Good afternoon everyone

Due to @Fan of Big Tone being on holiday, in his absence here is the weekly chat thread.

It's been a nice morning here with plenty of sunshine. Been out in the garden fixing our garden gate.

Will be watching the England v Latvia match tonight. Chance for England two notch up their second win in as many days

Good Morning. Looks like we had a little brain last night. This morning it is cloudy being Sunny intervals.

Come across this footage from Notts County History on X. 103 years ago today Notts were involved in an FA Cup semifinal against Huddersfield at Turf Moor in front of almost 50,000 spectators.

Notts lost 1:3 but the brief footage of the game is remarkable & shows the Notts goal.

 

Incredible footage from a different time.

@super_ram I agree, it was fantastic footage of a bygone time.

Huddersfield went on to beat Preston North End 1:0 in the final played at Stamford Bridge.

It was the first final to be decided by a penalty kick. It was controversial because, the foul was clearly outside the penalty area, confirmed by newsreel footage.

Apparently it was the last final before the opening of Wembley Stadium. 

Good morning thanks for starting the weekly chat @Robbie.

The weather has definitely improved as we cruise around the Canary Islands, so far we’ve done Gran Canaria, Tenerife and Fuerteventura, today we’ve just arrive in Lanzarote. Yesterday it was warm enough for me to have a dip in the sea. Today is forecast another sunny day and temperatures around 21 degrees.

Our holiday is half way through and tomorrow we’ll be sailing back north to Madeira then a day at sea before we reach Vigo in Spain followed by two days at sea and back to Southampton on Tuesday next week but we aren’t thinking about that yet there’s still plenty of good times to be had yet.

 

It's been a lovely day here. Wonderful spring sunshine. It was a beautiful day too have a long walk.

A two & a half hour walk & 15K steps later it was worth it. Getting some Sun too was a bonus.

It will be back in the garden tomorrow, if it is fine to mow the lawn & some hoeing too.

Nice to switch off the heating off for a change as it has been so pleasant today.

Lovely morning here. Having a nice sit our in the garden Spring flowers are blooming.

Looking forward to the Notts match this afternoon. Hope they can get a positive result today.
