It’s a difficult one to keep emotions in check for everyone involved. But we do our best ❤️❤️

I don't disagree. I'm not sure I explained myself very well. I believe it would have been better had they kept him on the tour as an injured player rather than him announcing his retirement. He could've officially retired when he landed back home.

It could've been handled better. If he retired through injury then he could've been "injured" for the rest of the tour. Retire when he lands in England. Mid tour retirement isn't ever pretty.

I love Swanny and think he was a terrific bowler with a great attitude but his retirement left a stain.

Haha! We're very organised this year. Done and dusted before today is a good effort for us. We also managed to locate everything too (oh and so has Santa, apparently...)

It's such an emotional show. The writers are some of the best around.

What a crazy few weeks! Sorry I have been quiet on here. I suppose that's what happens when you have a little man born in December!

A busy and emotional couple of weeks for both kiddos. A few days to go now til the big man comes down our chimney! Then we can relax... hopefully🤞

Took a day off work today to tidy the garage. Started at 9.10 after the school run. Just finished. 6 hours later. 2 tip runs and a couple of coffees.

Smashed it! 👊

Hopefully we have enough room for any spare toys after the influx of a December birthday and Xmas 😬

Got woken up by a toy monkey hitting me in the face.

Absolute scenes!! Carnage.

Little man is throwing punches at my stomach and girlie is smashing me in the face with her monkey.

I survived. Just!

Off to make breakfast for my abusers now… 🤣

Does he bat there for Durham? Smith is certainly top order for Surrey too. Although you’ll know more than me in relation to Surrey.

I think they’ve accidentally stumbled on a solution to a problem that should never have existed.

1. Crawley
2. Duckett
3. Robinson (keeper)
4. Root
5. Brook
6. Pope
7. Stokes

Bethell sits out… for now.

Girlie tells me that I’m allowed to save her from monsters.

Of course I always will but it’s nice to have received the “call up”

If a governing body selects a host country (presumably in part voted by those playing the sport) and a team doesn't want to play there then they don't take part.

That's what happens in every other sport.

Christmas shopping with girlie this morning and we had fun but bought nothing. I presume this is considered “normal” 🤣

Quiet day here today!

Ballet cancelled for the girlie tomorrow so we’re off Xmas shopping.

All she knows is that there’ll be a big tree at the shopping centre so she’s excited 🤣

It's just as fun as when you get a mini version of your other half to deal with! The joy that brings... 🤣
