Snow better today!

When I woke up at 5.30m this morning I was convinced that I had slept in, it was so light outside, when I peeped out of the blinds I saw that we had more snow overnight hence the completer brightness outside. Why on a Monday? why on the day when super swanky Lady Lainey  office is sub zero.  Well I am going under the stairs to get the Hunters out and donning the thermals again. Jolly flipping cross as it is only a matter of weeks until the start of the cricket season and I sure ain't sitting out in temperatures of -5. Well I probably will!


Over in the cricket in Sharjah Scotland were again defeated by Afghanistan in the World Cricket League Championship, this is the second time in three days and means that they draw level with Scotland in second place on the league table. The two sides face each other again in Abu Dhabi at the three day  Intercontinental Cup which  runs from 12th- 15th March

Apparently there has been some 'bribing ' taking place in the England team, Cook and Anderson has told Finn that they would  each ship two cases of wine to his home. This was all to do with him going in as 'night watchman' It was a case if he made it to lunch and a case if he made it to tea. Now I wonder how the thought of cases of wine turning up at your home for playing good cricket ( which is why you were selected in the first place???) would fire you up and NOT the thought of playing for your COUNTRY  Maybe I have it all wrong. Maybe they should get sponsored by some serious wine merchants or vineyards. Maybe they could spend their downtime talking to vineyards in NZ!! #justathought.

Also as I have been waiting for the 'breakdown' of Broad I am now 'shocked' to hear that good old FIGJAM could be out with a knee injury ( not from getting on them to grovel to his team mates last year I doubt!). Oh dear me is this going to impact on his 'other' commitments or will he sit out the remainder of the tour to get match fit for IPL???? Ever the cynic!


NORTH EAST WEATHER WATCH


Flipping freezing, flipping snowy, flipping dismal and not looking better for the rest of the week. When the weather forecast says that the temperature is -2 but feels like -6 you know its going to be a rubbish week!!!

So Hunters, thermals, 20 layers on and 'the Michelin woman' is waddling off to get into Lady Lainey limo to try to get through to super swanky flipping freezing office.


If those boys haven't got in there will be BIG trouble!!!

Hope that you are warm where ever you are.
