A new grandchild on the way - Sunday 4th December 2022

It was a lovely morning on Monday so kicked the week off with my 5 hills ride. Quite chilly on Tuesday but still did an extended version of my Playhatch loop. Along to Binfield Heath and back down Blackmore Lane. Bought some new gloves on the way back. England beat Wales 3 0 to top group B. We've got Senegal in the next round. They are the African champions so wont be easy. Had a band practice on Wednesday and went to see Gemma Rogers in the evening at the Face Bar. Sid Siddle who promotes stuff at RSAC had been pushing the gig and so it was free entry for me and any guests. The highlight for me was the second support act Jopy who I'd seen before at RSAC but this time they were amazing. I think the sound system helped. At RSAC they just have a pair of speakers for the PA. They had 4 pairs. Jopy are the singer/guitarist and drummer from the Keep Cats with a bassist. Uncle Peanut was also very good, a Reading rapper. This is Sid with his customary ruck sack.
Possibly had a pint too many so a lazy day on Thursday. Quite a day for the World Cup though. Both Belgium and Germany went out. There was controversy about Germany's dismissal, they won their game but Japan beat Spain and in the build up to their second goal the ball seemed to go out of play so the ref disallowed it but it was overruled by VAR.
But all that is irrelevant as we can announce that Sally is expecting. We've known for a while but they didn't want it known until she had her scan which was today.
Fantastic news. Went for a swim on Friday afternoon. On Saturday evening I was helping out with the sound for Tribute Night at RSAC. Its the first one they've had for a couple of years because of covid and the theme was Christmas songs. Here's the line up. Quite stressful doing the sound but very enjoyable. A couple of the artists turned up wearing masks and we disinfected the mics in between bands. On Sunday I organised the Society walk based round The Lord Nelson in Brightwell Baldwin. Watched England beat Senegal 3 0 in the round of 16 at the World Cup. It was quite easy after a slow shaky start where Pickford had to make a very good save. France next in the quarter finals.
