Wet weather, bad asthma. I find I can barely climb into the attic to check the Test match is still rained off, never mind do anything really active. If it stops raining for long enough it’ll be croquet rather than crud for me. That’s a shame since I was looking forward to testing my skills against Pliskin with his ludicrously overweight bat.

It only started raining after John came round and moaned about climate change and the merciless sun and how we were all doomed to premature extinction. I begged to differ but he was having none of it.

the power of my bat is unsurpassed. Not even by pliskin’s attempts at a copy.

All hail the crud champion!

Also played golf late on sunday. shockingly, solid posted the best score of the day with a creditable 34. slightly and i only managed 35s. we ended up play the last few holes of the final round in near pitch black resulting in much time spent searching for balls. solid lost his ball at the final hole.

I played Liv at crud this weekend. I lost the first two sets (of a five setter) , 6-1, 6-2, and then won the next 7-5. That was on Saturday. Coated with a thick sheen of sweat, we cycled to the beach for a swim. Then, on Sunday, I lost the final set 6-2. Crushing defeat!

We started another game (a three setter), which Liv won the first set of 6-1 and I countered with 6-3.

Although Liv had all the rub of the green, with a stack of shots hitting the sticks and bouncing in off the tree, the dismal fact is, I hadn’t got sufficient skill to deal with his power play. Also, my racquet was clearly past its sell by date.

Oh: Tan’s coming back tomorrow. Should be in around 1pm.

Hail fellow bloggers.
Just registred my fantasy team Liv. I can smell the victory already!!!
Went on a long walk up a mountain yesterday. Good fun, but a bit like a main road on the way back down there were so many other plodders on the track. Good views though!

Snake is back…

Hi C’rot. I just sent you an email asking for Neil and Sally’s address. Also Coco’s, if you’ve got it. I’ve lost my entire email archive including address book on account of a cruddy back up program recommended by Liv (actually, untrue: I insisted on using it despite his scepticism) which produced a natty looking folder called ’emails’ which on closer inspection proved to be empty inside!

I’m putting a few pictures here and a few on the bavardage. The blue tinge is because the camera settings were wrong.
