Saturday will be a long one!

So Saturday dawned at the unearthly hour of 2.45am and by the time the cricket was starting I already had one load of washing done.

I am now listening to the cricket.

Which was a worry before it even started as Jonny B injured himself on the run down to the field!

After being attended by anyone who  had a first aid badge from the Brownies, he was on his feet and hobbling out to the crease.


It didn't stop him getting his 50, but sadly he  didn't make a century, as he was bowled  LBW by Yadav.

Still a trooper in my eyes ( or ears as the case is).

It did mean that Jonny and Stokes had managed to stop the ship from sinking albeit  still many miles to sail but they got us back on course.

It was interesting to listen to Peter Trego  in the lunch interval and all that he has going on to hopefully prepare him for life after cricket.
Also interesting to hear him say that at 35, if he had his time again, he would not have had his 'sleeves' of tattoos done.

Yesterday was full of 'doggy' fun as Murphy returned to work and  had lots of fun with a tennis ball.

To say that this little bundle of fur had brought a sense of calm to the office is an understatement.

He seems to radiate quietness, and he is himself a very quiet little dog. He did not like it when the office boys raised their voices and as such everyone has been in a toned down mode since his arrival.

Sadly he went home at 4pm  and I was inconsolable. However good news that he may return on Tuesday.

he knows where to come for treats and hugs and warmth.

When he arrived yesterday morning his little paws were freezing!! I know this first hand as he jumped straight up onto my knee.

Ah to have a little Murphy of my own!

Everyone seems to be heading off to live in France!

my friends Raye and Andy are in the process of buying a beautiful rural farmhouse in Lower Normandy complete with minstrals gallery.
It is only a few miles from the house that I went to look at a couple of years ago. We could have nearly been neighbours ( again).

Ah well a full on busy day today, so have a great Saturday whatever you are doing.
