After 4 days on the trot, a day off from golf was due today - which was just as well as my energy supplier had to come by this morning to do one more last adaptation of my car charger and to carry out some final tests... after all, the new wagon is due for collection in only two days' time!
It was also good to get some time at home too to catch up on all the things that do not get done on days when you only return home from the course in the afternoon: lots of things ticked off my To Do list.
That I was not as efficient as I might have been, I blame on the England ODI XI. I started watching the game from the off and was soon hooked as Messrs Root and Buttler demonstrated that it is not only Auatralians and others from the Southern Hemisphere who can take an innings by the scruff of the neck. I did feel sorry for Jason Roy, out on the very first ball of the game, but after that there were lost of things to get excited about.
As the commentators on Sky insisted on calling them, "New England" performed on all cylinders breaking lots of records, including their highest score ever, together with the most sixes scored in an ODI and, evenutally their largest ever win.
The bowlers then did their bit and it was a real pleasure to watch an England one day side record a victory. But can they repeat it...? Or is it yet another false dawn: only time will tell!
