Through a last-minute email, I played Cricket this afternoon for Clare. Unfortunately there was a severe lack of players, but a few people were drafted in by the captain to play. Unfortunately they spent the majority of their time taking in Sri Lankan, so the team spirit was not really there, but it was a good game, and we had a fantastic day for it. It's the perfect thing to be doing in the sunshine! I scored a cracking 10 runs, and wicket kept. It took me a few overs to get into keeping, given that I haven't done it since my days playing for the 3rd XI with Tiffin, but eventually I got the hang of it.

The evening was spent making a quick dinner and then heading down to the bar. Alex and Vicky discovered Cranberry Mojitos, and I drank J2O. It was nice to have an abstenance evening, and we had the bar pretty much entirely to ourself. It was nice to have a chat with the bar staff, play a game of pool and laze around on the sofas for 2 hours.
