Here at Temperance Towers it is flipping frosty and freezing cold, the temperatures which have been above the seasonal norm, drop last night and today everything is white outside. I am thankful that it is just frost and not s**w!!! my most dreaded of all the elements.
it's also the end of my first working week of 2016 and what a week it has been!
Firstly
England were playing the second test in Cape Town and after racking up over 600 runs the hacks were hailing a victory, then SA came in an declared 2 runs short of the England first innings total, then they were bowling England a bit like playing skittle, then rain came and saved England ( and I really do believe that it did!). So test was drawn.
Then The Adelaide Strikers played another blinding match which took them to the top of the table and showed what a great coach Gillespie the Gallant is.
And then very sadly the cricket family lost two very young players through unfortunate happenings.
Firstly Matthew Hobden, who had gone to celebrate New Year in Scotland and fell to his death form the roof of the house where he had been watching the stars.
And then the death of Tom Allin who was found at the base of a bridge in Bideford.
Two talents lost in the blink of an eye.
A very sad week for cricket.
And here at temperance Towers the first week drink free has not gone too badly and I am filling up with blackcurrant and water!!
not the most exciting tipple but proving to myself that I don;t need a drink of wine or gin or brandy or a martini.........................well you get the drift
And now I am going to check that I have recorded toady's Adelaide match and head off to the office where we are making space for new boy Tommy Gun.
Ah that should please the boys as they are getting out of doing any work by doing some manual labour.
Well best get the Lady Lainey limo out of the garage and head off.
Until tomorrow!!
