I’m still trying to comprehend the concept of being undefeated after 5 games.

Although Leics are at least maintaining some normalcy by not winning and being distinctly second best most of the time.

I’m sure my e-mail correspondent, Alastair, wouldn’t mind me replicating his comment to me after I sent him a link to this page:

“PS I liked your King Cricket piece: but most of all I like the ‘animals conspicuously ignoring cricket’ section: esp the pigeon on the rail at Lord’s staring at the crowd with its back to the activity on the square…delighted also to hear about the fox on the square: they have a hard time round here – Warwickshire Hunt country. I’m in the Oscar Wilde camp obvs. “

Ged had me bang to rights.

I can assure you that Ged is not standing over my shoulder while I type this, dictating my every keystroke.

[Daisy – he’s gaslighting you – look, behind, the ads are different – and you’re wearing different earrings – must be fake – amateur photoshop job, I’d say – probably even a different ground – get out while you can – good luck!]

Ged, you can look now.

Strangely, I was writing an e-mail to a friend on the subject of granting permission for pieces to be published and the long intervals, sometimes, between writing/granting and eventual publication. I wanted to show, as an example, one of my pieces on this site., only to discover that this piece, from nearly a year ago, had just gone up.

Daisy is not averse to her image being splashed on the internet in this way.

Here, for those who don’t mind reports that break the KC rules, is my hurriedly upped piece about that match – Daisy and I actually attended on two days of the Platty Joobs test:

Does Daisy know her image is being circulated on the world wide web?

In other news, it’s Rob Key’s birthday today. Speaking of pictures, I wonder if anyone knows of a suitable image of the great man with which to celebrate?
