I'm going to do this blog a little differently today. Normally, when I blog, I tell you what I've done from Oldest to most Recent events, whereas this time, I'm pretty much going backwards. Here goes...
Cricket
This deserves a mention due to the first win of the County Championship season for Durham, which finished in 2 days and an innings.
We were pretty much down and out as soon as we started on Friday, when we were bowled out for 102 in the first innings. Middlesex managed to get about 70 ahead and then on the Saturday we were effectively 35/7 by the time it started to rain on Saturday afternoon. We were all hoping the rain would stop so as not to prolong the agony of being relegated so soon in the season after a disappointing season so far. Durham though held on and kept fighting. 2 tailenders managed to get 60 runs, we bowled them out and ended up winning with 15 runs spare.
Also in cricketing news, Michael Di Venuto has retired from County Cricket due to the fact that his body couldnt take anymore, and has returned to Tazmania. Such a sad loss of an incredible talent, however, to my delight, he left me a cricket top with my friend to give me before he left. I was completely gobsmacked and over the moon.
Books
Daddy by Danielle Steele
This is the latest book which I have read, which warrants a mention in my blog. This told a story of a man whose wife went back to school and pretty much left him high and dry with 3 young kids and all of life's ups and downs to contend with. It is simply a feel good book, which makes you appreciate all aspects of a family, whether it is Mums, Dads, siblings, spouses etc. The whole moral of the story is to stick together, which is a moral that me and Chris have always held close to us. Especially now, with us buying a house, Chris earning money, me fighting against all the health issues, sticking together is such an important message, and so would be my advise to anyone!
