is generally changed once a week. So It should be updated early next week to cover Saturday 23rd to Friday 29th
The three largest known dwarf planets in the Solar System are Pluto, Eris and Gonggong. Before Gonggong was formally named it was given the nickname "Snow White".
Eris was named after the Greek goddess of strife and legend. Yesterday's episode of "Only Connect" mentioned the myth about Eris. As she hadn't been invited to a wedding, she decided to cause strife by tossing an apple with the inscription "To the fairest" at the wedding party so the the other goddesses could argue over who the apple was meant for.
So, afterwards I watched Disney's "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs"

Good morning everyone it's a drizzly morning maybe a little drier this afternoon. I'm glad you slept better last night Yogi.
Enjoy your day everyone
Good morning everyone

January is the busiest month of the year for accountants with the 31 January deadline for tax returns. I'm awating for approval from a couple of clients to file their returns but have done the work. I have the papers to do a set of accounts & return for another client. I'm waiting for the papers from another client though he rang me last week to say that I should get them this week.
That leaves one client who I had written to some weeks ago but haven't heard anything from him. He's the client I mentioned last July about an issue which I couldn't go into details. Haven't heard from him since so he may have decided to go elsewhere. I also do his wife's accounts which I did ages ago. I hope she doesn't go elsewhere - I have spoke with her in recent weeks and as far as I know she's staying.
A week or so I watched "Angel and the Badman" (1947). It's a film which gets shown from time to time on a film channel. It's a John Wayne western but not one of his typical westerns. He's the badman of the title, is injured at the start of the film, is nursed back to health by a Quaker family, the daugter is the angel of the title, and by the end of the film he's ceased to be a bad man. May be the only Wayne western where he doesn't shoot anyone.

It has rained all day. The gritter has been round but no sign of snow yet.
Thanks everyone. I slept till 5am this morning so another decent night’s sleep
I hope the lady client stays with you El, even if her husband goes elsewhere.

Hi Yogi
It rained here very early on. Then stopped and it went quite mild. Light rain currently
It’s not looking good here over the next week though. Rain, snow and fog with low temperatures by day and night
That’s great news
Hi Moonie
We had fog in the afternoon but it didn’t last long.
We have a weather warning for heavy snow. I’ve got an appointment with the nurse tomorrow so could do without it.

Oh, heck, I hope you get back from your appointment before it snows
