Keep On Swimming!

It’s Monday again… How did that happen?!

Been a busy weekend for us. What with Pop’s Birthday and things I knew it would be mad, but certain things you can’t anticipate! I forgot, for a start, that we were meant to be going visiting with the in-laws on Saturday, so my beautifully laid plans for this weekend went out the window! 

Then Lil Man went for his first Cricket training… Amd he totally smashed it! The coach was amazed at his leftie bowling talent, and requested he be signed up for the team to play this coming Friday! He was invited for a one to one nets training session on the Sunday, so we duly went to the shops on Sunday morning to kit him up. Whites bought and his first box! How funny! 

But cricket trousers come with the hem undone, so I would need to hem them before Friday.

The nets went brilliantly… So brilliantly they asked that he be signed up immediately,and play on Monday, as in tonight!!

No pressure!!!

So, trousers hemmed, kit ready for his first match. Just hope that it doesn’t rain, and the match gets cancelled. He is so excited!

It’s also the last week before half term…


I can always tell we are due a holiday as my energy starts to flag, the kids at home and school start getting rattier and rattier. It hasn’t helped that I forgot my Vitamin D tablets recently, and I’ve been flaking out so early in the evenings.

But…


I have a little secret…

I can’t be more specific at the moment. But needless to say, these holidays are going to be a week to remember for a very positive reason!

It may mean I am a little indisposed for few days, challenge entire may be delayed, but they will be done!

I’m so excited! 

And I’ll share very soon!!!

Have a wonderful Monday Peeps!

Flash Fiction Foray #14 – Come On England!

Yup yup, it’s FFF time again!

This week The Book Blogger, Matt, has the cricket in mind and has given us Come On England by the Barmy Army.

Check it out here!

Well, here is my offering this week.. Loosely based on reality. My brother was a player for Warwickshire when he was younger, we’re Indian, cricket runs in our blood, apparently, but still I had/have no interest in the game…!  Unless it’s a gripping last few overs!

I buried my head into my book as deep as I could. It was a great storyline, and as I was gripped by curiosity, time and again, the roar from my family would drag me back to reality.

Yup, I was the sole non-cricket supporter, in a full on Barmy Army family. No match missed… And if England were playing, there was no hope. 

I couldn’t even slip to my room… My father insisted we sit as a family to support our nation.

But secretly, the lure of those last few balls, even got me hooked!   

Come On England!!!!!

Howzat!!!!

Hope you enjoyed it!

Mummy, what’s that creature???

Well, not the question you anticipate on the way to Brum, but yes, that’s what Lil Princess asked, as I’m speeding, responsibly up the M1…
Creature? What creature? I scanned the views… No farm animals, or wild animals… Then I realized she was looking at the foot well, inside the car…?!?!
Imaginary creature, obviously then!
Nope…
We had an illegal Kentish migrant stow away in the car, for our journey!

A little cricket, me thinks! And boy did he jump, before being coaxed outta my vehicle!
Last time we drove to the Dirty Dancing sound track.
This time , a different beat!

And I’m home now! For a few days, time to act childish myself!!! Have a good un folks!!!

But I Smile Anyway...
