Feel certain Keir Starmer and The Labour Party will relent on #WinterFuelPayment. They've made the point re Tory financial black hole and can find money elsewhere. (Also need to make claiming pension credit easier - 24 pages long.) This, well put by Dominic Minghella, is a good strategy.
It was always a pleasure and a privilege to appear on Garry's Sportsweek programme BBC Radio 5 Live on Sunday mornings, and on BBC Radio 4 Today if I had a book out he liked the sound of. We'd also exchange Non-League chat, given his love for Woking Football Club. A gent and a giant of a broadcaster.
Back at the The Royal Marsden NHS Foundation Trust for more blood tests this morning and having a coffee ahead of getting the results. In flies a robin and perches right by my table. V likes to make an appearance now and then, to reassure and watch over me.
Watched the last 15 overs of Somerset Cricket v Surrey Cricket on live stream. Saw only 8 runs, leg byes and byes and none off the bat. But it was the most gripping cricket I've seen for some while. Terrific stuff. #CountyChampionship

I like the guy who does the Hungerford Town FC X feed. Bit of wit alongside the nuts and bolts of updating the game.
