Sunday

The Duckworth Lewis system will sometimes mean a side batting second in a one day cricket game may have a larger target to chase than the first team scored. For example today Surrey needed 292 to beath Somerset’s 290 as the innings had been reduced to 36 overs when Somerset were batting. This meant Somerset had been treating the first part of the innings as if it were a 40 over match not a 36 over match. This needed correcting and resulted in an extra run for the revised target.

Monday

Moles and Gerbils have pups.

Tuesday

Cats are injected in the back of the neck.

The End of the Day

I am aware that some people are great and beautiful poets, and i thought I would try something a bit more serious rather than my usual whimsical stuff

When the sun finally takes his final bow,
Exiting beneath the horizons mask.
As the daytime world goes to rest,
The creatures of the night stir their soul.
The owl ghosts through the sky,
The silent ruler of the night.
As the moon comes to rule the heavens,
While the stars twinkle in approval,
Its time for,
a Dominos Pizza…
or maybe a kebab,
but not one that looks like an elephants leg,
and just lettuce and tomato on it,
please.

Tribute to the Finest Star in the Northern Hemisphere

Twinkle twinkle little Alcor,
How i wonder what you’re for,
Up above the sky so faint,
Mizar’s rider ever so quaint,
Twinkle twinkle little Alcor,
My favourite star that I adore.
