How can I describe my Sunday. It was a good day but not a great day, nor one to be remembered. Dissatisfaction with myself was minimal and dissatisfaction with others was limitrgf to the English cricket team who once again failed to perform and are clearly heading for a humiliating defeat. In contrast Durham won again this time in the 40 over mini league where eight games are played. The significance of the win is that they were playing Middlesex CC away from home, the tem they will play in the semi finals of the 20 20 competition if they win the quarter final at home against Glamorgan. It was early on Sunday that I realised that I had misunderstood the form which said it had to be returned to the Box Office before start of play and immediate thought in terms of having to arrive for the 3.30 opening of gates on the day of the match. I realised that I could have posted back, or better still taken the form immediately to the box office on the Saturday morning. I therefore made the trip on Sunday just after lunch only to find there was no posting box for the main reception area so had to bring the form back home! During the afternoon and early evening I kept in contact with the Durham game at Middlesex via teletex although between 1pm and 3 while I watched Louis Hamilton win the German grand Prix, his second win in succession and which resulted in giving him a four point lead at the top of the table. Both events watched on TV engendered a good feeling.
The second George Gently, (played by Martin Shaw), police detective mystery set in 1960's North East failed to engage, despite an appearance by Geordie actor Tim Healey as a Pig Farmer. There was nothing original, quirky or startling about the programme or any sense of achievement in working out who did it, although not why, about half an hour before the end. I stayed on channel to watch the Vicar of Dibley where the highlight was a Marmite cake.
Although the sun came out early afternoon there was no inclination to attend the afternoon oldies rock concert in the park, the wisdom of which was confirmed with several harsh showers. A late lunch of roast chicken and the Formula One race out paid to going when the weather was at its best, I enjoyed a olive pasta in the evening with a ham sandwich for tea, with a Cornetto type ice cream, some grapes and a banana at various times during the day.
The main activity involved project work, planning the mini trips in weeks ahead and some work on photographs. It was a non descript day and therefore there is little, to say.
