Guide to this blog

The Blogroll is now in three parts. The main part is arranged according to the date the blog was last updated with the most recent first. Many blogs use the BDSMLR platform which does not include date information; they are in a separate Blogroll arranged alphabetically but I check from time to time and remove any that have been permanently closed. The final part is a list of interesting Twitter feeds - again in alphabetical order.

End of Summer Treat

As the great British summer appears to be pretty well over, my local supermarket is wanting to clear the section they had for outdoor toys for kids and is selling everything off.  Now my motivation for buying a kids cricket set was not for the miniature stumps - well made though they are, and certainly not for the plastic ball. It most definitely was not because I wanted to play cricket with some kids,  But I thought for four pounds, I could discard everything else and keep this little beauty.

I can confirm it's wooden, as you can see it's about 15 inches long, and weighs in at about 160g and has a nice rubbery non-slip covering to the handle  I would love to have someone around right now to try this out on but from a little bit of self experimentation I would describe it as a good attention grabber.

Your question 'stumps'. me. Is that a sticky wicket. or "How's that". For an answer. Or am I 'out of bounds'.
