Beautiful warm weather yesterday for another Paul Talling / Derelict London walk - Minories to Poplar, ending up for a few hours at the Manor Arms, Poplar. Some familiar faces, and a few squares of Paul Talling walk bingo ticked off 😁. An excellent walk.

Bath Rugby 40 Exeter Chiefs 34 (HT 26-10), a full house at the Rec. 6 tries to 5. A game that Bath seemed to have firmly under their control until the 2nd half started, but found themselves behind by the 55th min, then wrestled the game back their way. Not fully firing but hey - 10 points out of 10

Very much enjoyed seeing #bayeuxtapestry today @britishmuseum.bsky.social & catching up comprehensively with Kumar. TBH being with him was important as our conversation passed the time as we queued from our start time for 65 mins. The pace of the progress along the Tapestry itself was about right.

FA Cup 2RQ Replay; Chippenham Town 2 Yate Town 1 (AET); att 515. 1 man from each side sent off after 30 minutes, Chippenham went ahead 2nd half through Ben, Yate equalised almost immediately through ex-Bluebird Marlon Jackson, & Felix won it in ET. 3Q game is at Cray Wanderers

FA Cup 2; Yate Town 0 Chippenham TownFC 0; att. unannounced. Neither side created a great deal in 1st half, & I missed 2nd half due to Kevin's dislocated shoulder (that's not a confidentiality breach, it's already in the match report. Wishing Kevin a speedy recovery. Replay Tuesday

First CPFC group Europa League game, vs Lech Poznan. A satisfying 4-0 win, though looking shaky at the back at times. Lech Poznan fans very good, kept singing, phases of flag, flares, shirtlessness, & of course (despite not scoring) 'doing the Poznan'. "On our way, on our way"

Surrey's last home game of the year, v Glammy. I always feel sad at the last home game, at saying goodbye to my lovely Peter May Boys (and other Rey friends). But maybe a little less sad today as this season has been hideous on the pitch and I'm pleased to see the back of it.

NL; Sutton United 2 Eastleigh 1 (HT 2-0); att 1490. Enormous energy & quick passing took the U's into a 2 goal lead. They couldnt keep that up & Eastleigh fought back. Should been 3-1 with a late pen but stuttering run up led to good save. 3 good points banked, 6th with a no-draw start (WWWWLLLW)

And congratulations to Mr Grumbler for his double century. Take a new guard and set off again....

2 more CC rounds to go, it's coming to the boil in the 3-horse race for the title and in the stable full of old nags trying to stay up. And the Grumbler is the man with the links to all the info you need.

This lunchtime, Sound Knowledge Marlborough, another date on The Meffs' 'Business' launch week record shop tour (tonight, Nantwich!), & Lily & Lewis nailed it. A very intimate gig, spilling out into the street, where at one point Lily went out to start a mosh pit. Great stuff. #themeffs

SLP South; Bath City 2 Chippenham Town 0 (HT 2-0); att 1699. The A4 derby, hugely disappointing. Rather subdued atmosphere (rail engineering works didn't help away attendance) & CTFC v poor. Not enough fight. Have to improve. And soon. #chippenhamtown #prideandpassion #bluebirds

Sussex v Surrey at Hove, CC. After last week's thriller v Yorks, a match which, though it had some fascinating passages of play, ultimately drifted to a draw. Surrey grinding their way towards safety. However, I had 3 great days there. The Sussex hospitality was superb.

FAC1RQ Replay; Havant & Waterlooville 1 Chippenham Town 3; att 352. Good performance. Great Olaf FK for 1-0, hosts levelled, then home player sent off, then flukey goal by Joel, fantastic saves by Jack, & sealed by Felix beautifully in early added time. Next round Yate Town away.

Is it another week in September? Then it must be another crucial round of the CC, and who better than The Grumbler to give us all the info we need?

FA Cup 1st Round Qualifying; Chippenham Town 1 Havant & Waterlooville 1 (HT 1-0); att 422. Frustrating. Created so many chances, some gilt-edged, but only Marley Rose's good 12th min finish to show for it, thus leaving them vulnerable to Uche's 89th mibln wonderstrike. Replay on Tuesday it is.

