Today’s title comes from that delightfully eccentric band The Duckworth Lewis Method and the above song always makes me smile – the song is about that ball of the century bowled by Shane Warne – if you like cricket try and listen to it! I chose that title for today because I watched the Test Match from Sri Lanka this morning. I have to say sitting watching cricket on a dull January morning did my mental health a power of good! Maybe an area for future NHS prescriptions!!!!

Further good news on the sporting front – Chelsea V The Mighty Hatters live on the BBC. Might be a pasting for us but under normal circumstances I would of been there so at least now I will be able to watch it! Better than nothing although obviously it would of been good to be there with thousands of other Hatters.  Luton for the Cup!!!!!
