No thaw Thursday

Well there is thick carpet of frost here this morning but there is some sun! weak wintery sun, but at least it is having  a go at shining. Its not making any impression on the frost but it is early.



So now to the HOT cricket news. Oh dear me!!! where do I start............OK lets just get straight down to it. FIGJAM is ruled out for 6-8 weeks with a knee injury! OMG does this affect IPL? Well yes it does, he has withdrawn from his matches with Delhi Daredevils ( he will still pocket his £1.3m fee though, phewww thought I was going to have to send some food parcels), as well as being ruled out of the test which starts today. Once again I ask why half the team went out to NZ carrying injuries, and were still selected. Once again I ask as Achilles did in Troy 'IS THERE NO ONE ELSE?????'

Anderson also appears to be struggling with an ankle and back problems, Broad with his heel, Finn with constant mechanical breakdown and Bell with constant verbal diarrhoea. Oh woe is the England team. Time to call up Irani, Fraser, Atherton and Stewart. ( google if you don't remember).


Jonny Bairstow has been given the task of filling FIGJAMS shoes, and Jonny will do just fine.
Ireland are stilling charging on in Sharjah and are now 6 points clear of UAE in the Intercontinental Cup. #COYI

Its been a busy week for the Duchess of Cambridge who has been out and about since Sunday, yesterday she joined the Queen and Prince Philip at baker Street to mark the 150th anniversary of the London Underground.

Its been a busy week for , Lady Lainey too, what with actually having to do some work, and not just shout at 'Jo Bling and the crew of 2' and look pretty. However today it is so flipping freezing that I am going to be huddled in my office, with my heaters going drinking gallons of coffee and ignoring them.



NORTH EAST WEATHER WATCH

Flipping frosty, flipping freezing, flipping fur lined knickers today! Flipping forecast flurries of white stuff, with a ton descending tomorrow!.


So as I go to get the Lady Lainey limo out of the garage I wish you all a Happy Thursday.
