The mention of things under the bed brings this to mind from Isle of Harris News.

A Texas based courier firm want to deliver my parcel

When I first got into my hotel room there were 4 pillows, 6 cushions and a teddy bear on my bed. So I moved the cushions and teddy bear out of the way. But every day they put them back again. I think I'm going to hide them in the wardrobe.

They always do that. What do they expect you to do with all these cushions?

Things constructive done, except for popping in at the agricultural engineering place for that locking nut I need for the mower steering. They were already closed when I swung by en route to drop off mum's prescription slip at the quack. Never mind, I have to go that way again on Friday.

I now have a and a biskit, and I've taken my bra off. *BLISS*

@Reynard - does Women's cricket do what it says on the tin?

I have a cold (not covid) and I have got a very foggy brain. I might be able to follow cricket. What is equivalent of the off-side rule? Lbw?

Yep. But then cricket is (generally) played with far more decorum than football anyway.

Mmmm, the closest to offside is probably the no ball rule, where the bowler's lead foot has to land on, or behind the popping crease for the delivery to be legal.

LBW is where the bowler hits the batter on the legs. For the batter to be out, the ball has to be on a line and height to hit the stumps.

HTH

The Hundred starts soon - that's always good to watch. I'm a Southern Brave kind of girl.

I used to play five a side cricket, and had to learn how to bowl properly. Also played five a side football, oh and ice hockey.

 

[Reynard]

We played quick cricket at school - we has a Kiwi sports mistress, you see.

 

[Reynard]

Anyways, it's almost time to feed the cats, and then it will be time to feed me.

On the subject of sports - the local cricket club has started croquet session, once a week in the afternoon. Has anyone played croquet?

The sessions are 3pm to 7pm, they have their own car park, or it is a brisk twenty twenty minute walk. They have, as you would expect, a social club, so I presume people might be sociable with a drink after a game. I think it is on a "drop in" basis, not a commitment to a number of sessions.

Sorry about the rain in Leeds at the moment,i cut the lawn this afternoon.

Tom yum soup with noodles for supper this evening, although I made it with chicken rather than prawns.

The world is a rather good place right now.
