Mid week and lots to do

Mind you staring at pictures of his Royal Ryanness's posterior are not going to help in getting ANYTHING  done. So first things first make extra large cup of decaffeinated coffee and drink it!

second read all crickety things in papers. Yep not a lot of Tykey or current champions of the world news, but there is some news from Warwickshire as Captain Jim Troughton has announced his retirement with immediate effect. he has been struggling with a persistent back problem ( and that's not nice at all). He has been playing for over 14 months with the recurring problem and sadly had to make a decision.
Good luck in what ever you do next Jim.

Another mover and probable 'retiree' is Geraint Jones who has not been offered a new contract with Kent. Jones was part of the Ashes winning side in 2005,  and has played at Kent since 2001 and this year was put out to Gloucestershire on loan before returning to Kent following an eye injury..
Hopefully he finds another club for next season or moves onto the next phase of his life.

There is already bits of contract news coming through, as Worcestershire wicket keeper Ben Cox signs a two year deal to stay with the county. But I am waiting for the news that his Royal Ryanness is staying at Yorkshire until 2017. Well that would make me very happy and would make him 40(ish). Still life in the old Ryan yet.

So I am off to the peace and tranquility that is super swanky Lady Lainey office. No Trill Boy has made a huge amount of difference to the dynamic of the office. we are all just chugging along and no one is getting 'earache'. However it is flipping freezing in said office and I have felt the need to put one, of my hundred heaters on. Yes a heater on in the office in August!!! What ever next..............probably my thermals if it doesn't chuffing well warm up a bit!.

So with that said I am off to sort out the office boys, put my feet up drink gallons of coffee, do a bit of shouting and have myself a jolly well deserved nap! Ahhhh! its like the 'old day' of the office.
