Ignored the advice on here ( cloth down the exhaust) exhaust valve is now in the cat, sheared a head bolt trying to remove the cat, at least the exhaust valve is sorted
Went out for dinner last night, cracking bbq joint, I loved it, but the Mrs has been violently ill all day. Turns out they use garlic on EVERYTHING, and she’s extremely allergic to it. Our little adventure to Yorkshire next week is now in jeopardy.
This weekend I’ve been home alone which meant bike time! I’ve covered just short of 400 miles this weekend on the SL. Yesterday was Lake Vyrnwy, then up to Lake Bala and home via Wrexham, that was about 200 miles. Today was Doms bike cafe in Leominster, the Baffle Haus by Abergivenny (Ponty Pandy or some such place) home via Bromyard, about 180-190 miles. Loved it. The SL does get lots of attention at these bike cafes.
I wanted to do some riding but I was in too much pain from my cricketing exploits yesterday. I didn’t bowl terribly well but batted doggedly on a difficult pitch against good fast bowling, got hit a few times (ribs, hand and right in the box) and made a respectable 38, all but 3 of which came from boundaries, before rather stupidly running myself out. So, rather than throwing myself around the scenery today, I watched a livestreamed church service and then later on went for a drive with the dog because I wanted to get out of the house but was too sore to go for a walk.
You’re right. Well spotted. It was all but 4. Originally, it had been 3 but a bye was later credited as a run.
What does that actually mean Zhed? I don’t follow cricket, the scoring and all that 6 for 2 before tea doesn’t make sense to me!
And in the next lesson I’ll explain the LBW rule, which is only marginally less complex than quantum mechanics.
Cleaned the puppy pen and put down fresh puppy pads, taken said puppy and other dog into the garden to do their business, taken puppy for a walk round the block, fed them both and dealt with approx 30 bots on here. FML
That would be 5 runs off the delivery for the batting side but the No ball would go in the “extras” column rather than as runs for the batsman.
Frank Duckworth died recently at the age of 84. He was actually 89, but he was set a revised target after a break for rain in the 1990s.
I used to enjoy playing Cricket at school, and always helped out at my boys school when they played Cricket out of Rugby season, but have never understood the scoring. Other parents would help with the scoresheet, I’d be handing out the refreshments and strapping on pads. They had a bit of a secret weapon against other schools though, as before the Girls had their own matches and team the teams were effectively mixed. England’s Charlie Dean played for the school at the same time as my boys, and showed everyone, and I mean everyone, up. “She took five wickets on her debut for the Portsmouth Grammar School boys’ first XI in 2017, a year after captaining Hampshire Under-15s to victory in the Royal London County Cup.” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charlie_Dean We know her parents quite well so tend to try and keep up to date with her career, and in doing so I think I've learnt more about the sport than I've ever known.
