On to cricket matters... The England tour of NZ was great. I made it to one day's test cricket in the picturesque ground of Hamilton where I lounged on the grass banks and saw one of the best day's play I'd ever seen live. Lots of NZ wickets tumbling as England fought themselves into a winning position. Which they then blew the next day. Some better cricket followed in the remainder of the series and saw us triumph in the end. I could wear my England cap with pride again. I'm going to enjoy it while it lasts.
On a personal sporting level, our new 11-a-side Sunday League team, Eden Stallions, is up and running and after 2 games we top the table. Follow the link on the right to our website (remarkably similar looking to this one) containing match reports and a top scorers table (ahem) amongst other things. Due to a team from a higher division pulling out at the last minute there was a league restructure and we now find ourselves in a division with only 3 others.
In other news Jo and I have caught up on a few films. I've always avoided the Pianist for some reason but it's a fantastic film and almost makes me want to watch Schindler's List. Almost but not quite. We've also watched the Back to the Future trilogy... amazing. Watching it this time I realised a couple of things, namely Michael J Fox plays his daughter (don't think I noticed that before) and we're only 7 years away from hoverboards and hydrating pizzas. The world will be a better place...
