And that's what I love about you 
Hubby's watching it right now in the other room, he's pointed out to me how many English are over there to support them, that's a long way and a lot of money but some lovers of different sports seem prepared to travel anywhere no matter the cost lol.
I'll stick some Aggers on on six when I nod off.
Although I'm not watching it atm I actually don't mind watching Cricket, or Golf (that hubby also loves as well as other sports) of all the sports I find those two the most relaxing to watch. When it's Golf tournaments in the US the courses are so beautiful so I'm often looking at all the flora in the background and listening to the birds singing 
One sport I really can't stand that hubby also loves is football

Augusta's coming up. Manicured to within an inch and the best for this dolelite who works nights disguised as Batman.

I think R5SX may get you though the night unless Aggers can't.

Their courses are just so perfect I'm not keen on links courses, they're not pretty your mention of Batman reminds me of an episode of Only Fools and Horses

It's a similar line YR but with a remapped Impreza.

Sorry! I'm so used to apologising for my behaviour these days.
I think I crossed a wire here - appols Xochi.
Aye the boss is laid up so had better weeks.

Maybe just stand still for a while to see which direction you're going in
Think I'm hitting the hay.
Night girls - catch you later

As if!
I'd be fascinated to know what my boundaries are perceived to be by you!
Look after the boss however.

Night Velvet, sleep well and warmly 
NZ must have declared! I must have been in the loo/on the phone! 
However. England 139/0 in their second innings atm. However, a draw would be a remarkable turnaround for them atm!
So I don't know the declaration score from NZ but as I sign out here tonight, England are 153/0 in their second innings! 
At stumps England are 234-1, Cook out for 116.
Compton not out 102, his first test century.

Thereâs Neil Harvey standing at leg slip with his legs wide apart, waiting for a tickle
The bowlerâs Holding, the batsmanâs Willey
On the first day, Logie decided to chance his arm and it came off.
Ray Illingworth has just relieved himself at the pavilion end.â
Welcome to Worcester where youâve just missed seeing Barry Richards hitting one of Basil DâOliveiraâs balls clean out of the ground

Brilliant erin! 
329-2 at lunch. We (EnglandandWales) lead by 46 as they come back on to bat .
Stayed up till tea.
Still only 89 runs ahead I believe. It has been an amazingly boring session!
Vids, do leave the stumps score again ta.

Don't fret Vids. Of course I'm watching the traditional collapse a bit longer now. Matt Prior is always good value 'cos he can often save the day!
Actually, can't keep me eyes open anymore Vids. 
Do still leave the score tomorrow though please.
No problem Xochiquetzal, Im more than happy to stay to watch the cricket , which is now over.
Play finally was called off with England 421-6, Bell and Prior the not out batsmen...a tame draw in the end...with the typical England minor scare near the end lol.
OK, I'm hoping you'll update here for me in the morning Vids.
Bailing out of the first day of the 2nd Test match as it is numbingly boring! atm England 134-1 on a flat pitch in the 47th over.
372/6
