Bastard love child of Windsor Davies & Roger Delgado. Bit of a wrong 'un. Frustrated Leggie. Drinks in railway arches. Accidentally sober. All views scenic.
Want to know why The Blast is leagues better than the Crisp Cup?

Well apart from the cricket being better, it's stuff like this. ECB missed a trick not promoting it.

After a day of sporting disappointments, thank the gods for the mighty Hampshire Hawks.

Poor start to the Blast campaign, but as is usual we go mad later.

And all together now.... EVENING MAJOR!

Although Thursday is usually quite busy in the office, today is especially so.

I wonder why?

Quiet morning dog walk in the New Forest. Miss it so.

Well. A DOUBLE "Evening Major!" for The Hawks.

Ladies won early doors with a mammoth score, and the Men have murdered Essex by 106 runs tonight.

Lovely stuff.

Cricket finished early. So time for some comfort viewing. With the greatest Dr Watson ever.

Currently in the realm of the unwell, so can't actually go to The Oval today.

So sat in the garden with a tea watching the livestream.

Idle flicking to find something to watch over brekker, the usual news too bleak, and happen upon The Return of Sherlock Holmes. Brett!

However my constitution isn't quite ready for period dress Patrica Hodge at this time of day 😍

Looks like some Russians stayed in London for New Year...

And hats off to train companies running a Sunday service but still charging Weekday prices. Money grabbing scum.

The parakeet situation is getting out of hand in Walthamstow. How many can you see?

Lord Gower rings the bell to start what could well be the final day of this First Test.

Clearly now a "Man of a Certain Age" as just purchased some Skechers boots. The box goes heavy on the comfort features.

The Old Folks Home is one air cooled memory foamed step closer...

I mean one would wander on the field of play, but my hospitality box has free booze so...

First ball of the day Surrey Durham at the Oval. Ah. Cricket.

Day at The Oval. Hospitality Box. County Cricket. Come on Durham!

Final day in the office near Marylebone before we moved to Westminster. So last visit to the station Greggs for brekker. Favourite member of staff gave me a sprinkle pink donut to say goodbye!
