Personal

The highlight of the day happened around 07:00 when I poked my head out the door. A hummingbird was feeding on the railing flowers. I wasn't quick enough to get a photo, but here is one that shows what the railing garden looks like.

I'll try and keep at least some of the flowers going. Unfortunately when it comes to gardening I don't know what I am doing. But I love seeing the hummingbirds.

NUFC

Continued their unbeaten start to the season with an exciting 3-3 draw with Man City. Youtube highlights.
