I must have been ill...

I watched the cricket!

With a patient Mr Scribbles by my side I learnt a little bit about what was going on, and it's amazing how much more interesting something can be when you actually understand it. Some might say it is a sexier game than football. Something to do with the white sportswear and all those intense, moody looks. But, being married, I wouldn't know about that.

If I hadn't been ill however, I don't know I'd have had the patience for a whole afternoon of it. No wonder it was one for the toffs - hours and hours and days and days and days of the stuff. Couldn't do that whilst holding down a job at the local factory could you? Nope, ninety minutes on a Saturday afternoon is all the workers could slot in.

Anyway, here's to stuffing the Aussies.
