This afternoon we went up to Lynn to visit our daughter, son-in-law, and grandson Tommy. When we got home, the postman had left a bulky padded envelope containing the DVDs of this summer’s thrilling Ashes cricket match series. Three DVDs, with eight hours coverage of one of the greatest sporting contests in history. So far I’ve watched the first disc: the First Test at Lord, when Australia got off to a wobbly start, destroyed England, and eventually won by 239 runs, and the thrilling Second Test at Edgbaston, when Australia put England in, stumbled, and then fought back to come within 2 runs of snatching victory. Tremendous stuff.
Two more discs… I know how I’m spending my time over the next couple of days.
