Marnin' Little un's 9th birthday today. Just finished the frenzy of present opening. New Ipad, wireless headphones, light up sketchers trainers, Harry Potter dressing gown, few other bits and pieces, she's well chuffed. Got a party with about 15 other 8 and 9 year olds later, that should be fun ... Off camping on the Isles of Scilly this weekend, really looking forward to that. I don't mind sleeping in a bivvy under the stars, but I've booked one of those posh bell tents with beds, stove, and all the stuff included to make it a bit easier for the Fam. Will watch the Solstice sunrise sat on a rock like a hippie on the most westerly point of the UK Happy days
Ah, that quintessentially British thing, village cricket. I batted at five, we were 10-3 after two overs with a trio or rapid speed merchants pounding us. I survive three overs before being cleaned out by a ball I didn't see, having scored two. Soon as I'm out, on come the pie chuckers ffs. I've not faced pace for near on twenty five years, didn't stand a chance. Didn't bowl as they knocked our score off in sixteen overs. Thoroughly enjoyed!
Into the mystery book now, really good. Got to love McCarthy's love of flow at the expense of punctuation, not even chapters in this one just one long book with no interruption.
