Sun: Half a dozen sunspots. Sunspot AR3415 has a 'beta-gamma' magnetic field that harbours energy for M-class solar flares. (spaceweather.com)
Footy: Stoke lost 1 – 0 away at Millwall but we much the better team in the 2nd half. We just could not get that vital goal. The opposite was true in the Carabao Cup match against Rotherham which we won 6 – 1. A great confidence booster for the fans and new players. Our biggest win since we beat Liverpool 6 – 1 in the final match of the 2015 season. Steven Gerrard’s last match as well. Tougho.
Other News: Middlesex have been rubbish this season in all the various forms of the game. I might have to change allegiance to Surrey.
