So grateful for your insights into the food of the Black Boy @nottsnutter the menu sounds really appealing as myself and Mrs P really enjoy genuine pub food, her favourite being gammon and mine scampi and the trimmings, including garden peas ( a definite must have). Once again thank you for your report. 🤠

Good morning one and all, guess where i am once again?? Chest infection 4 antibiotics 0. Happy days. Nice one @Fan of Big Tone i hope you get pleasure out of every single mile. Would you recommend the Black Boy at Heage @nottsnutter hope you had a lovely meal and meet up? You will find Boa Vista a lovely place with very friendly happy people. We were lucky enough to go there in December 2024 and had a great holiday. Have yourselves a wonderful holiday. While we were there a sandstorm in the Sahara gave us an extra 3 days as aircraft couldn't land or take off. Happy days 😎

Not a very good start to the day, sat here in hospital having antibiotics pumped into my arm and a nebuliser on my face. Woke in the night struggling to breathe, I have had a chest infection for 5 weeks now, seeing the doctor and getting antibiotics and when they did nothing was put on a different type, hence them not working and me being here. Hey ho, it's got me out of stable duties and shopping so can't be too bad 👍😂

Great to see your son enjoying the half marathon @Fan of Big Tone 2hrs 20 is a great time. The last time I ran it i just managed 2hr 27 so well done. Happy Anniversary to you both @nottsnutter for Thursday, hope you have a lovely meal. Nice memories of the Beatles at the Cavern Club and the focal point of a great song Eleanor Rigby @Piethagoram wonderful thoughts and happy days, where have they all gone?

Arrived back in the UK safe and well thank you @Fan of Big Tone hope that your son enjoyed his run this morning? Good bit of business @Piethagoram rail travel is one of my favourite modes of travel, so relaxing and puts you at ease with no driving. 😊

Hope your son has a great run @Fan of Big Tone the weather looks good for a good time. On our way back to the UK this morning after a fantastic break. Leaving Lovely Lanzarote till the next time. Adios

Highland Cattle @Piethagoram Mrs P's favourite of all in the bovine field, it made her day. Thank you once again. 🙂 @StarkMallard sound like you have some work to do, all the best with your studies. Reminds me of being in a similar position when taking my Fire Service promotion exams, a little hard study and help from workmates pulled me through, didn't have much left on my fingernails though, and that was only the written part. Back in the day you had to pass a practical assessment also, marrying the two up for a pass and possible promotion. 🥴 Sometimes you have to be thrown in at the deep end @Fan of Big Tone to enable understanding of these new types of vehicle. I had a similar experience with a Toyota Yaris but with no assistance, so 10 minutes of self teaching and Mrs P chewing at my ears and we were off, still don't know the proper way to drive one. 🤔 🚘 Not my cup of tea I'm afraid, I'll stick with my Discovery and automatic gears.

Good morning one and all, i hope that you are all well and enjoying the lovely weather in blighty. Here is the view from my sunbed, warms the cockles of my heart. Once again a day busy with catching rays and the odd dip in the pool. Have a good day everyone 🤠

Thank you again @Piethagoram Kew Gardens looks stunning at this time of the year. I must admit that the natural world gives me so much pleasure to see, hear and smell, you could lay me in a field and I would be happy 😊 A room with a view ✨️ 😍

@Fan of Big Tone Tracey says thanks for the birthday wishes, she had a great day. Been to the Spa today thinking that a head, neck and shoulder massage would give me a little respite from the headaches, WRONG, still as annoying as ever. Never mind worth a try. Mrs P loved her full body job and thinks she might try it again. Must admit the facilities are first class and probably need revisiting. Back to the suffering game of horizontal hovering under the sun. 🤠

Sadly once again we failed to make any inroads when on top. Toothless up front and as for Longelo, he wouldn't set foot on the pitch for me ever again. To stand and watch while Nesbit waved goodbye and created their second is unforgivable. Much work needed during the international break me thinks.

