On my way home, I passed Andy Day (from CBeebies “Andy’s Dinosaur’s Adventures”!), the brilliant Pete Judge (from “Three Cane Whale”)… and was then almost run over by an absolute idiot on an e-scooter travelling well in excess of 20mph along Coronation Road (6mph is the legal limit on cycle lanes) while I and several other people were waited for the lights to change at the Gaol Ferry Bridge crossing!
Moira and I had our usual morning coffee update session… and then I spent the rest of the morning contacting Virgin Media about our missing Catch-Up facility! In the end (after ‘hanging on’ and then talking though my problems with two ‘operatives’ (actually they were both very helpful), after 75minutes, the problem was finally resolved (amazing/slightly frightening that they can manipulate data/devices online remotely etc!).
Sadly, 75 minutes was about how long England’s second innings lasted (all out 81!)… and they ended up losing to India by 10 wickets just after tea/dinner (it was a day/night game) on the SECOND day of the Test Match. What on earth has happened to the game of cricket I used to know?!
I spent a little time sketching a boat (sadly, only from a photograph) from Cumberland Basin immediately after lunch… followed by watching (via catch-up!) ‘Blitz Spirit With Lucy Worsley’ (90 minute documentary focussing on the lives of six people who lived through the blitz in Britain) – which was really very impressive (and quite illuminating).
