The China Pearl Inn part 7

[RobynTashaYa]

Match sticks keeping my eyes open for the final few overs. Got a bad feeling Chris, no appeals left, no reverse swing in that wicket and bad light threatening

 

[RobynTashaYa]

Right I’m off to bed. For England to take two wickets in the first two balls of the day and still draw is an indictment of Joe Root’s captaincy. What is it Chris? Thirteen overseas tests without a win? Ok, bed time.

These things come and go in cycles, I think, associated with having the best players. We might have to wait a bit to get back to a peak.

My granddad used to tell me of the great 1981 team that came back from being forced to follow on and beat the Aussies.

 

[chris2c4u]

Even in the last few years look at those who've gone: Vaughn, Strauss, Trott, Swann... the list goes on. It'll take a while.

 

[RobynTashaYa]

Do you play Chris? I normally play wicket keeper and middle order bat. I’m in training as we have team at OTS. I used to play at school and for a club in London before I joined the army.

No, not me. Besides being an ancient old duffer I've always been particularly useless at taking part in sport. Hope you have a good season. Women's cricket is going from strength to strength.

 

[Uggg]

Hiya everyone!

hope everyone else had Easters as fun as mine was.

*grabs a bottle of gin and slips under the bar for some quiet recovery time*

Uggg

Thanks for the wishes. Most of us Army girls are sports minded. I play football and rugby too.

Well I survived Passover, back for more on Saturday. Glad you had a good time. This place seems empty, no CG, LF, Shiva, SF, Luv2bfkd, Glad & others?

I'm sure they will all be slipping back in over the next day or so. LS said she was having a family Easter so I'm not sure how long that will go for.

Uggg

I don't know. When I moved in there were two of them, but they didn't announce their genders and I didn't bother to look.

Never heard him sing a song, but I supposed he could use a pitch higher than I can hear.

Awww bless him!

Had a few days at home for Easter then a couple of nights with a friend. Meeting up with my ‘West Pointer’ tomorrow and we’ll have a couple of nights together in London

Hope everyone had a great time. Chris I love cricket too, Robyn and I will be in the same team, I normally play opening bat.

I have been around, just didn't have anything to add to the cricket conversation. I have a vague idea of the game. You hit a ball with a wide paddle called a bat. Other than that, I know nothing about it.

I didn't do anything over the weekend except get groceries and do a load of laundry. Today is a blue sky overhead with clouds on the horizon, but no rain expected, kind of day.

Lenny is outside enjoying the sun and filling his stomach, wasn't much to eat in my house.

After the first, so I see Uggg is back in his under bar home. I would go crazy if my internet speed changed as the month went on. When it comes to the internet, I have a need for speed. LOL

That's your adventurous spirit at work right there .

It's frustrating but as LS keeps reminding me its a small price to pay for paradise.

I tried a new cocktail last week. Pims cup with gin. its good.

 

[chris2c4u]

Had a Manhattan today, in a cocktail bar whose ceiling was festooned in colourful bras. An old Lit friend's birthday to toast.

 

[cgraven]

I am off on the road an unexpected call so do take care of the inn for me Chris. and hug and kiss the gals for me.

 

[chris2c4u]

Hope it's OK CG, have a good trip.

According to the internet, a Pims cup is made with gin and fruit. So you had gin with gin? How Uggg!

I splurged this weekend and had a coke with my BLT sandwich. It was good and worth the sugar.

Hope all is well. Be careful driving. hugs

 

[chris2c4u]

Wonders where the line should form for the girls to kiss me. Just doing CG's instruction. It's tough but...

Well the one they made me had gin in but there was also a bottle actually called 'pims cup' and they poured some of that in too.It definitely wasn't gin because it had colour. Also there was juice and he may have put some ginger beer in it.

Chris I'm pretty sure he meant to tell you to hug and kiss me too...

He must have just forgot.

*puckers up*

Uggg

Hope CG gets back soon (eyes Uggg nervously) we're getting near the witching hour of 5K+ posts, the room'll need to regenerate soon.

 

[Uggg]

Wow that was quick. I this thread.

Uh oh, already? Last time I looked it was in the three thousands.

What is Pimm's liqueur made of?
Just "Pimm's and sparkling lemonade." Pimm's is a British gin-based liqueur with bitter herbs and citrus, also known as a "fruit cup" because it's meant to be mixed in a tall drink with an effervescent mixer and fruit garnish.

And you added gin to a gin based liqueur.

LOL, so I did! I really didn't know, honest.
