July 19th (Sat)

Things are getting busy and lucrative on the work front, and I also have a decent bunch at the moment which is making it quite a pleasant experience. Been doing this now for about 15 months and I would have to say it's probably exceeding expectations.
A & G are my Saturday companions. A has his test on Wednesday and should walk it, but then we said that last time! G is great. She worries too much but is pretty good and no trouble at all.
The pm is spent gawping at England's demise up at Headingley. They bowl and bowl and bowl, and wickets just don't happen and SA just bat serenely and unhurriedly on.
In the evening we actually meet the neighbours. We go over to J&K and D & C are also there. There's not much space, K perching on a sideboard and J on a hard chair, but it's an interesting evening, spent mainly chatting about our families and upbringings, which as C hails from Hong Kong, and K& J are South Africans of mixed Boer/English heritage, is more interesting than might be imagined. It's soon 1 am and it's been a lovely evening. I'd like to get the house sorted, get the kitchen organised, and cook for a dinner party. We'll see!
