End of the world as we know it
I am so glad we didn’t manage to get tickets to the Trent Bridge Ashes test which started today. It was a sell out so we didn’t stand a chance anyway, still…I am SO glad. I had a Talking Newspaper … Continue reading
Is it poo?
I went to Lords today (not Lourdes, as Mirinda wondered, thinking I was going to Spain) to watch the second day of the first test between England and New Zealand. I’d never been to Lords before and was really looking … Continue reading
Perfection
At some point today, the website was once more accessible. I don’t know when, I don’t know how, I don’t know why. It’s all a bit mysterious. Last time I had an explanation; this time I had nothing. That’s not … Continue reading
The perfect English day

Joan Fontaine died today. I had no idea she was still alive. She was 96…which is a pretty good innings. Of course Radio 4 had a lot of stuff on about her today, including her famous feud with her sister, … Continue reading
Petering out
Peter O’Toole died today. He was celebrated today for his greatest film role, Lawrence of Arabia. I particularly remember him for his pox ridden Tiberius in the controversial Caligula of 1979. Disgustingly believable. O’Toole was one of those actors who … Continue reading
Cricket…again
Back in 2010, England spent the first day of the Ashes test in Adelaide destroying our fielding side. This time, it was a bit different. I woke to the news (and listened to the final few overs) that Australia had … Continue reading
Drawers, dinner and rain
I woke this morning to rain. I walked into Farnham in gradually heavier rain. I arrived home and the rain had stopped. The sun struggled to peek out from the clouds. I debated what to do. I’d stored the drawers … Continue reading
