Back to the working week.............

and it's going to be a busy one too. There is lots of work in Super Swanky Lady Lainey office to do and also lots to be done in Chateau de Champions too. So I am putting in place a work plan.................which will not be adhered to, but will make me feel like I am going to do something!.

Yesterday morning after having very little sleep, I managed to pull together the lunch and tea for cricket and Mr Funky the Chauffeur tipped in the big blue tank thing ( AKA The Funky Bus). Off we went to pick up Pauly Paul and Dynamo Dom.

Durham were taking on Warwickshire in the start of a 4 day County championship match. and we settled ourselves down for the events of the day. Dynamo was keeping us all entertained but was in his element when Jane came with an umbrella, to say that it kept him amused for 6 hours is an understatement!
We had a couple of rain showers and the sun was shining on and off, but all in all it was a warm day.

Durham posted a good score and were all out for 314. Stoneman and  Borthwick put on a good show but the inevitable 'Durham decline' happened as expected.

Captain Collywobble had a ginger tantrum when given out. Firstly not walking and then sulking all the way to the pavilion where he took his temper out on the dressing room door  and being very vocal. not the behaviour of a Captain and not the behaviour of someone passionate about the game.

Over in Derbyshire, Yorkshire were in T20 action  and it did not fair too well for them. they  were put into bat, with a new opening pair of Gale and Rashid, which did not last too long,
Luckily my banter with Glenn Maxwell on Friday evening seems to have done some kind of trick and he scored 45, with Jack Leaning making 37.
The put on 146 in their 20 overs.

Derbyshire managed to beat my boys in 18.5 overs.

However it was the outpouring of abuse to Captain Gale and I suspect most of the other lads that shocked me the most.
And as far as I am concerned there are bigger fish to fry this season.

And I have  some 'small fry' to deal with so best head off to the office!!!!
