Where I should have been
Sophia Gardens
…
Local rugby is biting the dust too!
Waterlogged pitches
I couldn’t tell if this was an April Fool’s day joke so I looked it up. From what I read, they cancel cricket if it rains, but they play outdoors in a country that rains a lot.
Football doesn’t get cancelled unless there’s feet of snow.
Is that your favourite spot? I used to sit about there,a bit more to the right.And not behind the sight screen
It doesn’t make much sense,does it?
I usually sit just to the left of the screen.
When I am there tomorrow I will be in the Members Stand.
They did play eventually.
But I was watching it on you tube.
Glamorgan
166/7 (33)
Cardiff UCCE
But we did invent it!
The time it takes to play and the vagaries of the weather makes it the most interesting game of sport there is.
Yeah but we shouldn’t be playing on April 1st nor on September 29th which is the last day of the season.
Causes problems with the rugby!
Today I am going to the cricket.
Wrapped up for Winter.

Lovely.
Photo test
For those who know Cardiff I’m in the Gatekeeper on Westgate Street.

I’ve eaten healthily all Winter!
Time for some junk
Hopefully my old cricket chum Dave Rob (Robinson) will be there too.He never misses a match if he can help it.Every season we’d have a big away day to Swansea
Sadly Swansea is no more.Ground falling apart.
We play in Neath instead.
Gloucester 165 all out.
Glam 4 without loss.
That’s a shock ! Glam’s second biggest town,home of the Balconiers and a Sober’s record.It’s a disgrace!!!
Council won’t spend money on it for one game a season and I’m advised the wicket is no longer up to standard.
It is barely fit for rugby…and I was there twice this season.
