Now for many years I have been claiming the slightly less hairy spot on the back of my head is a crown, this week I realised to my horror after coming out of the shower, it is in fact a bald spot. I think this is a sign of maturity, also I thank heaven that I have far more hair than my brother Bill! who is also ginger.... poor fella.

Its Sunday tomorrow, and I am back on the cricket pitch (as well as aged brother Bill) in Billericay, my first game for a while, and I have not been near a bat or ball for nearly two weeks, add on that fact that last weeks diet in France included gallons of red wine and fine food, and the game is 40 overs, I am rather concerned for my well being tomorrow evening!
