Music, hill walking, cricket, very occasionally might mention teeth.
Finished the refurb of this Stuart Surridge Jumbo. Went with the retro stickers for a proper 70’s Viv Richards vibe.

Another charity shop find. SS Jumbo in really good condition for its age.

Some excuses for John Lewis to try out post tour:
-Aus is in the southern hemisphere so the England team are technically upside down and can’t play that way.
-Fear of wombat attacks spooked the team.
-Vegemite has cricket enhancing properties that Marmite removes in manufacturing #WAshes

Losing 5 wickets for 17 runs is just not good enough. The coaching team will make more excuses and then we’ll see the same team this summer. #WAshes

Six bats to refurbish before the start of the cricket season.

@icelandcricket.bsky.social no cricket possible in Northumberland at this time of year so drinking beer and learning to play Hnefatafl whilst wearing a cricket jumper.

£5 in the charity shop today. Looking forward to getting this cleaned up and ready for action in the new year.

Had a brilliant couple of days up in Edinburgh. The Wonder Stuff were excellent as always. Saw some great art and ate some great food.

The dog started going mental this morning so I went to tell him to shut up and saw what he was woofing at in the front garden.

Reddy take a bow. What a shot that was! #AUSvIND

Atkinson’s pace seems quite a bit down. Late 70’s to early 80’s mph. Brilliant caught and bowled though. #NZvEng

India should have asked for the extra half hour and finished Australia off today…

Scruff enjoying the snow today.

The village FB group is full of people complaining that they’re stuck on the roads out and they haven’t been gritted.

You live in the Northumberland hills. It’s snowing heavily. Grit doesn’t stop snow settling.

Watching Australia v India on the laptop as the snow has blocked the satellite signal.

Twitter isn't the world's town square, it's a pub. Great when we all met up for a drink and a catch-up every week. Then a new landlord arrived, put a big England flag and his golliwog collection behind the bar and it was a magnet for his horrible EDL mates. Fuck that. We've found a better pub.
So I just posted this on Twitter & asked for views on it & the BlueSky exodus? Isn’t it just ceding ground to Musk? Zelensky didn’t pack his bags & decamp to Poland. Tell me why I’m wrong.

My favourite cricket moment of last season. Getting to open the batting with my daughter. She has probably forgiven me for running her out…
