Super cricket day

well it is a super cricket day today so I have been up getting the bed stripped and  remade , tidying mon boudoir and cleaning the bathroom, hence running a tad late with the blog.

I also have lunches to sort out for work this week and all before 2.30pm.
Well I think 1pm so that it gives me time to have a little nap!

Yesterday was busy doing 'stuff' around the house and in the extensive grounds of the chateau, including setting the garden incinerator going and finally making head way with the vast amount of branches that had been chopped ( hacked) from the bushes, as well as leaves that were stashed in there last autumn.

I checked this morning and all nicely turned to ash which is now on the borders. and the incinerator is filled ready for the next lot.

I then went to pick up Francesca and we headed to the cinema. We were sadly going to see the (awful) Sasha Baron Cohen  in 'Nobby'. This was the usual coarse over the top trash that Sasha Baron Cohen likes to think is entertainment. However it was redeemed in part by the gorgeous Mark Strong playing along side Cohen.
Strong has been a little fave of her Ladyship since he appeared in  'Our friends in the North' alongside Daniel Craig and Gina McKee.

We then  picked up Lucky the Westie and headed back to the Chateau for dinner and lots of 'fizz'.
 Taxi took the pair home one stone cold sober and the other not so..................


So back to all things cricket.......


I decided that I will give the definitions to some words that I use in the blog and that you may not be aware of


'cricnorant'    
someone with no knowledge of cricket, never seen the game played, and thinks that Ian Botham is God.


'cricnic'

Food & drink, packed up and taken to cricket match to be consumed over the course of the day.


'hangxiety'

What you have when you wake up day after cricket, after having put too much vino in the 'cricnic', cannot remember anything after lunch  and wonder if you did  an 'Erica Roe'.
