Sun: At least 7 sunspots including active sunspot AR3088. It has returned after a two-week trip around the far side of the sun. In August, Earth dodged a fusillade of CMEs from the explosive spot, So it hammered Venus instead. The returning sunspot seems to have decayed since we last saw it, but it may still pose a threat for strong flares. So far in 2022 we have had only one day with no sunspots.
Cricket: After a dodgy start owing to inclement weather, the third and final test in the series England v South Africa got underway on the third day. It was all over fairly quickly with a 9 wicket victory for England.
Footy: Stoke were due to play but the game was cancelled last Saturday. They play away at Hull and then again at QPR on Saturday. Too much to hope for two wins even with a new manager.
Stop Press : Stoke City beat Hull 0 – 3. Wow!! And it was on Sky TV, I watched. Now for QPR on Saturday
