Wonderful Autumn
Now the Azores high is retreating back to it's home and the Atlantic lows are taking hold, I thought this would be great time to reflect on September, the best month of the year for the third year running.I used to get depressed when September was coming, as it signalled the end of Summer, but as we have barely had much sun in July and August over the last three years, September is rapidly becoming a month to savour and look forward to, rather ...
Weekend Action
This weekend was a busy one indeed, and I have been hampered by a heavy cold that has turned my nose in to the equivalent of dripping tap, it now really stings.It's a good job I didn't want sympathy, as it was not forthcoming, Diane choosing to avoid me rather than having to put up with an ill bloke, which is understandable.Anyway after a self inflicted defeat for Oakley in our first indoor cricket match of the season, we went with John and Zak ...

It really should be a rainy day thing bowling, and it seemed a waste of the ...

That means I have paid all that money for nothing, it's a crying shame.So that is that, I am no longer married, which if I am honest, is a loosening weight of my back, and though I wont be throwing a massive party like some odd people do, it is another obstacle ...
