    Saw a lovely Red Admiral butterfly in the garden today. And it's sunny enough to dry the washing outside, so it'll be all fresh when I bring it in later. Delightful 🌞

    I hope the problem wasn't too costly to repair? Nothing to do with theses machines seems to be cheap!

    Just enjoyed my tea, and contemplating doing the dishes, showering, then walking Gus.

    Thanks for asking!

    We are staying in a hotel in Keswick, but will be visiting other areas.

    Thank you @Mary_Scope

    It was costly, £420! 😭

    You got it right, Chris, yep, cricket! 😎 I had good news on that too, as a thank you for our support, they're letting all members go to the final for free. So I got my money back on the ticket, that goes a little way towards the wheelchair motor!! πŸ˜‰ Mind you, it'll probably be rained off! 🀣

    I might have missed out, but I have absolutely no idea about cricket. I don't know about England, but I tend to think of private schools and posh clubs when I think of cricket. I have almost never seen lads playing it in the park, or had any introduction at school.

    There is a private cricket club about 7 miles away, and that looks posh. I also know the fee paying Dundee High School teach it (The school Ricky Ross went to).

    Anyway, glad you got the old jalopy back on the road!

    @ durhamjaide2001 - Nothing exciting, but it is as much 'cooking' as I manage now.

    I had 3 veggie sausages, a small baked (microwave) potato, and a generous amount of cannellini beans.

    oh it's lovely there @Bluebell21 there's a nice fish and chips shop there. We used to go on a Friday with respite when we stayed at the accommodation of Calvert Keswick.

    @Chris75_ that sounds nice I had tomato with toast last night for dinner one of my usuals

    Tomatoes on toast is very nice. I am a recent convert.

    Have you anything to report with regards to your move? It must be quite an exciting prospect!

    Thank you! ☺️

    All walks of life play cricket now, not just at private schools, state education is no barrier, including top players. There's a big push to get kids playing, boys & girls, playing in state schools, joining clubs & things. With the advent of The Hundred, a franchise shorter form of the game with just 100 balls to bowl, it has really got kids interested, which is what is needed. There was a guy who used to post on here that played for the Hampshire disability team.

    I once saw some Asian men playing cricket in a park in Aberdeen, but that must be one of the very rare instances I can recall.
