No longer a rosebud

After I had written my blog yesterday I went into overdrive with washing and sorting out and then hot footing it down to the Post Office.
I got a text from the Dame to say that she had arrived at my house and where the dickens was I?!

So back to the Chateau quick sharp and just about to take a mouth full of coffee when my phone beeped.

It was a text from my besty Barnsley chum Shazzer.

'Well' she said
'What about your lad getting his cap?' she said

'WTF' I said!

I quickly went onto the Yorkshire site and there it was.

TLJL had finally been capped.

A full blooming rose now, but he will always be my little rosebud!

Willey and Rafiq were also capped.

And then they went out to take on Lancashire.

It was slow going from the off, Lancashire were getting runs and there were no wickets until the 36th over when His Royal Ryanness did the honours.

 A flurry of late wickets saw 299-7 at stumps.
Little Timmy Bresnan and Jack Brooks also took wickets. HRR took another  and is now on 727 FC wickets in his career!

Today I expect them to clear up the remainders in the first hour and put on a good batting display.
No pressure boys!

The Dame brought over the cake that I am to decorate for her big birthday bash.

Hmmmmmm I wonder if she wants 'Barbie' or 'He Man' design!!??!!

Maybe not!


And now I have more washing to do and am goign out for an early morning walk.

Got to get my 10,000 steps in.

Have a peaceful Sunday.

ohhh forgot to say that the very handsome Ollie Rayner was bowling well yesterday at Lords taking 4-17 against Durham!
