Start of the Big Birthday Bash week

Yes it is the start of the week and the countdown to the Big Birthday Bash, no not mine, silly billy's, besty friend in the south is having a birthday this week and I am going to surprise her! I am super excited and it cannot come soon enough, as it has been a while since we had a birthday bash, ( well 20th July to be precise!).


So was there any need for celebrations yesterday at the Ashes test? Well I suppose so if you are a great fan of Bell ( of which I am not,too much loving himself for my liking). However he did score a century which helped England who were 49-3 at one point. He was 105 not out at close of play ( of which I saw none due to being super flipping busy all day at Tykes Towers). The Australian bowling appears to be getting stronger and they had a few surprises for England players. Trott was cruising along at 23 and was surprised by a bouncer from Harris. However Lyon is still an unknown quantity for England and a great addition to Australia.
TBC..........


And so to the YB40 matches yesterday . Besty home county of Yorkshire were away to Leicestershire and sadly lost in what was a very close match My super Tykey Vikings were 228-7 in their 40 overs and they even had a Robinson playing ( we flipping well get in everywhere). Sadly it was not enough and Leicester made 232-7 with a ball to spare. Now that must have been some match.

The match in Glasgow with former besty home county of Durham against Scotland was interrupted by rain which brought  in the D/L system meaning that Durham won by 8 wickets.


Warwickshire were hosting the Netherlands in a YB 40 overs match and lost!It must have been a close one as Netherlands won by 5 runs.


So what was I Lady Lainey up to yesterday, well after my lie in, I was washing, hanging it out, bringing it in ( rain), hanging it out, bringing it n( rain) leaving it indoors.
Doing a spot of sewing and then FINALLY putting up the last curtain pole and rehanging the curtains.
Then it was lots of dusting and hoovering to get the house into tip top order, before crashing out on the chaise longue for a well deserved nap!.

Oh yes and I also did a fair amount of cooking too!!!

So today I am back in super swanky Lady Lainey office with a full compliment of boys to shout at, however only for one day, as Job thye jolly goes off on his jollies tonight!!!
