What a flipping day!



Blinking heck it was only Wednesday yesterday and the middle of the last working week for I Lady Lainey but what a flipping day it was.

It started at 8.00am when I arrived in super swanky Lady Lainey office to find that there was no milk!!!! YES no milk for my coffee, so after a lot of shouting, Pony Paul went out to get some!. It could only get better couldn't it?

So at 10.30am I settled down to keep a beady eye on Twitter re the Yorkshire/Sussex match. The flipping 'wireless' in the office was playing up so that meant that we couldn't listen to TMS so had to listen to Pony Paul killing popular music on the local radio station #earplugstoday.

Hi Royal Ryanness was off the blocks like Usain Bolt and took the first maiden over, he was the pick of the bowling though and secured three more scalps under his belt towards his 700 total. Liam Plunkett and Kane Williamson took two wickets apiece. Although Sussex were trying to rack up runs it was rain that thwarted the first days play. Hopefully there were some doughnuts left from tea to cheer the boys up when the match was cut short.
Today they need to get the Sussex boys out before they are fully awake and then rack up some batting points. So endeth the training talk!


Former besty home county of Durham were at Derbyshire where they managed to spend some time playing cricket but more time playing cards! Chris Rushworth took a wicket which will have made Daddy Rushworths journey worthwhile. Hope he has a TV and WiFi in his hotel room this trip! #scarbadostriangle .

Rain also affected the ODI at Edgbaston were only 15 overs were bowled. Not a great day all round for cricket.

Matthew Hoggard also made lots of headlines yesterday by announcing his retirement. Everyone was talking about his great contribution to cricket and what a great player he was, but the only thing I remember about him was he always had 'bad hair'!!!!

However I do admit that he was a great player and sad to see him leaving the arena.

Today however is a sad day in the life of Dame Didi ( yea right!!) as Eldest monster child, Lord Christophe flies the nest, yes he is off to Uni, and going to be an Architect and design his besty Auntie Lady Lainey a super swish house in homeland of France.

Good luck Lord Christophe and don't be doing too much of the 'drinking thing', I am the only one in our house allowed to do that!

Well time and tide waits for no man ( and with the amount of rain that has come down in the last few days that should be 'time and tidal wave'), so I am into Lady Lainey limo and off to the office for last day of shouting, swilling coffee, looking pretty and filing my nails, until the end of September!!!

FLIPPING YIPPPEEEEE!!!!!!
