Is Mildred buying you new hats her way of keeping you away from the hat lady? I reckon Anna will be getting a visit next year when you have nobody riding shotgun.

Ah yes! Ting the hat lady. Not seen her for a while. But not to worry as she is saving herself for me. Too busy at the farm to go on the wander at the present. Will try to visit Anna's Cafe though. Be a shame to go there alone.

The hat that Mildred bought me is on me head as I type this post. Bit like one of those skull caps our Jewish brethren wear. Hope my ears don't get burnt when I'm out in the sun later today.

The Owls have an easy match today. TBH, I was shocked to see the PNE result. I reckoned after grabbing a point at Boro, they would march on. The harder of the two aways I thought.

Orient continue there run of good form. Five wins and a draw from the last half dozen. Only leaders Brum can match that.

I am already fearing the worst for Aveley village (National league Sth). Disappointing to see only 700 at the game, for the local derby with Hornchurch (which is little more than a village, but within a much bigger catchment area). They have it all to do getting out of the relegation zone. Also in that lowly mix is Enfield Town; a team i have connections with as I played for their predecessors many moons ago. Enfield Town FC is interesting, as it is owned by the fans. I wish them well for 2025.

Windass scored probably the best goal of the year on the first day of the year. But it was a lot closer than the scoreline suggests, could quite easily have been 5-5. Great game for the neutral mind. I tried to upload it but it's to large, well worth searching for it though, truly great goal.

Here you go Owl, not sure if you can view it or not. The other Owls goals arent too shabby either but we rode our luck and the defence is all over the shop at times. Just not enough there for play offs, but we're into January transfer window now so who knows.
