Cricket ahoy!!!!







So today all flipping ready I have packed up lunch and tea, for Mr Funky the Chauffeur, Pauly Paul and I, Lady Lainey as we are going off to the cricket today, rain or rain!!

Durham did play yesterday but without the support of I Lady Lainey who took the opportunity to go to the shops and then take my monster children nephews to the shops, it is now getting closer to the time when Lord Christophe goes off to learn all things Architectural and so we managed to buy him some bits and pieces to make his room more homely when he goes. ( including a super picture of his besty Auntie  Lady Lainey in the whole world, what more could he want!)

So what did happen at Durham, well as you know for the past year I have been singing the praises of super polite boy Jamie Harrison who has been in the ranks of the 2nd XI nearly as long as Brath has! ( another bone of contention). However they decided to let him have a little go in the first team and flipping heck what a great decision that was, with bowling figures of  5-31, Surrey were really crumbling. Unless they pull something amazing out of the bag today I think that we will be home before tea! ( waste of time making the butties!).
Time to really have a clear out of the 'oldies' ( same moan every season from moi), and bring the youngsters up, and maybe bring Mitch Clayden back from Kent???????????????????? just a suggestion!

Down at the Oval, persistent rain stopped any hope of. play yesterday which meant that KP was able to 'tweet' all his mates, Joe Root was able to do his holiday homework and Ian Bell would have been working  on his victory speech ( cos he is bound to make one!). Better luck today.


Today also sees the Belgian Grand prix taking place, now you may have noticed that I have not been reporting too often on this, well if Baron Button was climbing up on the podium more then I would be, but sadly it is not to be, his car is letting him down and he is letting me down. Come on Jenson, Paul Di Resta is ahead of you on the grid and LH has pole ( I know where I would like to stick it!).
Unfortunately in 7th place next to Jenson on the grid is the lean mean crashing machine Romain Grosjean. Jenson move away form him as quickly as possible!!!!!


So time to head off to the shower to wash the orange curls and get ready for the off, can't keep Mr Funky waiting.

Have a super fabby day.
