Cambridge and Llangollen - August 2023

Did my first bike ride for a few weeks on Monday out to Maker Space with Kelvin and Stuart. Went to see Andy in the afternoon. Slight improvement from last week. He can now put on his glasses and scratch his nose. Also use his ipad with voice control. Jeannie and Jess were also there. Went to watch URZ v Cheltenham with Ralph on Tuesday. Something strange happened, we scored a goal and they didn't. It was all a bit odd. Continuing with football on Wednesday I watched the Lionesses beat the Matildas 3 1 to get to the World Cup final for the first time where they play Spain. We got the train to Cambridge in the afternoon and unfortunately M either lost her phone of had it stolen between Paddington and Kings X. It had all her cards in the wallet as well. We managed to cancel everything and order a new phone and sim but it was all a bit stressful. In the evening we went to a very large Italian restaurant where we were the only customers. Food was fine but it was odd. In fact it was all a bit quiet but was lively during the day. M went to the university library on Thursday which was the purpose of the visit.I went for a walk along the river as far as Baits Bite Lock. About 12 miles in all. I walked past Cambridge Utd's ground, the Abbey Stadium, it only has a capacity of 7937 as opposed to URZ which is nearly 25000. Came back more or less by tube. Thameslink to Farringdon then the Elizabeth Line. Got a voice activated WhatsApp from Andy on the way back. Meanwhile James visited Edith but first impressions weren't great.Went to the hygenist on Friday then drove over to Anne and Wynn's. Wynn cooked a fine fish pie. Did a walk down to The Sun in Rhewl then a mini pub crawl in Llangollen followed by a meal at The Boat at Erbistock. On Sunday we watched the Lionesses lose to Spain 1 0. Spain played  better I thought and deserved to win but iy was still a pity. After we walked into Llangollen, had a couple of pints in The Cornmill and met up with Wynn's son in law Scott. Then went back and had a BBQ followed by the hot tub
and then cards. Got a smiley photo of Edith with her dad.Drove back on Monday. Great weekend.
