Long old day at the cricket in Chelmsford yesterday with Tom and George. Notts got the result before the end of day 3. Hot sunny day though not as hot as it is going to be tomorrow and the rest of the week where the forecast is to hit 35 degrees. We asked a steward for lunch recommendations to find out there were none in the ground so we nipped out and had a kebab at a Turkish restaurant down the road. Shish Meze in Moulsham Street. V good fair play. It was nice to get into some aircon. After the game we met THG and Hannah in The Orange Tree before walking back to Moulsham Street to the Balti King.
Today is the joint second longest day, I assume, based on the notion that the days either side of the equinox are of equal length. Doesn’t matter really. Up before five as it was already light and the day is not to be wasted. I did go out onto the deck but at this time in the morning there is still a chill in the air so came back in to the living room. I must say H&G have done a great job decorating their house.
I’m on standby this morning to take H&G to Bexley Heath (the ‘Eaf) to pick up their new car. Electric job. That’s about all I know about it. They did tell me. I had planned to take a stroll to watch the cricket but as you now know the game didn’t last into the fourth day. When I were a lad they were only three dayers anyway. Will find something else to do. THG is helping them sort the garden but tbh that ain’t ma thang, especially in this heat.
