The Lord is gracious to them what is of an 'umble 'eart. Seeking to undo any good which the gym might have done, I bought a couple of bottles of Barossa Valley Estate GSM. En route to the car from the bottle-o, the bag broke. Both bottles crashed to the concrete roadway, but DID'NT BREAK 😇 🍷

Crêpes in a béchamel and spinach sauce is our concluding Shrovetide comestible. A Taylor’s Cab Merlot our last drop before the Lenten plonkfast. (Feast days, ie Sat Sundown to Sun Sundown, and declared Extraordinary Feast Days, excepted, like when nieces I haven’t seen for 40 years visit).

My desk is observing Ash Wednesday a day early by remembering that it is dust.

Queenslanders will understand. Pineapple is of the devil on pizza or burgers. But it is angel food when it comes from a pineapple.

Jimmy Carter, a visionary on ending fossil fuels, put solar panels on the White House. Big Oil-backed Ronald Reagan ousted Carter in 1980 and ripped them out
Tonight, as Carter lies in in state in the Capitol, a climate-fueled wildfire is destroying Reagan's former hometown of Pacific Palisades

I had hoped that Uzzie would make it to stumps. I suppose he did, in a way. The trouble is, if he's not picked for the Ashes - and I guess he won't be - the selectors, who are a shingle or two short of a roofline, will play someone out of position as an opener and then wonder why he fails 🏏🇦🇺🇮🇳

Happy New Year! Back from the gym, which I would have expected to be heaving with New Year Resolvers. But no, 3 others, including a rehab stroke patient assisted by his wife, and me. Now to undo the good work 😉 🥂 🍷 🍤 🥩

Dear friends, who shall remain anoNymouZ, gave me a portable infusion smoker for Christmas. We shall christen it later when we have a stab at smoking brie and camembert. So where will bread come from?

If I were Jaiswal, I'd be waiting in the tunnel with my bat to give Kohli the greeting he deserves. That was a dead cert single, and Jaiswal's call 🏏🇦🇺🇮🇳

Boland reminds me so much of another Victorian first change fast bowler, Peter Siddle. Not so many wickets as the superstars, but his nagging line and length and parsimony put pressure on frustrated batters to make mistakes when the superstars are bowling. 🏏🇦🇺🇮🇳
