So I must be starting to feel better







So I must be starting to feel better as I got up and made myself oat bran pancakes this morning and it is only 6.40am UK time now!.It is however very cold and frosty and very dark!! What the Donald Duck is going on?

I was chatting on Twitter to Pauly Paul super friendy of Mr Funky the Chauffeur and myself and he was saying that he too is going back to Durham this year! So it looks like we will all be travelling together and having cucumber sandwiches and lashings of lemonade!

There looks to have been some derisory comments regarding The Woman's World Cup ( probably from a man!) and  Dave Richardson the Cricket Chief tried to answer these. Apparently fixtures, sponsorship, scheduling had all been a problem in India. He said that the commitment to woman's cricket had increased since 2009. Budgets are bigger and more media coverage is taking place. However when they got to India the programme of matches was not confirmed until 6 days before the start. The amount of travelling too was not acceptable.
Hopefully this will all be sorted before the next World Cup.

James Anderson is being boosted for bigger and better records this season after over taking 'Sirloin' of Beef in the wicket stakes.Hopefully he will be fully fit to do this.

I know that some readers will think that I am very hard on the England team and especially on some players ( and more biased towards Tyke players), however I do feel that the players should concentrate on playing and not giving interviews  where their outlandish sized ego's take over. Let the Captains talk for the team and let the rest get out in the nets where they should be.

Good news on the Tykes front  Tim Bresnan has had his operation on his elbow and is getting ready to be match fit and also fit to fight for an Ashes place. Chris Woakes has his eye on Bresnans 'spot' so lets see Tim fully fit and considered by the selectors. And also Get Well Soon Tim if you should happen to be reading this!.

So what else has been going on in the life of I, Lady Lainey, well I went to see the Royal Hounds last night, all of them. Benji was full of himself and I managed to (just) get away without being 'kissed' I was however loved to death by a slimmed down Leo, who had been put on a diet in the New Year and had to lose 10 kilo!!!!!!!!!! Now that was a bit of a dumpy Doberman!. Now however he is super slim and just as mad.


Today is the birthday of Nicolaus Copernicus he was born in 1473. (Astronomer who made  the heliocentric model which placed the sun as the centre of the universe)
I remember him so well from Mr Richardson's history lessons as he used to call him 'copper knickers'!

Have a great day where ever you are and hope that it is warmer than  here in Blighty
