Took Madeline for walk on Friday morning and went for a swim in the afternoon. On Saturday J n A went to the wedding of some friends in Cheltenham (who aren't spies) so me and M had Madeline all day. The longest she had been without her parents. Went OK, gave her lunch, took her into town, had dinner and then gave her a bath.
Put her down about 7 30. Unfortuately she woke up 15 mins later. URZ lost 3 0 at Hull but are safe from relegation. Heard that Anne and Wynn have got covid and Richard has had it. Tom also came over for Josh's party. Played with Madeline in the garden on Sunday moring.Then popped down to Blue Collar Corner for lunch/brunch. It was pretty good I had a boa with grilled veg. Me and Tom then went down to Whitehouse studios with Tony to see if it would work as a trio with Tom on drums for the Mansfield Rd Jubilee party. It went very well. M cooked a really nice roast chicken dinner. We then rounded off the evening watching Prisoners.

Did the ride out along the Kennet and back through Mapledurham on Tuesday morning. Not done it for a while. They seem to be widening the road though the Mapledurham estate. I can only assume its for the festival. Lazy day on Wednesday. Went for an early morning swim on Thursday followed by a band practice in the afternoon. We took part in a quiz in the evening at the Foresters with Malcolm Smith, his wife Teresa and a friend called Simon. We didn't contribute much as there were a lot of popular culture type questions but still came 3rd. Madeline has taken to drink.Went for a swim on Friday afternoon then Tom and Sally came over so we fired up the pizza oven for the first time this year. Sally had covid when they came back from Bordeaux a couple of weeks ago. Found a baby robin in the office and took it outside. We saw it being fed later by an adult but don't know what happened to it. URZ beat Sheffield Utd away so are 9 points clear of the drop zone with 4 games to play. Went to Sue's 65th in the evening at Theale village hall. On Sunday we did the walk round Lodden Brewery and met up with the Wise clan for a couple of pints. Had slow cooked roast lamb after. Unfortunately me and Tom overdid it a bit later on which caused a few issues the next day as he was on fit state to drive. I went to watch URZ make and amazing come back against Swansea from being 4 1 down to drawing 4 4. We're 7 points ahead of Peterborough and both have 3 to play and 11 ahead of Barnsley who have 4 to play.

Went for a swin on Thursday then it was first Thursday drinks and as JR had a signifcant birthday on 1st he chose the pub which was in fact a pub crawl. Possibly had one too many but made it home safely on my bike. As a result had a long lie in on Friday followed by another swim. Madeline was enjoying reading with her aunty and grandma.Dave and Alice came over late Saturday afternoon so I didn't go to watch URZ but listened on the radio. They were 1 0 up but didn't turn up in the 2nd half so lost 2 1. The other bottom teams either lost it drew so we're still 8 points clear with one less game to play so in a slightly better position. Had good evening with Dave and Alice. They left late Sunday morning as they were going to a lunch in Windsor. Did a couple of hours gardening. Madeline's weaning is progressing.
