  1. @scotinfo yes I will see you there (with my OM10)
  2. Walked from Brick Lane to Waterloo (after a curry) and was rewarded with the sight of a hazy sunset from Southwark Bridge
  3. It was great at the end - West Indies bowlers peppering the England batsmen with short balls just like in the good old days
  4. @byekitty I thought we were going to end up at The Oval today, but West Indies are making a game of it
  5. The guy behind us forgot to bring a corkscrew and is offering a free glass of wine to anyone who can provide him with one
  6. @georgeryanuk yep! All three renewed. Just need Clint and Mousse to renew now
  7. Iron law of going to the cricket. No matter how much food you pack, most of it will be eaten while you wait for the first ball to be bowled
  8. Stood and listened to a great Bix Beiderbeck-ish band behind the Lord's pavilion until son and one of his two mates lost patience
  9. At Lord's with son and a couple of his friends to watch England v West Indies.
  10. Heading up to the Royal Mint (which Isaac Newton ran for a bit) to give a training course (for TFPL) on fileplans and retention rules
  11. @chris_p_walker I'll try and chuck in the odd typo
  12. The IRMS have asked me to do their conference twitter feed this year (maybe because I don't drink)
  13. Later I am meeting @johnddavies for lunch, then getting the train to Brussels
  14. Walking from Warren Street to Lord's cricket ground (to swap some tickets that I ordered for the wrong number of children)
  15. @RobertRHutton my wife ate it in the end- she said she felt like a Dickens character who has to eat cold porridge
  16. Made one bowl of porridge too many this morning. Not sure what to do with it
  17. Just spoke to my dad. Found out that he saw both Billy Liddell and Len Shackleton play live (at Anfield) when he was a kid
  18. @DaneAnne have you been to watch Denmark at a tournament before?
  19. @kreative_fr what would you want to interview me about?
  20. @cxcampbell I went over the Hogsmill and up Raeburn Road. I guess the rural route is along the Hogsmill - I'll try that next time
