Thank flip it's F(ryan)day

HUURRRRAAHHHH!!!!!! it is F(Ryan)day and I am super flipping, tiara twirling, happy. I have now managed to pull myself (temporarily) out of the post cricket doldrums and have set up some jobs to do.

1. Finish the newel posts for the staircase.

2. Get wicket laid in extensive grounds of Chateau de Champions.

3. Dig out borders ready for spring planting.

4. Have a lie down in a dark room!!!

yes all of these (hopefully) will be taking place this weekend.( the last one is a certainty)

last night lots of 'do's' were taking place as Besty home county of  Yorkshire and former besty home county of Durham were having their awards evening.

Adam Lyth swept the board at the Yorkshire event, and obviously no matter how many times I scribbled His Royal Ryanness's name on a piece of paper and put it in a bucket at Headingley last week, he did not win the members award. do you think they knew that I wasn't a member?

At Durham Chris Rushworth picked up an armful of awards  for being the most amazing bowler that they had all season. 15 wickets in a match!!! Well enough said.

I had a fabby telephone conversation with Harry ( H) Latchman  regarding my soon to be held big birthday bash. he is really hoping that both himself and his lovely wife Blossom will be able to come.
However they had house guests with them and I then spent a very funny half hour talking to good friend and former  Sussex, Somerset, Middlesex and Glamorgan player, International and test Umpire, Allan Jones. ( when he joined Glamorgan he became the first cricketer to play for 4 first class counties). There was much hilarity and lots of memories most especially about him arranging me to meet Ronnie Irani!!!

Sadly due to his wife celebrating her birthday a few days before hand they can't travel up from Taunton for the bash of the year.

What a great end to a very long day.

And the Lady Lainey limo?....................................
......... well the spring is replaced and after being 'snogged' by Benji the french kissing border collie, I fair bounced off home in the limo which is feeling and driving much better.

Now I am off to super swanky Lady Lainey office to shout at boys ( last day for Dan Dan cowboy draughtsman) and drink copious amounts of coffee whilst looking very pretty.
It's a tough job but someone has to do it!!!!!
