We are the champions...

OK, I may be a JCL as the guardian over by over coverage calls them, but I'm rejoicing in our win of the ashes. It's been a long day of hitting reload on the web browser - I left dot on time today to get home and watch the end. Thanks to Tim and my office mates, I've learnt a lot about cricket over the last few weeks. We're looking forward to the two-hour smug-fest on Channel 4 on Saturday :-)

We had a lovely quiet weekend with both of us at home for a change. We had grand plans of going orienteering, as I'd found out about a permanent course in some local woodland. Unfortunately, the forest centre, which was supposed to have details, knew nothing about it. We've visited the forest centre before and weren't impressed then either - shame, as it should be a good day out. Still, Tim got plenty of studying done and I had a potter around the garden - I'm waiting for our rhubarb and gooseberries to be delivered :-)

Amusing video conference at work today - we couldn't hear the guys at the other end, so called in our technical specialist to check the connections. Turned out the volume had been turned down on the TV...

No talk of the cricket over here, so it has generally passed me by. Shame really as I think I could have got quite into it, unlike the current American Football season.

Ah, the old volume trick - classic. Sounds like a job for . . . . . .
