Weekend Headache
I've still got a headache, a result of drinking lots of beer at our friends wedding reception last night. It's been a good couple of days...
Charlton won 1-0 (as I predicted!!!) at Birmingham to go second in the Premiership, Darren Bent scoring as he has in every game so far this season.
England have a great chance to win the Ashes, reversing the chances of last night by bowling the Aussies out for 367 (a deficit of 6 runs) before taking the various offers of bad light. Australia therefore need to take 9 English wickets, before knocking off the required runs tomorrow if they want to square the series and retain the Ashes. The weather forecast is good, so we should get a full days play. If England can bat until around 3pm they should be safe, but Warne may have other ideas... I'll be watching TV from the sofa all day and hopefully celebrating in the evening!
The weddding we went to was lovely (it was the first time I'd heard a vicar mention cross-dressing in a marraige ceremony!), and the reception good. We met a couple of very nice people - Charlie who chatted to us about Nikon cameras for a long while, and George, a lovely old man, who was great fun and took (I think) a shine to my girlfriend! We staggered home about midnight...
