I have been getting up rather early the last few days to watch the Test Match in South Africa, very exciting it is too, as I write England need just two wickets to clinch the second test and go 1 up in the series. All in all its been a pretty good Test Match, it has similarities with England vs Australia during the summer, at the end of the First Test against Australia England had to battle for survival on the final day, and then went on to win the next test and the series, well in the First Test here England had to bat to survive, which they managed, and now in the Second Test her thanks to Englands excellent batting and some stunning bowling from Stuart Broad and Graham Swann England are on the verge of a massive victory, are we finally becoming a consistent top rated team? I think so.

Sunday night was one of those messy nights I have from time to time, we have decided to put on a Panto next Christmas for the District Scouts, I have been appointed Producer and chief writer, so 4 of us met up to put together a story line, our District Commisioner brought some food, ant the rest of us brought Gin, Bombay Sapphire to be precise! As you can imagine putting us in a room with gin has a certain effect, the measures where getting more outrageous as the evening progressed, we have a great storyline and started working on some sketches which to be honest were in places filth! luckily we have toned it down, but it does seem very funny in the cold light of day, all was going well until our DC produced a bottle of Merlin. Merlin is Penderyn Whisky's version of Baileys, and what a fine drink it is, by the end of the evening two bottles of Gin had gone as had Matt's fine bottle of Merlin! the rest of the evening descended into a giggling mess, and my poor son had to put up with his dad singing and then lying in bed giggling, poor lad, Monday morning was a tad quiet. I spent the best part of yesterday was spent writing the opening scenes, which have been done and looked at by those he need to and apparently it is funny, and most importantly suitable for a young audience, we have managed to cast the major roles, and for once I will not be wearing a dress!
