Getting the taste of it again

Clearly Gay George (Not Actually Gay)'s influence is a good thing as having just about recovered from his hangover (passim) he jumped on a train down to London town and for supper with Naughty Nigel and TCO in readiness for a day at the test on Friday.

A day at the cricket with Naughty Nigel is always going to be a rather drunken affair but with the addition of TCO to his domestic arrangements they do now at least involve a certain amount of very fine food.

Despite the fine food they did not miss out on the fine booze either although, at one stage (11.15), Naughty Nigel did remarkably suggest that perhaps it was a bit too early to be drinking. Fortunately his concerns were assuaged when they spotted the happy scene two rows in front of them of a father with his two sons (and one rapidly emptying bottle of wine), they felt quite virtuous after that.

The first storm-burst was a rather tedious interruption to the day not least because he got soaked. A great value (hmm perhaps not) jumper was quickly picked up from the Lord's shop to keep him warm until the second storm-burst which soaked the blasted thing leaving him smelling of damp sheep for the rest of the day and night.
