Today Alice made her debut at The Oval! We met @kaybee64.bsky.social , did the rooftop gardens, Dad got conned in the shop, we hit some balls on the outfield and visited the museum and sat in the pavilion.
"It was good cricket today dad" she said.."Can you bring me again?" @anniechave.bsky.social

I have to be honest and say the weekend was crappy sporting wise. ENG and Luton both got trounced, Lewis is depressed at Ferrari and McLaren were thrown out on a hair's breadth. Also Spoons rand out of 99p a pint Plumb Porter which totally sucked.

Probably one of the most striking Columbo endings.
At the end of the day he catches the crook- who was a damned clever one, who nearly outwitted the good Lieutenant- but after the arrest is made, the way he slumps down onto this table says a lot without saying anything.

I love COLUMBO because you know the murderer from the beginning. A returning actor just made it that much easier . . . crimereads.com/how-many-act...
How Many Actors Played Different Columbo Villains Multiple Times?
One of the funniest things about Columbo is that, despite the endless roster of illustrious guest-stars, you do tend to see the same actors again and again. I love this. It’s a hallmark of 20…

This afternoon's Columbo offering "How To Dial A Murder". A classic even with plot holes you could drive a bus through...

Sleep is going to be thin on the ground this week. Ashes from tomorrow morning at 2.30 and then Sat / Sun I've got the Grand Prix at 4am ! Cricket or F1 ? Don't make me choose like this .

It may be colder today but at least the sun is shining and I'd rather have that than it be warmer but pissing down all day !

I really need to get back into photography once more.
I had a bad experience doing street work when someone got arsy with me and it just put me right off. I have totally lost my bottle. I'd love to do sports photography again. I was good at that.

With the proviso that I’m always wrong - predictions for The Ashes
3-2 to Aus. No draws.
2 of our bowlers sent home with injuries. Oz losing 1 of theirs.
Centuries - Eng 4 Aus 7.
Six 5-fors on both sides. Little spin.
1 face to face row on the pitch & countless vitriolic headlines.
Little sleep!

I was up watching IND v SA in the first Test earlier. It only lasted less then three days but it was an epic game.

Even my reserve fixture of Hants v Surrey in the woman's Metro Bank looks like a potential washout ..
Just 2 days of work this week....Booked time off from Wednesday onwards to watch Surrey v Nottinghamshire but I think the weather is gonna push me towards the pub and allotment instead....
