can it really be amonth since I last wrote?

Well yes. But there are good reasons for that m'lud. Firstly my girlfriend broke her wrist so I have been having to drive her to work before hopping on a train to London every day. Then the same thing in reverse. This has meant that I am not working my full hours and have to cram everything into a shorter time. Secondly, I'm knackered because of it. Thirdly we are now in the busiest time of the year at work, and to make matters worse a third party is trying to sink our charity.

So here I am, back again, not really raring to go but I thought i had better stop the rot.

What's happened in the past month? It's kind of hard to recall. But here are a few highlights.

A couple of days ago I met up with an old University friend. I knew I hadn't seen her for a while but it turns out that I hadn't seen her for 5 years and a day. since her wedding day in fact. Time really does pass quickly as you get older.

A couple of weeks ago I made a big leap and changed cricket clubs. I had played for my old club for 8 years and needed a change. I have been playing formy new club on Sundays but now I have gone the whole hog and will be playing Saturday and sunday throughout the Summer.

Talking of which I hope the Summer will turn up at some point. Because we are now a good way through Spring (according to the calendar) and yet Winter seems to be reticent to leave. Despite what I have just said the garden is starting to come to life with my bulbs making an appearance. It's nice to have some colour in the garden after the drabness of the past few months.

The football season is drawing to a close and my team seems to be stumbling in its efforts to gain automatic promotion. Just 8 games to go now and we need 5 wins if we are to avoid the dreaded play-offs.

Other than that, I don't think there is much to report that would interest anyone. So I'll stop until something comes to mind.

Good to be back!
