It's going to be a scorcher...........

......and I have to go off to super swanky Lady Lainey office, considering that a couple of weeks ago parts of the UK where still having snow, and now we alternate between baking hot and freezing cold, I am wondering what the flipping heck to wear!.



Well off we all went to cricket in Mr Funky the chauffeurs big blue tank thing. The super Lancashire fan was there ( man wearing hat with big red roses on) as well as some 'jolly chaps' in the far stands in fancy dress. Sadly for I Lady Lainey the lovely Oliver Newby was not playing although he did come on for Prince briefly ( NO NOT THAT PRINCE!!!). Durham went out and scored  297-9 in their 40 overs.  I have to say there was some good batting. Lancashire sadly couldn't match them although the tail end did put up a brilliant fight and although Durham won, Lances scored  258.

My Tykes were in action against Gloucestershire and sadly they lost!!!

Which is exactly what England did too, losing the series. Even Joe Root couldn't help them out of this one, BUT this is not a call up for KP. and this is the last time that I will be mentioning him this season!
Trott scored 1009 but England did bat poorly and  were dismissed for 273, NZ had made 359-3.

Moral of the series............never rest on your laurels!

Ricky Pontings great display at Surrey sadly didn't bring on a win and the match with Derbyshire was a draw.


So the week moves on and Yorkshire are at Scarbella this week although sadly I Lady Lainey won't be there at the weekend due to Mr Funky going to GOLF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Durham have a little trip down to Taunton and hope that they keep off the cider.

My week is full of very important things....................series 4 of 24.

Now all you out there who have watched the 3rd series will understand when I say that you never want to have a vial of deadly toxin strapped to your wrist when Jack Bauer spots an axe!!! OMG!! Well all in a days work!.


And talking about a days work I think that I had better get a wriggle on and head off to super swanky Lady Lainey office as Pony Paul is back today, so I now have a full compliment of boys to shout at!!
