Apparently Lee Mason was supposed to be the 4th official at the Blades versus Liverpool game last night but was “injured”

If anything happens I hope it's behind the scenes rather than in public
The Professional Game Match Officials organisation is responsible for match officials for professional football. It appoints the Select Group of referees for the Premier League (& FA Cup and EFL Cup). In due course they'll be looking through the match reports. Also all referees are evaluated by former referees for things such as accuracy and consistency.

As always, you are a mind of useful information El. Thanks for that

Various sightings of a meteor seen yesterday:

And a later news item where it seems that the meteorite fragments may have fallen to Earth just north of Cheltenham:

Evening all

We had fog until 11am, then it was sunny and very chilly.

Nothing exciting to report, just did housework in the morning and read in the afternoon.

Love the white rainbow

Hope you’ve all had a good day

Good morning everyone

It’s a cool, dry start to the day. The weather forecast for today is, overcast changing to sunny in the afternoon with a high of 6 degrees. It could be worse I guess

Have a super day folks

Moonie, could get a high of 10° here if it becomes sunny, no sign of that at present.

I’ve just been outside to reclaim my household refuse bin. It really quite cold out there

It's not a warm day here either

I'm waiting for my old green recycling box to be replaced. May arrive some time this week or early next week. It's plastic, the old box now has a hole at the bottom of one of the sides and there are cracks in the base near that hole. It would only get worse if I continued to use it. The collectors tend to throw boxes down once they've removed the contents,

a green wheelie bin for garden compostable items (emptied on alternate weeks to the black one)
a green recycling box for items such as plastic bottles and tins, or, alternatively, glass bottles & jars (some houses have two such boxes, I have one) (emptied every week)
a blue sack for paper and cardboard (every week)
and a brown caddy for food waste (every week)

Not good for anyone who is colour blind

Didn't have to buy the garden waste wheelie bin, but pay £44 each year.

I was well into birds when I was young - talking 6/7    Remember when a doc was out and I insisted on p tarmigan  

It's littered with finest hours  

Hope all are okay. Computer, swans, tiddlers     

What's the point?

@velvet

I’m not usually on till 8pm (ish) but wanted to reply to your post.

The tiddlers are fine and happy to be back at school - I think they both missed the company of their friends.

They know that Granny has had her first jab and they can’t wait till I get the second one and we can be together again.

I hope all is well with you

Evening all I’ll be on later tonight. Hope you are all having a good day

Velvet, my computer seems to be okay now that the hard drive has been replaced Also moved from windows 7 to 10.

We know of Penguin Books and a couple of their other series - Pelican and Puffin. But during the 1940s they also published a few puzzle books, mainly by Hubert Phillips, under the banner Ptarmigan Books. My father had many books including a shelf of puzzle books and I remember seeing one of those Ptarmigan Books many years ago.
