Bryn…

 Great day out with Bryn! Thank you my lovely ❤️

Nearly October…

News just in: Nobody in Britain can believe it’s nearly October.

Preserves: Quinces, Sloes, Apples, and Pears…

So Stuart and I have been busy today; turning fruits of our early autumnal foraging into sloe gin, apple sauce, pear sauce, and lots and lots of yummy quince jelly. 😋

When I’m 64…

When I was a 6 year old I first heard this song. I never thought this day would come. But here we are. 😆

 

Port Vale 0 - 2 Arsenal…

Made the trip up to Stoke last night to watch the mighty Arsenal play in the 3rd round of the Carabao Cup. 

First Arsenal goal for Eberechi Eze saw our £60m summer signing scored inside 8 minutes against Port Vale in the Carabao Cup. He nearly had a second before the break but was denied by Joe Gauci.

Vale, newly promoted to League One, made it tough and almost equalised through Devante Cole late on.

Leandro Trossard struck late to seal a 2-0 win and set up a fourth-round tie vs Brighton.

New Eurostar EU entry-exit system…

Breaking: New Eurostar EU entry-exit system…

This from travel guru Simon Calder @SimonCalder 

“From 12 October, Eurostar rail passengers from London to Paris, Brussels or Amsterdam must have proof of medical insurance, hotel booking, sufficient funds, and a return ticket before being allowed on board.

Accommodation, financial resources and a ticket out are long-standing Schengen area requirements. But now French ‘Police aux Frontieres’  have introduced an additional demand for proof of medical insurance - which applies even if you are travelling nonstop through France to Brussels!

France is the only EU nation demanding medical insurance from “third-country nationals", such as visitors from the UK, US and Venezuela.

Must also cover "expenses in the event of death".

Eurostar entry-exit system kiosks are programmed to ask if you have:

• Accommodation booked
• Enough cash
• A ticket home
• Medical insurance

Passengers tempted to answer "yes" untruthfully to any of the questions are warned: "Your answers are binding, you may be asked to provide proof."

Brexit just keeps on giving, n’est-ce pas?

Port Vale…

Port Vale, we’re coming for you!

Romans: a Novel @AlmeidaTheatre …

Last Friday night I went to see Romans: a Novel at Almeida Theatre in glitzy Islington with Stuart.

Alice Birch’s brain-twister of a play is a three-headed monster of masculinity, swerving from Victorian brutality to podcast cult lunacy. Kyle Soller snarls, Oliver Johnstone seduces, Stuart Thompson shatters, and together they drag you through 150 years of damage and desire. The design is both time machine and fever dream. Still in previews but already a riot.
