11.5 Pete ”WG Grace” Jones...

I’m sorry to admit this, but I really enjoyed myself playing cricket today. We play on a system of runs ÷ wickets fallen – our average was 17 and with the opposition needing to get 87 runs from 10 balls. They sent in Pete ”WG Grace” Jones...well, he did get two. Quite a good laugh – it’s only when you play cricket seriously that the fun ends.

Sarah H , who I’ve always regarded as the village snob, for some unfounded reason has started High School today – i.e. travels on our school bus. She is supposed to have attempted suicide over some boy problem or other and developed anorexia (fear of eating, can lead to death). From a purely psychological standpoint it would be interesting to see how the mind of a neurotic works – you know, something vaguely similar to a DD – Nicole situation. Physical comparison to the latter party could also be made!
