20 years ago I cycled to Egbaston from Droitwich [where I was living] to watch the fourth day of the Ashes test match against Australia. I just turned up, paid on the turnstyle and watched the game. It was fantastic, with Botham scoring a 6, then being caught on the boundary by a highly baited Jeff Thomson, lots of everything. That was the last game of cricket I have been to, I just lost interest. But today, I must admit I have been keeping an eye on the score on the web - hard to imagine just turning up and getting admission though...
Derwood, my friend in the Californian desert who I visited in April sent me a photo of a rattlesnake he and his dog encountered in their yard, and managed to get rid of. Rattlesnakes are the colour of money, and just as deadly.
