Good afternoon, Sabine.
Hope you are well this fine day.
Good afternoon too !
Thank you for asking. I am well and it is a fine day. The sun and the warmth is back after four days of rain and cloudy weather.
What a strange and crazy summer !
That is silly.
Yup, like many, many things in this world.
Me for one.
That's lovely.You get a hug from me. Okay ?
Thanks very much.
Can I have a hug from the sheepies and kitties, too ?
As expected, rain stopped play just before 3pm and we decided not to hang around waiting for the formal announcement that play had been abandoned for the day.
Cricket in progress
As you can so easily tell ( ) South Africa are batting in the above picture and England fielding. South Africa's team have whites that are white ... and England's whites are actually cream
Actually the easiest way to tell is that one of the batsmen is really short. SA's Bavuma is only 5'3"

More than you'd get at a football match, for example.
Could've been a lot worse.
In terms of minutes of actual action? Maybe not. This was cricket you know!
I agreeCould've been a lot worse.
Oh, but lots of walking about.In terms of minutes of actual action? Maybe not. This was cricket you know!
I agree
Very interesting.
I can (and do) watch it for days.
Good morning Adam, and fellow Roomies!Good morning, Bea.
Haha!!!!Good morning all.
Today we're going to watch a very traditional British sport - cricket.
The weather is also set to be traditionally British so we're quite likely to be spending the day doing something else traditionally British... huddling under an umbrella while waiting for the rain to stop
I tried to watch cricket when I worked in New Zealand, but just couldn't get into it.
What a strange...erm...UNUSUAL sport!And for the non-Brits, cricket is the sport where two teams play each other in a single match for 5 days*, complete with breaks for lunch and tea, and there is no guaranteed winner at the end
*International test match. Shorter matches over 3 or 1 day take place too, but there's still no guarantee that the match won't be a draw
Did it originate in Britain?
GASP!!!!!An awful lot of silly things seem to have originated in Britain...
And I truly mean that in a positive, if bemused, way!
Yup, 16th century England.What a strange...erm...UNUSUAL sport!

English eccentricity.

We're proud of our silliness.
