Getting worried....
Not posted anything for a few days I know, but basically we've been gone on a boat trip in the backwaters which involved a nights "sleep" that was the hottest we've ever endured and no sleep was had, and we're now in Varkala - very touristy and nice beach. But there's one problem....
....there are storms every night as the monsoon seems to have come early. This is seriously not good because it knocks the TV out....so not only is the TV not working yet (a technician is working on it as I type), but when it does work again, the TV may stop working again if we have the usual evening storm. Why am I getting worried? In case anyone reading this didn't realise it's the world cup final tonight (cricket), starting in 1 hour 15 minutes. Michelle, it goes without saying, is not worried about the TV not working in the slightest!
The only saving grace is that I just met someone worse off...a mad Man U supporter. He wanted to watch the football which started 10 minutes ago but he can't as the TV isn't working. He is either sufficiently mad/loaded/committed (pick whichever you deem appropriate) that he went off to go and phone his mum and get her to leave the phone next to 5 live on the radio!!! Needless to say (or is it needless???), I won't be doing that for the cricket if the TV still isn't working....

I don't know if you got to see the cricket, but if you didn't I shouldn't worry too much! Australia duly won a match shortened, interrupted and ultimately ruined by rain. A fitting end to an overlong and disorganised tournament, further marred by Bob Woolmer's death. The ICC (or preferably a more competent replacement body) needs seriously to consider the format of the next World Cup. In England the inept performance of our team has undone (and more) all the good that the Ashes series earned. I will be interested to see what the attendances are like at the test matches this summer: they may be saved by the fact that most of the tickets were probably sold before it became evident from our performances in the West Indies just how weak our side is. It will be interesting to see what the new coach makes of a team low in talent, form and morale.
PS. Your Man Utd fan should be happy, the Premiership is as good as theirs!