A very good morning from Myself and Mrs P the birthday girl 🥳 here in Lanzarote. The temperature has been forecast up into the mid 20s for today @Fan of Big Tone so happy she will be. Roast beef and Yorkshire puddings, a meal to cherish 😍 Great to hear that you had a catchup chat with @super_ram keeping him on his toes. Sounds like a foodie link today with @nottsnutter marinading his pork for tomorrow. Enjoy when it is ready my friend. Off now to take part in some serious sunbathing, have a great day everyone. 🤠

Morning one and all from a sun drenched Lanzarote 🌞 Nice one @Piethagoram not my tipple, but it's the thought that counts. 🤔 We are south of Arrecife, just below Puerto del Carmen at a small place called Puerto Calero. The hotel is called Costa Calero. Very nice place for families, young people, and the older generation. A beautiful Marina sits to the south of us, where dad Moors his Yatch. Have a great Sunday everyone 🤠

Morning all from our island in the sun 🌞 we arrived last evening to a beautiful hotel and were shown to our pad for the duration. What a lovely welcome, a bottle and two glasses 🥂 Safe journey home @Fan of Big Tone drive carefully. I hope you get those mince pies sorted, sooner rather than later. As for @super_ram you take medication for a reason, so don't deny yourself dear boy. Thank you once again @Piethagoram for the beauty of Europe and the introduction of ways to view. Magnificent.

Where are the mushy peas @Fan of Big Tone it completes the tasty trio. 👌 On our way, arrived at EMA and parked. Now checked in and made our way to the Escape Lounge, settled and having lunch. Belly full (lovely veg madras and rice) waiting for instructions to board. Happy days 🤠🍻

I think the new deal through to summer 2029 is a significant statement from the Reedtz brothers. Paterson has won 28 of his 61 matches since taking over in June 2025 and, importantly, delivered promotion back to League One at the first attempt through the play-offs. Notts have also made a steady start to life back in League One. My view is that the length of the contract is less about saying "everything is perfect" and more about giving Paterson and the football department stability. It also protects Notts if his reputation continues to grow and other clubs start looking at him. The timing is interesting too—coming just after the Bradford defeat, rather than waiting for a long winning run. That suggests the owners' decision is based on their assessment of his overall work rather than one or two results. And knowing how the Notts owners tend to operate, I wouldn't read the contract as meaning they will tolerate poor results indefinitely. It is more likely to be a vote of confidence in the long-term project. The really interesting question for me now is: where do the owners and Paterson think Notts County can realistically get to over the next three years? That's where this contract becomes particularly significant.

That sounds like a profession I could of enjoyed, good luck to him, then world is his oyster once graduated 🎓 👍 Apple crumble and custard is a must, it's sacrilege to have it without, my Mother would turn in her grave if she knew i was having it without. 😵‍💫 Care is a commodity that's well founded and something to cherish. Happy Birthday @ARLukomski have a great time in London. 4 day working week is the future, I did it for nearly 30 years and enjoyed every minute. @Piethagoram good business done there, enjoy the trip. We love Eurostar and have been to Paris on it, had a great time. Managed to upgrade on the outward journey, living like Lord and Lady Pie. 🤴👸 Nice one @Fan of Big Tone you and Mrs T look well settled, Carry on and you will need a crane to get the pair of you out when the bubbly hits the right spot. Enjoy the rest of your break. 🥳🍾🥂

@Fan of Big Tone have a lovely break and enjoy the Lincoln lunch. 👌 @nottsnutter get stuck into them chores, and the nightmare of buying grandchildren presents for the dreaded day. That's funny as it's also the lowering of the ears ceremony for me too, ready for Lanzarote Thursday. Enjoy Reading on Saturday. 🥳 @Chris what is Jake studying for at Uni? Give super my best wishes when you chat to him please. Apple 🍎 crumble is my absolute favourite pudding, don't forget to save one for me please 😋 curries are very nice also 🥘 As for me, no sunshine, a little drizzle and this 👎 They have started the process of preparing the ground for all the infrastructure to be put in. The noise is rather loudish and getting on ones wick already. Happy Days ahead me thinks 🤔

I thought Jacob Bedeau was one of our steadier performers defensively and looked composed despite Bradford putting us under pressure. Bedeau had a really solid game — strong defensively and one of the few County players who looked consistently composed. I must admit Finneran came a close second, making himself available, with the skill set of a seasoned pro and the nous to put things into practice, great game and a positive future.

Guess where we have been today? My little friend who visits every morning. Then a little trip to a track near a windmill. So where do you think 🤔 @Fan of Big Tone i see you have gone for the luxury side of things, I hope you and Mrs T have a great time. @Piethagoram it's surprising how memories are triggered by events that raise the hairs on the back of your neck. I was on shift at the Fire Station and we all stopped what we were doing after hearing over the tanoy what was happening. The Silence was unbearable.
