Sunday 16th November – West Brom 0-3 Chelsea

We awoke latish and had a brunch and then did a few household chores. Noel caught up to date with Blogs and photos and Jen read her Bourne Supremacy Book which can be a difficult read, I know as I have read it.

Around one pm Noel turned on the TV to see if there was any UK football and blow me, starting in two minutes was the West Bromwich Albion against Chelsea, the full match. So that was the afternoon gone. Anelka scored twice and suddenly he appears to have regained his form as earlier in the season he missed so many open goals you could not believe. It was quite a good game but Chelsea sealed the game in the first half with three good goals and from then on WBA could not do much whilst Chelsea sat back and just contained them until the end of the match.

This was followed by the beach walk in the wind again but always enjoyable. It’s quite noticeable that the exercises from the physiotherapist are beginning to have a positive effect on Noel’s left leg and walking is becoming much easier. He has another appointment tomorrow so let’s see what she says this time.

It was time to have a Sunday Roast again and this time we had shoulder of Lamb which was excellent and together with a glass or two of Villa Maria Cabernet Sauvignon/Merlot was most enjoyable.

They have just started showing the ‘River Cottage’ series here with Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall, we like this programme as it’s not an ‘in your face’ type cooking show. There is an interesting fact that if more than five families wish to do home farming and grow vegetables that they can approach the local authority who are obliged, by law to make unused land available free of charge. The next programme was a documentary on an American Airlines aircraft crashing at Little Rock Arkansas airport. Quite interesting to see how pilots get so wrapped up in trying to land when obviously the conditions are against them that they forget their landing drill. Great!
