They don't seem to be learning anything from previous mistakes or what the opposition do well. Just the awful "it's the way we play".

2 years of planning for this. 2 years of meetings that seemingly went:

Key "Will we win?"

Baz "Yeah baby"

Stokes "Cool, to the golf course"

Root "Shouldn't we bat lots to practice?"

Key, Baz, Stokes "Uuurrrgggh you're so boring, to the 1st tee"

Root "I'll bat thanks"

Talking TV theme tunes as this belter came up. A stone cold classic 😎

It was awful, Clare stayed so calm driving. I'd have been a gibbering wreck behind the wheel 😱

Morning Jules, morning all. Up earlier this morning so tea and watching the mist in the fields around Glastonbury Tor. We did very little yesterday and relaxed afterwards 😄 Deserved after a horrendous drive on Monday, today may be spent pootling but only after an unrushed morning 😎

Hope the tests give some answers and you're feeling better soon ❤️

I had 2 friends due to be there, the horror when I saw the pictures in the old TV shops, fortunately they'd missed the train. I often think if I was feeling that what must direct relatives have thought. All for it to be blamed on them, aided by The S*n. A disgrace nobody has been charged.

Wondered what a Brice bonus was 🤣

I’d like to make a Wikipedia of skills, so they aren’t lost; map reading, crochet, dry stone walling etc.

What skill could you contribute?

The Chanel and Christian Dior shops on Bond Street in London. Chanel has its Christmas lights to make appear the shop is wrapped in a huge bow. Dior looks more like a tree front with gold ornaments

Morning Didi, morning all. London was sooooo busy on Saturday, plus trains cancelled, tubes stations closed it was carnage. Littlest said "it was the most exciting day ever" oh to see through 4 year old eyes 😂
Drive to Somerset looks like it's going to be awful, but relaxation awaits 😎

Hope you and Mum can share a smile as well as a tear ❤️

🤣

Been to London today with the family, bloody Sadiq Khan, if weren't for all the Christmas lights, all the shops done up with Christmas stuff, all the pop up Christmas shops, more Christmas lights and Merry Christmas written everywhere you wouldn't know it was Christmas. Bloody Sadiq Khan 😉

I think there's a few on Clare's list 😏

😂

So did I we're walking there 😂😂

Sorry for being dim, but that's not unusual 🤣 near Glastonbury 😊

Hamleys for the little ones (and us big kids 😂) then Carnaby Street, Oxford Street, Bond Street and somewhere else I'm told to go to 😂🤣

Near Glastonbury ish, same place we stayed earlier in the year which we both thoroughly enjoyed 😊

Morning Countess, morning all. A day of pottering as kids,other halves and grandkids & us are off to That There London tomorrow to see the lights. So I'm saving my legs, I've already said I'm pinching the little one's pushchair.
Monday we're back off to Somerset as it was so lovely last time 😀😀

I just saw it again and had to share, the timing is just magical

On Ernie Wise's birthday, a classic Morecambe & Wise moment 😍

😂

That may factor into it 😏😴

😂

Morning Cats, morning all. Rubbish night and a drive this morning too, sounds like a fine excuse for a lazy afternoon watching the curling. Yep curling, it's such a relaxing sport to watch 🥌🥌

Morning MDW, morning all. I've got to take the lad to work so normally say "Hello" when I'm back, but I saw @rachel-longlegs.bsky.social mention chocolate cake for breakfast so I thought I better get in sharpish 😂

Twitter accounts are based in Russia. BlueSky accounts are based in homes with, frankly, too many books, plants, obsolete cables, and pieces of rustic pottery, that could do with a bit of a tidying up, to be honest.

That's too kind, 😊

Thank you, lots to be happy about which keeps me smiling ❤️
