So .... I get home from a walk at 11.40. At 47 -0 it's looking OK... At 11.52 it's 47-2, and I'm thinking of going for another walk.. At 11.54 Root survives first ball lbw review and I can feel my blood pressure rising... Now, will Root play Rootball, or bazball....?

Oh. Maybe too many people did what I did... Over the past week they have been using the outside space to "construct" a beer bar. For "construct", read put in a fridge and a few sofas and tables. Tonight I noticed a new sign... I lady behind the bar, otherwise empty. Inside "finit", her words.

A wander through boomerang yesterday afternoon, and... I did ask to take a pic and suggested the girls all hid... for the sake of my camera I'm glad they did. I'm not sure @Stillearly will be visiting...

Not for 1....

Much the same as you, figgy.... take it 3 times, 2ish minutes apart, and average them out. Omron device in the uk, a lazada special in Thailand, but it has WHO on it, so might be good.... Then an app on my phone that averages the averages.... My gp is happy for 135/85. In Thailand it's under that, back in the uk it's that or slightly over.

Forget the dogs... It's quite therapeutic just staring at it, rather like an open fire...

Watching my latest 120b lazada order do its thing.... Surprisingly good with the fluff, but gets horribly confused with chair and table legs....

I speak with mum 2 or 3 times a week. She uses Skype, and has done for probably 8 years. Every so often she sends an email saying Skype has stopped working, as if I can click my fingers and make it work.... Fortunately it usually sorts itself out. She also has Facebook, WhatsApp, and even Line, but can't use them. Except.... she can talk to both by brother's teenage kids and my brother on WhatsApp....

No....I think pic on the raised bit to the beach walkway opposite Mike's

Had to visit my mate Khun DIY this morning, so went to his tukcom emporium. The store in the basement looked at me aghast when I asked, even with Google translate. The one on the 2nd floor proudly showed me their range of air fryers. My wanderings didn't find any purifiers on display

Same same, and I'm just up the soi...!

😞 Embarrassing really.

Crawley will be out edging a cover drive Duckett caught behind driving a wide one. Pope bowled by a yorker Root, ramps Bumrah onto his helmet and is caught at square leg Bairstow hangs around for a few overs, then gets bowled behind his legs Stokes caught at cow corner And whilst the tail might wag a bit, it won't be enough. Abandon bazball? How dare you?!

Prediction... India will continue batting and scoring rapidly unit midway through session 2. Declare leaving England ~600 in 4 sessions. It'll all be over by end of day 4, lunchtime on day 5 latest. India win by 350. I hope I'm wrong...

In the uk 20° during the day, 16 at night, 8° whilst I'm abroad but programmed to return to 20/16 3 days before I return to heat the building up In Thailand, a/c is rarely run during the day, doors open and fan on. A/c is set to 25° if i use it during the evening, which is not often, and 24° in the bedroom at night, where it is always used.
