'Baron' Button

Yesterday morning, I was sitting finishing off my Blog when my phone beeped. it was a text from Dame Didi. She had been waiting at her computer since 7.15am for me to publish my blog.( it was 7.35am at this point)......methinks she need to get out more, so best speed this up.

Another great Tykes day yesterday. Super besty home county of Yorkshire drew with Derbyshire securing themselves 11  points with Derbyshire gaining 6. This brings the Tykes ever closer  to Derbyshire and means that the remainder of the season is going to be jolly tense. #coyt #strongunit #topteam .
Also a jolly well done to Jonny Bairstow just 5 runs from his maiden Test century but, an amazing show of batting skill, well done Jonny!.

Over at the Test England, South Afirca start today on 145-3.

Former super besty home county of Durham, they won against Notts making 3 out of 3, however overall season total is ....................I went to the Durham CCC website to check the stats and realise that the results for matches haven't been updated since July 10th. Speaks volumes.

So you may be wondering what I Lady Lainey and Dame Didi did get up to yesterday. well we went out to have a spot of lunch, Dame Didi bought a wine rack ( ha ha spot the alchoplonky!). I nearly bought a new garden set but at the last minute decided not too, and don't ask me about the price of rattan balls!!!. Then we retired to Tykes Towers watched 'Bottle Shock' and  had ''sticky chicken and egg fried rice' for dinner and had a couple of shandies. ( OK maybe couple bottles of Pinot Grigio).
And now its Sunday and I have sooooo much to do, so best get to it.
