Making inroads

Well it is  full steam ahead today already, as there was a lot to do in all areas.

I  managed to get the garden incinerator filled last night ( in the dark and rain) and emptied ( read as set it going), so that leaves (no pun intended) the new patio/decking area to be marked out at some point this afternoon.
This project has jolly well taken too long to be completed and I need it done by May so best to crack on.

I also packed up the first lot of 'hamper samples'. So some of you may be surprised in the next week or so, if you don't get something in the post no doubt you will have something hand delivered at some point.

A spot of 'logistics'  being  done  this morning,which has been on going since 5.30am.

I'm trying to contain the excitement though as I  have a trip to the dechetterie after lunch and then  work in the garden and garage before I settle down to watch  'Fortitude'.

Well that's the plan but who knows.

On the cricket front,it was revealed yesterday that Joe Root, Ben Stokes and Stuart Broad are all in talks re the Captains job.
Well now,who would you put your 5p on.

Over in India Virat Kohli has been doing.....................well doing a Kohli, double centuries in four successive series. the Indian Captain is showing that he is a force to be reckoned with.

And then there was  de Kock  & Amla, what a knock that was, in their ODI match.109 &154 respectively!
 however du Plessey and de Villiers did not look in great form with 41 &14. Still it was a cracking match.

News came through yesterday  that Glamorgan wicket keeper and former captain Mark Wallace has decided to retire forthwith.  Having spent over 18 years in the first team I think he deserves a rest!

And I was sad to hear that Italy have parted company with their head coach who has been in the Italian cricket set up for 19 years.

Having watched the team over the last few years  the coaches influence has been evident. Now time for him to move on to cricket fields new.

Well  it's still pouring with rain here but at least its not snowing.

Have a great weekend
