It's F(ryan)day and its a holiday.

So after all the excitement of Pere Noel arriving yesterday we also had the great Christmas gut bash. Which started with a giant breakfast and then retiring to my room to sleep it off.


After making Dame Didi walk a circuit of Bramall Lane whilst also checking out all the bricks on the fan wall.

Even with sky TV in the hotel we had trouble finding anything of note to watch so dozed on and off during the day.

After having cheese and biscuits and washing it down with wine I had another nap!!!

So what was all this napping thing I hear you say. Well cricket was on from 8.30pm last night.

Ok so in a nutshell ( because its nearly time for another breakfast gut bash). New Zealand were in batting against Sri Lanka and we caught a couple of hours of this until Australia took over against India.




This played out all night and they managed to rack up over 250 runs in the first day.
However over in New Zealand Brendon McCullum was on a mission and fell short of hitting the fastest double century in test history. When he fell at 195.

Its all to play for.



And today?



Well more eating, sleeping and cricket.

Better make the most of it  Back on the diet tomorrow!!!!!

So I will leave you all to rest and recuperate this boxing day.

Enjoy
