Things that I Lady lainey have learnt of late

The old saying goes that you can't teach an old dog new tricks........well I beg to differ. Firstly let me quickly say that I am not referring to myself as an old dog ( no need for anyone to comment on that!). However in the past few months I have learnt a few things the hard way

1. Even your oldest friend can let you down spectacularly
2. S**t happens (most days in Tykes Towers and I don't mean that literally)
3. You cannot take on other peoples problems
4. Never wait for tradesman to come at allotted time !!!
5. NEVER EVER EVER EVER DYE YOUR HAIR WHEN YOU HAVE HAD A COUPLE OF SHANDIES!!!!

So today as I head out to the shops, I will be wearing a very fetching Emirates  baseball cap ( as acquired at last seasons T20's). Needless to say this evening I will be trying to tone down the 'orangeness' with some Vosene.

So yesterday we all set off in Mr Funky's big blue tank thing and headed off to The Riverside Ground to watch former besty home county of Durham against former besty team in the South, Hampshire. After early morning biblical floods, the sun was out and the sky was blue, so all looked good. Durham won the toss and elected to bowl with Chris Rushworth making short work of the Hampshire side. However not  before the wonderful Michael Carberry got injured!
We all had a spot of tea and then it rained! and play stopped. Carberry was out due to hand injury and then Dimi Mascarenhas came off having injured his leg! flipping heck it was all happening. When it restated the D/L ruling came into play which gave Durham the upper hand and they won! Only after Mr Funky and Pauly Paul had set up the 'Colley Crush Crew' and where jabbering away about the merits of the Durham Team captain. Funny that they never mentioned the words 'stroppy', 'prima donna' 'cricket diva!'.
On the down side jolly bad non cricket behaviour was shown by some 'fans' on a jolly from work in the 'hostility boxes'. Constant chiding of the Hampshire players and loud and drunken behaviour. Not on! If that had been I, Lady Lainey the fat controller would have escorted me from the ground and taken away my Gold Membership.
Quill to paper as we speak. #don'tupsetherladyship.

over at Headingley centre of the cricket universe, Yorkshire were frustrated by the weather and lost nearly 40 overs due to rain. Captain Andrew Gale was eventually out for a stunning innings of 148. Excellent cricket, helped by Liam Plunkett who made 51. His Royal Ryanness made some brave attempts at taking wickets but it was Jack Brooks who took the first after his return from injury.
The expected return of the ego is upon us so lets see what today holds.

So today is dry(ish) after more monsoon like rain overnight and I am planning to get Tykes Towers into some sort of order before settling down this afternoon with Jack Bauer. The perfect end to the weekend!

Oh no back to work tomorrow!!!
