Poor Askman

Got up early-ish and met Alex, Vicky and Erika (despite Tom’s squeals of joy he couldn’t make it for he is leaving tomorrow :o) for a trip to Sainsburys. We got a load of picnic-like stuff and went to see the Lashings vs CUCC cricket match at Fenners. It said on the flyer that it started at noon, so we arrived at 11.20 to try to get in on time, and the match didn’t start till 2.30pm – much to our despair. Still, the picnic was great fun. Sachin Tendulkar got 155 before being caught, and Chris Cairnes got a century. Geoff and his mate turned up at about 4pm the day after their may-ball, though I left at about 6.30 with them cos it was getting strangely cold, and CUCC were batting badly (or alternatively being bowled at amazingly).

That evening, Jen and me went out to get Ask take-away pizza, but it was not forthcoming – we were met by a knackered, pissed off waiter who politely informed us he would not be doing take-away for half an hour before poking his head out the door and screaming some order numbers down the road. Hehe – drunken students were running him ragged. We settled on Fish and Chips (well, sausage and chips) to fill our bellies.
