My last playing day of the cricket season. Roughly 50 games, roughly 50 victims, a decent amount of runs scored. Really enjoyed this year, possibly more than any other season.

Today is the six year anniversary of us getting our cat, Vimto. Her previous name was Pussolini. There was no way in the world I was going to stand at the back door calling that out.
Tabby cat sat on an open laptop. This was taken a few years ago when I was still working. The cat was dropping subtle hints that it was time to retire and spend more time stroking her. So I did

Some personal cricket news. My league season has ended, surprisingly with me playing quite a few games. I'd retired from Saturdays, but got talked into coming back to help a team out who were struggling with numbers. Six games later, six wins and 4th place for me in the league's batting averages
7 games, 6 innings, 3 not outs, 130 runs, top score 69, 43.33 average for 4th place. All six innings were for my new team, Aldbrough St John, although my last game was the abandoned one for Middleton Tyas.

The ASJ logo is at the top, thanks to my teammate Martyn Cox, who averaged 75.

'Gangsters has a terrific soundtrack, again anticipating Tarantino. A careful placement of soul, mod and rock standards, ‘Take Good Care Of Yourself’, ‘Keep On Running’ and ‘Suspicious Minds’, mirror the plot.' An English Western: The BBC’s Gangsters at 50 buff.ly/2Pq74Lq

My boy is currently home alone cat sitting whilst the rest of us are on holiday in Latvia. The cat you may be able to make out isn't ours.
A cat flap photographed from inside. On the other side of the flap is pure darkness, except for 2 angry looking green eyes belonging to a local black cat, upset at having to wait almost 30 seconds to be fed

My cricket game today was abandoned when one of the players went off feeling unwell and then had a heart attack! I didn't get the chance to call him a softie as I played through my heart attack. And took a catch (but dropped 3)
