Sadly, the building work is in pretty much a worse state than when I left, now we don’t have a usable shower, and there was no hot water this morning. It’s now almost 4 weeks, and I am starting to get really annoyed.
On a brighter note, we won the Ashes. Cricket is one of the worlds most misunderstood game, sure they play for 5 days, have a break for tea, and then end in a draw, but it is still a tense game when played between 2 evenly matched teams. A few good balls is the bowling sides needs to make the batting side collapse in spectacular fashion (Australia on Sunday). And the batting side just needs a few dodgy balls to get the score climbing (Pieterson hitting them for 6 today).
All in all, a good summer for the English cricketors.
