Wembley

So Brentford have another go at reaching the rarified zones of football- the Premier League – today.

So according to the BBC the game is worth £160 million- significant then from that point of view, but also would be the first time since 1947 that Brentford played in the top flight. A lifetime or more.

It also seems that the Bees are favourites.

In the end I had access to a ticket for the game but had affirmed with Isaac that I would go to watch his rugby match – after all his training. So Percy is now going in my place.

I will be watching Isaac and then trying to find a pub showing the game in east London. Hopefully not a problem.

COYB.

Ham

A visit to a new garden yesterday. As with these things I have known of its existence for many years but never took the time, effort or cost to go and see.

So a trip with Shaz, cheaper because of RHS membership, to sunny Surrey on the 65 bus.

Beautiful, interesting and very relaxing with a pleasant walk along the Thames to Richmond high street at the end.

Back home

Joe is now doing his enforced quarantine in Auckland having left the UK on Thursday. Two weeks of limited movement in Ellerslie Novotel.

He left from Heathrow on Thursday with tears all around.

So back to Kiwiness for the more Kiwi Quirke and a new adventure with Victoria University and more familiar features of Wellington life.

Go well.
