Sticky Wicket

Slightly more normal service resumed today with a quiet day at work serving as a prelude to an evening at the wee ones’ cricket session.

With the summer holidays having started it was a lot less busy than in recent weeks and with the sun remaining shy it was also a lot cooler than it had been. Still, I braved the elephants (sic) and sat there on my own in blissful isolation, nursing a pint of Coors.

When the session was over they ran off with their friends for a bit after which time m’boy made his way back to me for some batting and bowling with his mate; Oz for a little while. 

Once Oz departed, I spent some strangely therapeutic time smashing the ball into the air for m’boy to practice his catches, which were pretty good for the most part.

A grand way to finish the week and lead into a very welcome three day weekend!
