The weekend was great, thank you girls. My son and his mates had an absolute ball at the test match on Saturday, watched some great cricket, collected autographs of some of the greats like Viv Richards, Ian Botham and Bob Willis, and actually got to chat to the likes of Brian Lara and some of the current players. They were beside themselves with excitement. I love it when birthday treats are everything you hope they will be.
He and I went to Lords again yesterday and FROZE! Another very enjoyable day though, and my son's accumulated so much knowledge and understanding of the game over the last year or so - he really got me interested. He's already a very good player and I'm starting to wonder how far he could go. Now him being paid to play cricket all over the world and his little old mum following him, that's a life I could handle!
Food-wise, very good and very dull: hard boiled eggs, roasted chicken thighs with the skin removed, cooked peeled prawns, water... Ah well!
