Eddie obviously got my memo about playing three at the back. Pity he ignored it for Bournemouth but I’ll forgive him after tonight.

Last round of the Summer on Thursday to complete my tour of Northumberland, with a much delayed visit to The Northumberland Golf Club. A true, fair if slightly strange inland links around, across & within Newcastle Race Course. Glorious weather, deceptive wind - could do with some discrete signs.

Today some memories of a less than wonderful time and some points about how we have slid back in recent years. Changing schools is still a thing, and a thing tht needs doing.

So what this guy is saying here is because of decisions by the defence team the trial wasn’t fair. Which is absurd - it was a choice they made - fairness doesn’t come into it. My experience of medics is they sometimes believe they are experts on everything. Just sayin’.

Today is not going terribly well. I am being wound up by failing tech and moronic bureaucracy. But there will be calm. Here are some flowers.

This week at Newcastle United Golf Club - no connection to the football club, but also founded in 1892 as a “workman’s club”. The course was on the Town Moor - the common - where freeman have grazing rights. NUGC moved to the current course, on the bit known as Nun’s Moor in 1974. There’s a fence.
