Oh well its Tueday

We seem to have missed the most of the storm here in the North East ( I hope) however it was a bit of ‘hairy’ drive to work yesterday, windscreen wipers not clearing the screen and actually driving blind apart from the car in fronts tail lights.. That is one drive I do not wish to repeat in a hurry. We then had a day of sunshine and showers and actually warm………..outside, in super swanky Lady lainey office it was freezing cold and even with 7 heaters going full blast it took until 3pm to get the office to ‘room temperature’!!!!!

Met cousin Sir Steve of Wilkinson in Lady Laineyworkville yesterday, he is off to stay with Aunt Mollie in Perth and going to the test. He will however have his lady in tow which will cut down the amount of gallivanting and ‘fair maid’ rescuing that he does whilst out there. She looked less than pleased with the talk of cricket #philistine.

Well The Ego has landed, yes KP is in Oz with the rest of the team after being allowed to fly out later on compassionate grounds. He joined the boys whooping it up at the beach in Cottesloe  beach. And all I can say is they are whiter than milk bottles. Hope that they had sunblock otherwise there will be some very sore bodies today!

Chris Tremlett is 'aiming high' in these tests he says.He say his target is to dominate Australian skipperClarke. I do not hold much faith in Tremlett as I have often reported. but wish him well on the tour and hope that he shines.

I know that all the reporting on 'he said this' and 'he said that' is all a war of words to boost the sides. However I do feel that the Australians on their home turf may not be such an easy ride for England #onlytimewilltell

After the shock news that the gorgeous Simon Jones was retiring from cricket with the exception of T20, it is reported that Glamorgan have not given him a T20 contract for next season ( 'damn and blast!!!' Lady Lainey). Hugh Morris said that they wished him well and hoped that he found a contact in this form of the game. Now this might explain some very 'odd' tweets over the weekend!

Tonight Birmingham are in League Cup action at home to Stoke. Its to be hoped that no yellow cards make an appearance!.

So today in the cold ( and yes it is very cold) I am trudging my way to super swanky Lady Lainey office in my thermals, I hope those boys have my coffee on the desk!!!!!!
