7 days to remember

What a week. What a week it's been! Darrell Hair's stubborn antics, Justin Gatlin exposed as a drug cheat, Chelsea losing at Middlesboro, 3 wins out of 3 for United, Arsenal losing to City, Everton beating Spurs, ..., and to top it all off, a great Challenge Cup Final, a nailbiting Grand prix and a teriffic C & G Final at Lords, the perfect way to end a traumatic week for cricket.

Oh, and I haven't even mentioned the Rolling Stones concert at Twickenham on Tuesday! Absolutely sensational!!!

Rain, rain, rain, ...

And so the rain goes on, beating down upon the windows, like a monsoon. And at the Oval, the gloom deepens, England looking to the heavens to save them from defeat in South London just as it had four years ago.

Peace, tranquility, silence

A nice day, a pleasant summer morning. The leaves rustling in the wind, quiet all around save for the occasional motor car, screaming up the road. No sign of the chaos afoot, the delays, the confusion, the fears, the arrests. A peaceful summer bliss - nature at its most beautiful, its most serene.
