That is some of the best seam bowling I’ve seen since Broad and Anderson. Can’t believe they didn’t get a wicket.

Just when I thought Issy Wong couldn’t get any cooler, she goes and wears a Broady style headband

Grateful as I was that the humidity made the boy’s swing bowling unplayable last night, I am now sweating like a pig and it’s not yet 8 o’clock

Arise Sir Kevin ❤️ Actual tears. Still think of him as my idiotic kid brother’s sensible mate. Proud doesn’t cover it.

Literally the first time I ever predicted a Eurovision winner. Maybe I’m down with the kids. Suspect more likely the oldies are voting. Bhangaranga.

Didn’t have time to take a photo because I was using my phone to keep score but I got to see a beautiful sunset over Regents Park last night as I watched my boy play cricket. Sooo much better than standing in the freezing rain on the side of a muddy football pitch. #cricketmum > #footballmum any day

#worldbooknight Because I’m jealous he wrote this one when I thought I was too old to read about anthropomorphic mice in an Abbey eating delicious food (the boy is 2 books ahead already…)

And just like that it appeared on my phone in time. I could be watching Aussie Rules if I really wanted. I don’t.

So the HBO Max app is said to be expected on 28 March but TNT moves there on 26 March 🤔

Whilst I spend a fair amount of my time overwhelmed by the pace of technological change, I am right this moment charging my phone on an electric bus and I am all for it.

OH is working on the boy’s musical education. We’ve got Revolver on. He’s now wandering the house singing “we all play in blue and tangerine”. My work here is done. #oafc

I’m getting fed up of getting little to no 4/5g signal. Currently on giffgaff, which uses 02 network. Considering switch to leaves, which uses Vodafone. Anyone any experience of whether it’s any better?

It’s that time of year again when I must point out that kids love the Hundred and that cricket has no future without kids. Test match tickets cost upwards of £150. We’re taking the family for less than £100 today to see international stars. T20 blast is a beer fest so we don’t go.
