Thursday 31 July - DAY 129

Haven't had a Queen track so far and given I've both used this on the "Lyrics" thread as well as it being apposite to my nominal end of shielding. I've had my letter, I am released into the wider community with the wider community measures now being the measures to follow. The letter is suitably ambiguous - I'm just like everybody else (we've had a Kinks track) until I'm not and I can be like everybody else until I can't.

Sunday July 27 - DAY 125

Another intra-club game, 40 overs and I did the Wendy Wimbushing again. I could get used to that, I must admit. Went to the wire again, son dragged on after getting a start and a very pleasant way to spend an afternoon.
