stress
dear god! how stressful was that! some shocking batting and some brilliant bowling from warne and lee, meant it was down to hoggsey and the king of spain to hit the winning runs. epic stress, but great to take the lead in the series!
on the bowling front i got a record score (for me) of 149. good fun.

Wow! Liv, Geoff and myself did a pretty good impression of some footballers today. Fooled the opposition and ourselves. Obviously we lost 4-2 but only because are ‘keaper developed a phobia of footballs in the last 10 minutes.

Greetings!
I’m back from Canada – well, I’ve actually been back for a couple of weeks now but haven’t got round to putting an entry on blog… not because I haven’t wanted to, but I’ve been snowed under with study er… episodes of Scrubs. In all seriousness I better get down to some study asap.
Anyway, interesting anecdotes from Canada… where shall I begin? Oh yes, Chipmunks and Red Squirrel rivalry. It so happens that these two groups of fluffy rodents dislike each other intently and like nothing more than to stage their beady eyed attacks on each other in the porchway of unsuspecting camper’s tents. They also have a canny knack of lining their sweet little botties over one’s sandals and relieving themselves.
No moose spotted even though there are allegedly 120,000 moose on Newfoundland alone and unfortunately no bears. However, I did managed to find a Canadian outdoors store which sold Bear Bells WITH magnetic silencers – presents for everyone- just incase one encounters a bear whilst doing recycling in the village.
Once out of the wilderness we did spend a night in luxury accommodation… the student halls of residence at the University of Halifax. Very nice too, cleans towels, a bed and the best night’s sleep in 10 days. It also gave us a chance to stay and enjoy the annual Buskers Festival on the Harbour where we met and listened to a number of mega awesome musicians. Good fun overall.
Lots of other things happened too, but I can’t think of them at the moment – oh well, I’ll save them for future installments on Blog!
Perhaps I should also mention Decoy’s stunning bowling performance, but maybe I shouldn’t steal his thunder!
Well, it is back to the grindstone for me now. I’m planning on being very organised next term and have made sure I have filled my academic diary with all the important dates for the next few months… Freshers Week Toga Party etc. Let’s hope I can maintain this organisation – I’ve heard that it is integral to teaching! -

I win. No I haven’t been playing it all day cos I’m at work but 250/3 with 9 balls left.
We need to start a league dudes and register and wotnot -

247/6
Despite 88 from 28 balls from Ian Bell and 85 from 29 balls by trescothic I lost by four bloody runs.
I can’t handle this at all, this game is sooo crap but very addictive for some reason.
I think I too am going to have to admit defeat. My 16.5 runs per over weren’t enough but they were inspired. And no I haven’t played as AUS. What sort of scum would do such a thing -
slightly
God damn it
Needed 20 to win off the last over and lost. Got 229/9 off 15 overs with England. Trescothic got 80 odd but it all collasped when Warne came on. Lost by 10 bloody runs cos I couldn’t handle Michael Clarke’s off spin!
This was my third go. I shall play again and win god-dammit after I have dispensed medication (yes I’m at work and getting paid for this). -

Since you are Gardener in Chief, Liv; why not issue a decree than no budlias are allowed to incur more than 6 inches into the crud court… for er purely aesthetic reasons. I’ll even buy some shears if you like

hot chocolate
the free drinks machine at work is the very same model we used to have to endure at the pepper factory! dear gods, the memories! and yes, everything that emerges from it tastes like slight variations of filth. (a bit like the drinks machine encountered by arthur dent in the Hitchhiker’s guide to the Galaxy where he tries to get a simple cup of tea and get something which is not quite, but nearly completely unlike tea.) all except the hot chocolate which is palatable. To be honest I haven’t tried many of the other variations (pear and apple drink, chicken soup, veg soup, etc) as after the tea and diet pepsi i’m not sure my tastebuds could handle it!
once again i spent an inordinately long amount of time in the garden yesterday. Watering this time, whereas yesterday i was only collecting veg. M and D always go away when the garden needs most tending it seems to me… just heading out now to check the eggs and feed the chickens.

The great wall of Chi
Trying to find my way back to Melbourne Road yesterday, travelling on my bike from the centre of town, I found myself pedalling along the wall. What a pleasant peranbul it was, to be sure, with scenes of ladies in white bowling, cricket players employing the gentle art of watching and waiting, peoples’ back gardens in full bloom, giggling schoolgirls getting out of my way, a couple of matrons pursing their lips, with the cathedral spire always in view. Eventuallly finding myself where I wanted to be, which was near the dhalia beds around New Park Centre, I realised I had done a 350 degree tour, and that I had started off in the wrong direction just a few yards from where I was now.
I’ll never get the hang of the geography of Chichester.

I just don’t like paleness (my own paleness) unless it’s perfect English rose maid marrian cream. I don’t think it’s an English thing though, it’s a paleness thing. Pale fat hairy European men are in a league of their own in terms of the eugh! factor. I think you’re tanned enough Dodman: Liv and I are the ones who have to be careful not to get too fat, hairy and pale. Tan and Jul have foreign type skin anyway. Grrr…
