M was on University Challenge in the evening. They were up against Strathclyde. They were always ahead mainly because she got the first 2 starters but it was close until the end when they pulled and won by 175 to 110. Lots of positive comments from all over including on YouTube. On Tuesday morning had a zoom meeting about the RCC website. A bit of a nightmare as it keeps getting hacked so quite a lot of effort required trying to prevent it and fixing if it happens. Went for a walk with M afterwards. In the evening went to my first Reading game. It felt quite safe as it was quite sparsely populated in GU9. A wore amask to get in and out butnot many did. They've changed the South Stand so the away supporters are on the west side. It was quite crowded down that end as we were playing Bristol City. 0 2 down in 14 minutes but it was quite an exciting finish as it got to 2 3 with about 10 minutes to go.
There's been a lot more reaction to the University Challenge episode including this.Did the ride along the Kennet and back through Mapledurham on Wednesday afternoon. Lots of boats on the Kennet and Southcote lock closed for repair so lots of boats moored down stream after Fobney lock. Saw a grassnake. Preparations for Reading Festival well underway including the campsite near Mapledurham. Popped into The Last Crumb on the way back. Had been warned off it by the FT guys but seems OK. Got back about the RCC website and said I dont want to take it on until the problems are sorted out but would be prepared to help with that. Went for swim on Thursday morning. Had a bit of a late night watching Our Friends In The North. Went for a swim on Friday afternoon. On the evening noticed Nubya Garcia was on BBC4 at The Proms so watched that. It was very good. Rick and Jeanette came on Saturday. Jeanette had a bit of a cold so they had done LFTs before setting off (both -ve) and checked with us it was still OK to come before setting off.  Took 'em to Sweeney's in the evening where we haven't been for ages. Did the Lodden Brewery walk in the afternoon on Sunday followed by pizzas. Jeanette took a turn for the worse, dont think its covid though.
