Happy Birthday to Dame Didi and Duchess Debbie


Happy Birthday to you
Happy Birthday to you
Happy Birthday Dame Didi
And hope you don't spew!

OK I thats not a nice thing to say to your sister on her birthday but as we are going to really celebrate it in La Belle France with a visit to the local vineyard I think that it is more than apt. Today my sister is 21 ( again and again and again.........) and after staying at Tykes Towers on Friday and getting totally sloshed on G & T, having a super shopping spree yesterday  avec moi,she is now at Chateau Saltburn celebrating her birthday by.........doing the housework and the washing. Well the dossers that live in your house weren't going to do it were they Didi? Have a lovely day and roll on next week!



 Also sharing her birthday with Dame Didi is besty school friend Duchess Debbie the Wise who is the same age as I Lady Lainey ( how young we are!). I am dropping off her card and pressie in about two hours ( namely after I have finished writing this, put washing in, washed the orange curls and put some slap on!). I hope that you have a super day Debbie xxxxx


Yesterday apart from having a super shopping splurge with Dame Didi where I bought some paint pads ( tres boring), lunches for the 'office boys' ( tres tres boring) and getting a new potato masher ( supposed to be for Lord Christophe to take to uni but the Dame forgot it). I settled down to keep up on twitter with the YB40 semi final, Former besty home county in the south Hampshire against Glamorgan .

This was significant in many ways as it turned out to be the last YB440 match that Dimi Mascarenhas would play in. He got super applause as he bowled his last over ever at the Ageas Bowl. 17 years service to the county ( he started at the super cricket ground of Northlands Road, now a housing estate!).
Sadly Hampshire were lacking from the start due to not having super great batsman Michael Carberry in the squad ( England duties) .
Glamorgan won by 31 runs and to be honest with 2 overs left it could have gone either way. So @glamcricket  ( nothing to do with sequins or platform boots) are on their way to Lords.

Over in't Sheffield there was much excitement yesterday as Kevin McCabe introduced his new partner to Bramell Lane. Prince Abdullah is now co owner of the Blades ( I thought it was going to be Sir Sean of Bean but with a new woman in tow he is obviously saving up for a new divorce!).
Sadly after leading until half time The Blades only went and lost 3-1 to Rotherham. Wonder if the Prince wanted his money back?

Today also sees the Italian grand Prix  which sees Vettel on Pole Position, Baron button in 9th and LH in 12th. For flips Jenson get your flipping foot down today and get on the podium, just for Dame Didi ( and me).

So now I am off to get ready to drop off pressie and card for Duchess Debbie, do housework and go to visit school friend Lorraine Elliott who is now trumping I, Lady Lainey in the accident/ breakage table. however neither of us want any more, so a speedy recovery is needed for Lorraine.


And this morning also sees the start of the 2nd ODI at Old Trafford, the sun is out here in North East of Blighty so hope it is doing the same in Manchester.

Have a super Sunday and besty birthday wishes to the Birthday girls.