County Championship, 2nd to 4th September, Surrey beat Yorks by one wicket in scenes of extraordinary tension. One of the most exciting games of cricket I have ever seen, & happily I was there for every ball of it. Josh Blake heroic County Championship, producing thrilling cricket again & again.

As we head down towards the finishing straight of the CC (hoping cricket rather than rain decides the issues) here's all the prep you need.

White Rabbits everybody, happy meterological autumn (reminder: 10.30 starts for cricket) to you all. And hoping for surviving poxy Transfer Deadline Day without devastating damage to #cpfc. September was under threat, December has gone, October and November are OK.

SLP South; Malvern Town Chippenham Town 2 (HT 1-0); att 543. The boys did well to turn round the deficit, though 3rd red card in as many away games. We survived the Alamo this time. Good to get the win and climb to 16th. The backdrop is beautiful, the people were friendly.

SLP South; Chippenham Town 1 Berkhamsted 2 (HT 1-1); att 506. Minute's applause before start for ex-Chippenham Town player Quévin Castro, 25, who v sadly collapsed & died playing in Portugal a week ago. Very disappointing result. Bottom four is definitely not where we want to be.

Day 2 Essex v Surrey at Chelmsford. Warm welcome in Board Room from Jo, John B and John L, with Fletch there as well. Dean Elgar inevitably scored a toln. We fought back well, with 6-fer by Chahar, but 4 wickets lost by stumps means we need 2 days of solid rain. Grim.

Marilyn Monroe: A Portrait, at the National Portrait Gallery. A comprehensive collection of images of the tragic icon Marilyn Monroe 1926-1962. In the last 8 days, I've been to Emin and Monroe exhibitions, and we lost Dolly. All had childhoods with difficulties one way or another. Very good.

'Rock Island Lives' at e?Eel Pie Island Museum then talk at the Twickenham Club. Event celebrating the 70th anniversary of music starting to be performed on EPI, initially a jazz club then also blues & R & B. Most famously Rolling Stones played there often, as did many other famous 60s bands.

SLPS; Chippenham Town 1 Yate Town 1 (HT 0-1); att 813. V good crowd for midweek (Yate prob brought 200). CTFC pretty awful 1st half, conceding from a corner in 45+4; then much improved 2nd half, hit bar, saves, glaring miss, then Martell Taylor-Crossdale shot home in 90+3. Fair point overall.

Huge pleasure to have Becky as my guest in the Committee Room at the Oval today, for One-Day Cup match against Kent. Our oldest rivalry, dating back to 1709. Great crowd of 6872, & ultimately a comfortable win for the Rey. Becky had a good chat with John Salako. #surreycricket

National Village Cup SF. Goatacre CC v Blackheath CC Surrey. Sadly not to be a 3rd appearance in Final for Goatacre after winning in 1988 & 1990. Well beaten by 127 runs. TBH Blackheath always seemed that bit more chirpy & energised. Good luck to them in the final vs Cuckney CC

Had a wonderful time in Sedbergh. There's a threadbare squad (17 [SEVENTEEN] lost to the Dumbdread, at least 4 lost to injury) playing for Surrey CCC in the Metro Bank One Day Cup. And yesterday, playing very well and achieving a rather surprising win in gorgeous surroundings.

Great (though very hot) fun at the @dublincastle.bsky.social this afternoon, where @attilastockbroker.bsky.social & John Otway revived moments from 'Headbutts & Halibuts'; then in part 2, a revival, 35 years on, of 'Cheryl - a Rock Opera'. Offensive about CPFC, Rotary Club, Tories & Satanists 😁

Enjoyable occasion at the Oval, 2nd Women's T20 WC SF, England v South Africa. Great atmosphere, record crowd of 21,128. England were in big trouble at 23-3, but Sciver-Brunt (75) & Knight (58) turned it around with a partnership of 156. SA never came close. #englandcricket

The new #carterusm football shirt is based on the colour scheme of '1992 The Love Album', of course, but is also reminiscent of the Bosnia & Herzergovina flag since 1998 . An extra reason for me to buy it - a tribute to my great Mostar trip in February with #cpfc

After yesterday's debacle, life stirred for #surreycricket. On an enthralling & v hot day, they managed to bat, following on, all day, from 82-2 to 398-9, a slender lead of 145 runs. A ton at last from Rory. Probably won't be enough, but definitely a huge improvement.
