Finally it is F(ryan)day

Oh thank goodness for F(ryan)day!!! It really has been a long old week, which has gone from highs ( in temperature) to lows ( in the amount of rain that has come down.) And finally it is the end of the working week, the weekend, and a Bank Holiday to boot!!!!!

Lots to do this weekend, but I am feeling a bit crocked today, actually felt the same last night, and it is probably due to 'germs' circulating around super swanky Lady Lainey office.

Bad news for Surrey ( no, not that 'He must not be named in the blog' will be coming back soon) Captain Graeme Smith is off home to South Africa with a fractured kneecap! He has been playing with the injury in the last few weeks but now he is off home for some serious recovery time. Here's hoping that he makes a full recovery.

Champions of the world and former besty home county of Durham were unable to make a recovery yesterday at Taunton and were also blighted by the weather. Which at times were hailstones the size of golf balls.  Somerset managed a seven wicket win, with Trescothick scoring  133. Its been a tough week for Durham. They lost three bowlers this week Jamie Harrison ( who is crocked more times than Stuart Broad) , Wood and Borthwick.  They are not looking in great shape at the moment.


A funny thing happened yesterday...............................England won a cricket match. OH YES THEY DID!!!! They  beat Sri Lanka  in the first ODI. Chris Jordan was the 'hero' of the match ( and you just know that he will turn to villain before the end of the season). My Tykey boys were in there too with Joey Root scoring 45 and Gary Ballance scoring 64. However rain had hampered the days play. England eventually won by 81 under the Duckworth Lewis method,


Well I am off to swallow a bucket of 'Buttercup syrup' and follow that with some 'cold and flu' tablets and then wend my very weary way to super swanky Lady Lainey office.

I can't even catch a nap as I still have lots to do before the long weekend.



Oh for the good old days when I could have a nap, shout at boys, have a nap, eat my lunch, have a nap.............................................................................

Well best get on my way, and it is grey and overcast here in Lady Laineyville so not boding too well for the weekend.

Botheration!!!!!
