with a four-year-old… so far I’ve had to explain what a cathedral is (she’s calling it a shouty house), how a trombone works and that not every man with white hair is the King.
Referring to all things in the house in a

style, just made the ‘Omelette of fiery destiny’ in the ‘Pan of eternal salvation’, using the ‘Spatula of temporal justice’
I’ve been watching snooker on telly for over 30 years and I still move my head to improve the angle I can see the ball from, an angle which changes in no way due to this influence.
Ridiculous cricket being ridiculous again. Pitch inspection at 12:15, pitch fine, play to begin at 12:20. There is no excuse for this not being the case.
#Ashes2023
There will be a pitch inspection at 1215 BST.
If play can begin with no further rain then lunch will be taken at 1220 with play beginning at 1300.

Cricket watershed moment tonight: I saw Dominic Drakes play, I used to watch Vasbert Drakes play, this is the first time I’ve watched a professional play who is the son of someone I have seen play. I am now old.

I’ve been watching Test Cricket since 1991 and I have never seen an Aussie side look nervous and under pressure. It is absolutely delicious. 🏏

. There's now someone available who won the Ashes four times, if you were perhaps looking to replace someone who only won it once.
This story features chicken, pumpkin soup, David Warner, Jonny Bairstow, and a whole cast of witnesses 😂
Step into the lunch room after Bairstow was stumped at Lord's...

Proud Dad moment yesterday, driving past Birmingham on the way to Cov on the M6
"Look pud, that's Birmingham over there"
"That's where the cricket lives, Daddy"

Only been watching the Corrie-bobs for 5 minutes and they’ve already featured Jay Blades, Sebastian Coe and Barbara Streisand. This is going to be an incredible piece of television padding

Moeen Ali has confirmed his re-retirement from Tests with a brilliant line to Mel Jones on Sky Sports 😅
He finishes with 3,031 runs and 201 wickets - a wonderful career 👏
#Ashes2023
Send both teams to me. I’ll move the kids toys out the way. Backyard rules, one hand one bounce counts, over and out, be nice to Marnus cos it’s his ball and if he has a strop and goes home it’s game over.

tonight for ‘The Snow Queen’.
And their curtain-raisers Connextions Dance.
Inclusion matters.
I've just paid £20 for a cinema ticket. Sure it's Oppenheimer in opening week in IMAX.... but £20!

The Fatboy Slim documentary on Sky is well worth a watch.
If you work in the events industry it will give you panic dreams but also some lovely early 00s nostalgia.
I am treading a very fine tightrope right now, Mrs. Otisbear wants a lie down, I need to take Child 1 to the shops, but at 10:55 Stuart Broad will walk out as a Test Match cricketer for the last time. I need to have Mrs. OB lying down by 10:50 but still not be ready for the shops
The eldest is making me read all the Mr. Men books for the second time.
They’re absolute bobbins.
Badly written, knowingly ‘clever’ syntax which is irritating and the message of most of them is ‘change yourself to fit in with other people’.
Garbage.
Joy. Grabbed a pair of socks from the drawer and they’re a rogue new pair. Never been worn. I haven’t bought new socks for months. Better than winning the Euromillions.

theory which is based only on my sleep-oppressed brain + something RTD said in 'Unleashed' about doing things never done in Who and putting here so there's a record on the outside chance I'm right.. the Doctor dies in 'The Giggle' and Rose regenerates into Ncuti
For Christmas Sue bought me a science garden. To start with we’ve been growing basil and after a bumper crop, last week we had a harvest and I made pesto.
Next up, strawberries, tomatoes and chillis.
