Thursday already? I need the weekend

Well it's Thursday which means one day closer to the weekend and believe me it cannot come quickly enough it has been a strange week.

Tiredness creeping in constantly and a desperate need to get things done in the Chateau, inevitably mean that I have done very little in the evenings apart from knit,eat and sleep.

However there was some flipping brilliant news yesterday about His Royal Ryanness, well I found the link to the 2nd's scores and he had taken 3-30 in the first innings and scored 22 runs!!!. Now I can't find the  fluffing link!!!

 England were in action yesterday afternoon/evening and they won........................yes, really, no fibbing this time...................they won.

Captain Morgan ( I loves his spiced rum) scored  113 before getting out, but Little Joey Root  was on an unbeaten 106 and believe me his smile lit up Trent Bridge when they won.
It was a thrilling and high scoring match which resulted in England having the highest ever ODI run chase to take the game.

For once the England team really stepped up to the mark and showed that they can do it.

So we are heading to Chester le Street with a feeling of hope ( and we all know that we will be coming home with a feeling of woe). Should make for a very nice day.

Hampshire  ( aka South Durham) have been fined £4,000 for misconduct............................... to do with disciplinary standards in their players. Well all I, Lady Lainey am going to say is that it is a long running problem!!!!!


Apparently cricketers face 'critical risk' of, lightening, terrorism, mental illness and being hit by a ball as part of their  career according to a report by FICA ( Federation of international Cricketers Association).
Well hell they want to try and spend a day in Super swanky Lady Lainey office, every day I face a critical risk of being electrocuted ( due to landlord not sorting out the wiring), terror of what the boys are going to do next, mental torment about what they are doing and fear of being hit with what ever they find to hand to throw at each other!

Not to make light of what FICA highlighted  but in reality apart from being hit by a cricket ball, we all face those  risks on a day to day basis!.

Right off to see what is occurring in said office and not in the mood for any of their high jinx this morning!!!!!
