Mid week and still raining

Just what I need!

Well in case any readers out of the UK were unaware, The UK is in a state of flood, I am surprised that this island hasn't sunk the amount  of water that has ( and still is) falling on an already sodden country.I am seriously thinking of trading in the Lady Lainey limo and buying an ark, that way I am well prepared for any eventuality. Which is more than can be said for my orange skinhead which is still causing me a great amount of concern.

The extensive grounds of Tykes Towers are waterlogged and The Deer Park now has a lake!!! Never bargained on any of this when I moved in! Luckily I think that the slugs may have drowned as I don't think they can swim, but knowing my luck they will be like cockroaches and be able to survive anything!


Well only three and a half weeks at work until we get to have a bit of R & R, I  put up the Sapin De Noel ( Christmas Tree) last night as I got a bit cross when I came home from super swanky Lady Lainey office due to the former tenant of my house, so I decided to channel the anger into doing something constructive. Well its a bit wonky and the decs are a bit 'all over the place' but I will sort it out properly at the weekend............or maybe I will just leave it, and start a new trend.

Oh dear, over in (not very wet) India its a case of same old, same old. Broad is now a concern for the 3rd test as his form is a cause for concern ( 14 wickets in the last 6 tests). Why concern now?????? when he is in India!!!!!  They should have looked at this prior to contracts being given .All things considered the team are not great ( regardless of what anyone says re KP, I expect he will be out for a very low figure in the next test). Finn is still not a definite for the test and so I ask, ' What is going on in the background?'

I am a true England fan however the team appears to be filled with (some) over rated players, others chosen via nepotism and seriously good players overlooked. Time to bring in a new broom.


OK rant over footy news The Mighty Whites won 1-0 and Birmingham drew 1-1.
