Countdown to the weekend!




So the weekend is looming large and once again thoughts turn to all the jobs that are to be done here. Most importantly is a flipping huge bonfire to get rid of more dead leaves that have found there way into the extensive grounds of LT Towers II. Luckily the Deer Park is just ticking over nicely so no problems there.

I am hoping ( not) for the better weather to arrive so that I can get on the garage roof and finish 'acrypol'ing it. As many readers will remember I started to do this last year, I managed to get some of the roof done and all of my nails, which now have a waterproof rubberised coating guaranteed for 75 years!!!!

So to cricket and Yorkshire CCC announced yesterday the sad news that former player Graham Stevenson had sadly passed away aged 58. Stevenson played 177 first class matches for Yorkshire between 1976-1983.  In 1982 he set a record 10th wicket stand with Geoff Boycott of 149 against Warwickshire at Edgbaston, thrashing 115 not out, at the time a record for a number 11 batsman.
He had suffered a very severe stroke three months ago.

After noting the ICC's new plans for cricket which South Africa had objected to, Cricket's International Players union have now opposed plans to give more  control to England , Australia and India. The union are extremely concerned about the future of international cricket ( as am I, Lady Lainey especially with the team England have at the moment). Well it;s all kicking off and hopefully may well be settled next week.

Englands women are currently playing to win the Ashes. Australia went into bat and are currently  266-7.
Good luck girls you have done better than the 'boys'.

The Flower/Pieterson rift continues to take up space (yes on here too). every man and his dog is stating that there is no rift.

Me thinks they do protest too much!!!!.

It will be an early night tonight as I will be up at 3am for the ODI, not quite sure why I am putting myself through all of this but I am and to be honest its torture!!!


Well managed to sell one of the things out of the garage last night so there is some space at last. Dame Didi, have you sold yours yet????

So another day another penny for the new tiara fund. I wonder what joys today brings in super swanky Lady Lainey office!!!!! Hmmmmmmmm best go and find out.
