I didn't know that Britain was that shade of green all over.

Book-marked. It is spot-on anyway, Manchester is in the "eye" of
the Low Pressure, with sunny periods and some blue sky.
Wish I'd washed the bedding, now. ;-)

What four?

I think you're very wicket.

It's all over now.

Ducking and running?

and bowling naive blonde maidens over.

Now, hush, she's on an away fixture!

Not batting for the other side?

Playing for the home team.


This has really creased me up but I do declare I can't come up with any
more I'm completely run out.


No balls, that's the trouble.


Ever so slightly bats, though.

Have you tried using Mrs H's hair drier or having a quick tumble?


There is no Mrs H, and a quick tumble sounds far too energetic.
I still have her hair drier and will report back presently (or
