It's been the best week for the Gloucestershire cricket team for some years. Won their second 4 day match of the season, won't face any sanctions over the hybrid pitch and then yesterday won the T20 final, their first trophy for 9 years

Slim, not much to note on the Talking Pictures tv channel over the coming week other than "The Lady from Shanghai" (1947) next Saturday at 21.05. A film noir directed by and starring Orson Welles, also starred Rita Hayworth and Everett Sloane. Best known for the mirror sequence at the end of the film. Has been shown on other channels over the years so you may have seen it before.

I think it's a good thing that they try to minimize the carbon footprint

Funnily enough El usually when I go into the garden I get a butterfly of so kind fluttering around me. I must be a butterfly magnet
