A nice day, tho’ feel a bit melancholic about stuff; PAOTY was an excuse for a cathartic weep. Tried not to stress about silly stuff. Saw some sunshine & had a bit of a walk too. Diabetic eye check all clear, so not back for 2 years; makes me wonder why the optician wants more tests.

Portrait Artist of The Year, making me cry; only watched the first episode so far! Incredible talent in show; would love to be able to paint like that.

Tybalt and Frank looking like the enforcement detail there.

And it worked... just! Rain did come to England's rescue after the second storm of the day stopped Pakistan's chase of a meagre 113 to win. Embarrassed looks all round and huge respect to the Pakistan team robbed of their most famous victory ever... #CWC25 #ENGWvPAKW

😂 Hearing Dan’s announcement now; England definitely lucky, lucky, lucky! Oh well, Alex can get back to her room and rest up soon enough.

In other news, I think the DJ in Colombo was playing November Rain by Guns ‘n’ Roses just there 😂

See my latest thoughts on that.

Having hoped for rain to save England, feel slightly miffed for Pakistan that they could end up with a draw when they absolutely deserve to win after England’s honking batting. One point for a draw doesn’t really change much for England, a win for Pakistan would be immense.

Alex Hartley sounding like she’s really struggling today. Hasn’t used the word honking once to describe the pre rain England batting which I’m taking as a sign of her weakened state. 😂 Can forgive her for losing the will to live…

Sounds a busy and enjoyable schedule. Must get to Modern 2 to see the Resistance exhibition.

The whole DLS thing totally confuses me. Let’s see how it goes. Enjoy your roll!

Yup, fair play to Dean and Arlott on the restart.

Much better score than England deserve tbh. Let’s hope their bowling’s on good form in the second innings.

And the doughnut was lush; I enjoyed it for both of us!

Very autumnal. I entered my teens in the mid 80s and there was a lot of leg warmer action. Had some white stilettos for a while too.

Coffee and an enormous fudge doughnut to fortify me through what’s left of today’s World Cup cricket.

Oh well. Rocking the 80s inspired look. Get yourself some red stilettos and black tights, classic look.

What about tennis in the nuddy?

I’m rather fig ambivalent although like coffee flavour cakes.

Have one of their scones in the cafe, a work of art in themselves.

We’ve managed a wee bit of sunshine for you this afternoon! Was very grey when I left to go to Fife earlier. Enjoy your stay!

If you’re interested in textiles and have time, can highly recommend the current exhibition at Dovecot Gallery in Infirmary Street.

And England allegedly going to try playing some actual cricket? 😂 Cheers for the update; will give me time to get home and do a few jobs so I can settle in for the horror show resuming with hot sweet tea!

Yeah, been poor all round for batting. Beaumont & Jones both non-starters, too much reliance on Knight & NSB, both capable of silliness despite their experience… Bad day at the office, maybe all affected by this bug to some extent? Pak, Bang & SL certainly making hay with bowling conditions!
