Supplemental to my cricket related entry last Saturday, today I went to Charlton park again to see if there was a cricket match. Unfortunately there wasn’t, so a trundled from there on to the cricket club. There wasn’t a match there either, but rather cooly I found some of the guys I know from the Mighty Eights cricket team there for training. They were sat outside the clubhouse with a large jug of beer. I spent a while there catching up with them, not having seen them in several months.

I was told that their first match will be in two weeks, so that’s something to look forward in. It seems that summer is certainly on its way. Having been watching the Blackheath Mighty Eights for over a decade now, I have got to know them, and regard many of the players as friends. Of course they recognised me earlier, and greeted me rather warmly. To be honest. outside of my visit to the cinema with John, it felt like my first whiff of social activity in a while. It was nice to catch up with them, but I better say that I left before I was offered any of the beer.
