So, it’s not like  I have nothing better to do… the last term of the academic year means my first set of end of year reports, and that is a BIG task!
But then my Blog Sis Erika throws me a spin ball, and I have to hit it! She has opened the challenge to write something romantic on a Tuesday! #RomanticTuesday.

Eternity – A Tanka
When two become one
Unspoken vows are taken
Simply, hearts exchanged
A love that lasts forever

Lil Man is going from strength to strength with his cricket!
He had had only 2 training sessions and played one match when we went to Finland, and my brother took him to the Team Finland Ground, where a match was being played.
He got to play in the nets there, and the Team Finland Chairman looked on.
No one could believe that he had only trained for 2 sessions!
And since then, he has played 2 more matches, and in each of the 3 he has played in, he has got 2 wickets! (6 in total!) And scored 20+ runs in the first two.
The last match, he didn’t bat, as they won before he was needed. (The win helped along by his 2 wickets though!)
But his left-handed bowling is sure taking the local cricket scene by storm!
So proud of my little cricketer!
(Though the washing of the whites, and getting grass stains out is not so much fun!)

Wow! Ron! Your challenge has hit it’s first century!
I was trying to be serious today, and wanted to write something really meaningful… it didn’t quite happen, all I could think of was silly stuff! Think it’s because I am in a heightened state of excitement with the Bloggers bash so close!
So here are my two entries!
