Cherished chatterers were uncharacteristically silent yesterday. I wonder why. It can’t have been the T20 cricket ‘cos rain stopped the Yarkshire match which they might otherwise have won. Just a regular Thursday. Was it hair-washing – again? Was it a dinner to celebrate the incomprehensible, nay skeletal Lord Home becoming PM in ’63? Or the ousting of Erik Honecker in the DDR on the same day in ’89? Or the release of the Guildford Four a day later? (Pause to remember the market researcher who asked a Dubliner what he thought of the Renault 5: “Not guilty, sirr!’) Probably not. I suspect the truth is much simpler. Life.

Well said sir.
I looked in in the morning, and again in the afternoon, There was now’t for me to expand on, nix for my southern viewpoint, zero! 😦 (Nothing will come of nothing*)
I do try.

Like the Renault joke 🙂
G’morgen, Soutie! Nice to see you. I’m planning to watch Kev play for the Daredevils later on. I hope he’s fired up and ready to entertain us.
Ah yes, KP or not KP
I see he’s in the squad for the India tour (1st test Nov 15)
Not wanting to rain on anybody’s parade (or wicket) it’s very wet along our coast at the moment, we’ve had 4 days of rain / drizzle with more to come, I hope it stays clear for Durbs today.
The ousting of Honecker is certainly something to celebrate, but otherwise, as you say, just Life. New granddaughter, son’s wedding arrangements, sunshine inviting me out for a walk, etc.
Similar distractions here too, Sheona.
New grandson, daughter’s wedding arrangements and decorating.
I’ve been away horse-sitting with the NSW – two stallions totalling about a ton-and-a-half of red meat on the hoof, not to mention the chickens,and ducks, I was given stern instructions beforehand accompanied by that look and am all omletted out as a result!

The pity is that the cartoon is right, but it has the captions on the wrong candidate.
