Hmmm.
I am looking outside at blue sky but have just received word from my skipper that tomorrow's cricket game has been 'washed out'. The groundsman has apparently taken the decision to close the ground.
It is frustrating but will give me the chance to do a few other things which I need to do.

While our cricket might simply be washed out on Saturday it wont be drowned out as it is in Worcestershire.

Cricket
It has been good to get into cricket this year after last season's early efforts.
Having now played six games I have had one 'not out' and five other innings for a total of 150 runs. This is quite good for me and I am really enjoying my cricket.
I was a little sore after the latest game. The batsmen kept hitting half chances in my general direction. I did lots of diving around and only had muddy trousers and sore muscles as a result - no catches.
The big question for this week is whether we will get a game in as the weather has been very poor lately and we were lucky to complete our game last week. The weather went around us. However, this week's weather forecast is looking worse.

Job Hunting
While Natalie has a job lined up when we return to Sydney I am now in the process of looking for work.
At this stage I hope to stay in the IT industry, working in marketing. I have been enjoying what I am doing. While it has its moments, like any type of job, it is an exciting industry to be in, especially when you are with a young company.
So if you know of an IT company in Sydney looking for a marketing manager point them in my direction, please. :)

Home, James
You may have heard some rumours that we are coming home. Well, I am here to tell you that yes, unlike 99% of all rumours, this is one of the 1% you can trust.
We leave London on July 19 and fly via the USA before arriving back in Sydney on July 27. It is very exciting for us and we are looking forward to seeing our friends back home.
Here in London we have already started the process of saying 'goodbye'. It is sad in some ways because we have some really good friends over here who I know we will miss.
My big hope for our return is that the Penrith Panthers learn how to win NRL games between now and then because at this stage the prospect of returning to Penrith Park to watch them get thumped is unappealing. That said, it will be good to watch the game which still holds greater appeal for me than English football.

We have a bit of catching up to do around here.
There has been a bit on in our lives lately, so here are the details:
My Mum's Visit
My Mum had to go home early because she tore ligaments in her ankle when she fell down a stair at the train station in Brugge upon her arrival there.
The Cotswolds
We took Neil, Holly and my Mum up to the Cotswolds in the first weekend of June. We had great weather and we ventured onto Bath on the Sunday. Bath was a very short visit because really, unless you want to spend hours wandering the streets or staring vaguely at the Roman baths there doesn't seem to be a lot to look at. Oh yes, Jane Austen lived there. But really, why get so excited about the life of the precursor to Barbara Cartland?
Wicked
Natalie and I saw 'Wicked' the musical on Wednesday night. It was a terrific show. I didn't quite get so excited by the music, but the story was good, the acting very good and the lighting and special effects were awesome.
