Although I am British - I don't understand it myselfYes. It is very hard to explain to foreigners from non-cricketing nations that a match can go on for 5 days with breaks for lunch and tea ... and still end in a draw![]()

I had a grasshopper or cricket on my garden the other night - sounded quite tropical out there!The only thing I know about cricket is they chirp at night in my backyard![]()
We had a heavy shower yesterday - for about 10 minutes!Good morning all. The sun is out again. Temperatures are heading for 30+ again. A few parts of the country had some much needed rain yesterday, but we didn't even get any serious cloud.
I am awake early and listening to the starlings squabble at our bird feeders while I enjoy my first cup of (decaf) coffee of the day.
Have a good weekend everyone
That's my sort of cricket!!!!I’d go with a Sticky Toffee Pudding over a Sticky Wicket any day..... that said, i do like the nice V-neck sweaters that cricketeers wear. Quite sporty.
Long story short....back in University, we went to Bermuda for a month-long marine biology course. I remember watching a test match on tv after many margaritas and not having a clue! But no one did.

Lemon zest. Vanilla essence. Apricot jam. Milk . Eggs. Bread. Butter or margarine. Cinnamon and sugar. I butter the slices of bread and spread apricot jam on them. Cut them up into quarters. Throw them into the bowl. Then i mix about 500ml of milk 6 eggs the lemon zest, vanilla essence ( a capful), sugar and cinnamon together and pour the mixture over the bread. I push the bread pieces into the liquid mixture until they are all covered and more or less soaked it up. Sprinkle sugar and cinnamon over the top. Squeeze some lemon juice also over the top . Put it into the oven and bake until it is done. Sorry no exact measurements as i generally cook by feel.[emoji6]That is my Brothers very favorite dish. Every time he comes to stay with me, he asks if I will make it. Would you share your recipe please? Yours looks amazing!
Lol. You sound like me. Good luck with the painting.Good morning all, thankfully it's a bit overcast here today, but it's not going to last long.
I am going to paint my garden bench today - inspired by Mark's efforts on his shed.
I'm a messy painter so will probably end up with more on me than the bench.
I may do my picket fence too - depends of I've any paint left
Anyway hope you have all made a good start to Saturday and have a very enjoyable weekend.
Better go and find my old paint clothes and brushes.
Catch you all later!
TTFN

I think my dog thinks she would like to have a baby ! Even when it is a cat baby.Maybe your dog thinks your cat is a dog as well. I would love to see a picture when you do take one.
Yaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy !I am planning to. Will post them as soon as I get a chance.
That is not nice. My dogs won`t kill cats.My dogs wait til the climb the fence then ambush them... Then I have to go bury a cat, well what's left of it.
Morning everyone!
Mine too.I like the peace and quiet one. Just my kind of scene.
That is yummy with every weather.
I love those chrickets too. Making a wonderful noise. I sleep like a baby when I hear them chirping.The only thing I know about cricket is they chirp at night in my backyard![]()
