Another F(ryan)day dawns

And it is a bright day today, as the electrician arrived last night ( as he said he would) and replaced my kitchen light ( as he said he would ) and then is coming back tonight to 'move the light in the Boot Room. Woooohoooo finally  I no longer have to cook by the light of the gas cooker ( or candles), or as it used to be, with a 'disco effect' light!

One job ticked off the list, it may spur me on to do more things in LT Towers II.


World cricket has been busy since yesterday with news that former Australian fast bowler, Craig McDermott, has been recalled to coach the back room staff ahead of the winters Ashes tour. The first match of which starts on 21st November in Brisbane.  Mc Dermott has been working as bowling coach for  Ireland since last year. Just looked at a picture of him, is he really 48???? ( hard paper round!)

In Abu Dhabi, Pakistan  ended South Africa's 15 match  unbeaten run with a seven wicket victory in the first test. Pakistan have not been playing well of late so this win will be a huge boost to them in their 'adopted' home in the UAE ( wouldn't we all like to have our adopted home there??).


Bits of news form around the counties, Lancashire have stated that Simon Katich is  considering a return to the club.

Surrey's fast bowler Stuart Meaker is set to have surgery over the winter to repair a knee injury. The problem causes the 24 year old to miss a substantial part of the season.

Scotland international; Matt Machin has signed a two year deal with  Sussex. The 22 year old came through the clubs academy and scored his maiden first class century this season.

This is a really short one today but prepare for the 'mother' of all blogs tomorrow.

I have to scoot off to super swanky Lady Lainey office now to work jolly hard...........................well maybe do an hour or so, just to keep the boys from moaning. ( yes I let them have a little moan now and again).

Then home to have more light in the Towers and its the flipping weekend. Its all going on, parties, art exhibitions, shopping, napping.
Can't wait!
