Wandering Stones fans. The arrow pointing the way. Sadly it was the way out of the competition for another season sign. – at Hillingdon, London

I'm somewhere in amongst the great, the good and the mighty. Truly honoured. Yesterday's result now pales into insignificance. – at Hillingdon, London

Me and her worshipful highness the mayor. Hob nobbing with the rich and famous now. Don't worry, I'm not going to change much. Just address me as Sir from now on. – at Hillingdon, London

Thanks @WFCSC1 for the honour of my lifetime. Wreath laid on behalf of the supporters club at the Ruislip memorial. @WealdstoneFC players from both world wars remembered. – at Hillingdon, London

Went through Baker Street station yesterday, an opportunity to pause at the memorial to all those who'd worked for the Met railway before their sacrifice. Includes my great grandad, my poor grandad was only a small boy at the time. Awful. RIP. – at Hillingdon, London

Dover War memorial, poignant, magnificent. – at Hillingdon, London

Old codgers probably passing around the worthers originals. – at Hillingdon, London

Great pubs in Dover. Had all the makings of a splendid day, ruined by a hapless display on the pitch. Bah. – at Hillingdon, London

Next stop France. D'over as the locals might pronounce it. It certainly was D'oh over for us. 2 nil to the frenchies. – at Hillingdon, London

The arrow was pointing back towards the station. Really in hindsight, the signs were there. Dover away. And ultimately Dover Loss. – at Hillingdon, London

Pub art. – at Hillingdon, London

Hear, hear. – at Hillingdon, London

Found a mark bottle. By this stage everything was flowing and I was assured victory was ours on the day. Epic wrong.

Dover Castle head shot.

He's French and he knows he is. Man of Kent.

What's he got on his head?

..And they are proud. – at Hillingdon, London

Just a few snaps from the hugely disappointing day in Dover yesterday. All started so well, with a liquid brekkie in St Pancreas . Tried to get a glass empty headshot. Could've been a metaphor for the match. D'oh. – at Hillingdon, London

Thrilled they went with my headline suggestion. Snatching victory after coming from behind, twice. An explosion of ecstasy at the end. My suspicions that the match reports are AI generated from social media pretty much confirmed. Glad that camera person @ronnieraffle is real.

FA Cup preparations sorted for Saturday. 100 blue balloons. That's an awful lot of puff, lucky I'm full of wind, me. Up The Stones! Flying high. If I had the wings of a sparrow, etc. Cup fever. Dover (a). – at Hillingdon, London
