I blogged a week ago and mentioned the weather-well it seems just the same! It has rained on and off all day and the wind is unpleasant to be in. I cycled to Dursley yesterday and it was difficult riding into the wind going but I  flew home via Coaley just needed a sail (just avoided the downpour)! The rain is playing havoc with my cricket for both my games and the youth teams I run. All my games are already off this weekend.
I am hoping to play cricket for Gloucestershire over 50s sometime in the next 3 weeks.
I got another booking for something a bit different in July-it is in Bristol and it is connected to the Bristol pound-just waiting for details now. I have got a few stories connected to money but may need to write something new.
Talking of writing, worked hard on the Misty story yesterday afternoon. I am pleased because the story keeps developing and new twists keep coming to me. I am in the final part of the adventure but what is pleasing is as ideas come I tweak the earlier chapters so I can link them to the events at the ending. I probably won’t have much time this week to write because several social engagements.
Talking of social engagements we had one of our Book Club meals this week. It was on a Russian theme because our next book is Gorky’s My Childhood. The cooking from all of us was up to our usual high standard. Beetroot featured in several offerings including a cocktail Terry put together! In 2 months time it is a French meal at my house (Madame Bovary is the book).

I did manage to pop out for 25 mins between showers this evening to see what birds are about. Hundreds of swifts on the two lakes and with them so low got good views of them.
