Calm before the storm

Well its Bank Holiday Monday and I have been knitting since waking up at 5am, no peace for the wicked here!
In truth this is the calm before the moving storm and so I am taking the opportunity to get some more knitting done before it has to go on hold for a week or two.

I have managed to get a lot done and some of the teddies in their jumpys are now in the shop at North Marine Road,so more  pressure on me tp get them finished !!!

The week ahead is not going to be any easier in the office so best to get as much rest as possible ahead of that storm!!

Well Saturday saw Somerset beat Hampshire in the 50 over cup.
The cricket was average, but my main moan was the fact that all the commentators referred to the men at the crease as 'batters'
 I put this out on twitter and was very surprised to see that I was not the only person that found this incredibly irksome.
lots of comments about woman playing cricket, but this was a mens game so it was not a relevant argument.

Firstly its a lazy Australianism, and apparently 'catchers' is now in use, what next? throwers and backstops?

We are gradually losing the proper format of the game to the '100' lets not lose the correct cricket terms too.
I'm surprised that the vegetarians haven't asked for 'cow corner' to be renamed.
'chickpea corner perhaps?
 
England played a warm up against Australia, the best bit about this was the series of tweets from Jason Gillespie.
Mark Wood is once again  a doubt, don't say I didn't mention this.
And anyone who boo'd the Aussies thinking it would bother them should know by now that this will only boost their arrogance.

Well time to get back to the knitting, lots to get done and hopefully more to be boxed up and posted off this week.

Have a great Bank Holiday.
