A close one

We had another cricket games this weekend and it was the last one of the year.(for me that is)

We won the toss and chose to field.

On my last over I bowled my balls of the year and only 2 runs came off the the over(I think)

Coming in at no.3 with Haydon told me 'you have got to get those runs'

I batted quite well too scoring 19 runs in 4 overs (the highest score in the team)

Hitting 2 fours helped a lot as Haydon on the other hand struggled to get runs(or even on strike as we kept running twice)

In the end a patnership of 24 runs as the last 2 batsman came out.

It was down to the last ball. Kumeu still had a chance to win. All they needed was a wicket to win and the batsman(not knowing they were winning) had to avoid getting out.

The ball was fast and went straight past the keeper and the batsman ran.

They could only run one overthrow or in this case byes but they didn't know that so they ran again but the umpire tryed to send them back which left them stranded in the middle of the pitch and the keeper threw it in and mist but a fielder got it and threw it in and ran the batsman out.

We had lost by 2 runs.


In the first innings I hit the stumps and the batsman, well I thought out of his crease but I didn't know and the umpires didn't see it so it could have been out.

So they gave him not out.

If only they were watching sigh

Snow globe (part 2)

After the broken snow globe at the Werehouse a few days latter doing Christmas shopping I saw snow globes. Being very happy about the low price (4.50)I would buy it next week.On the next day of Christmas shopping (Saturday)I was wondering when it was time for me to buy the snow globe.I continued to ask about it . Thinking that mummy was getting anoyed we finally went there. This time I "DID NOT"brake it.

ESFP - The Performers

The entertaining and friendly type. They are especially attuned to pleasure and beauty and like to fill their surroundings with soft fabrics, bright colors and sweet smells. They live in the present moment and don´t like to plan ahead - they are always in risk of exhausting themselves. The enjoy work that makes them able to help other people in a concrete and visible way. They tend to avoid conflicts and rarely initiate confrontation - qualities that can make it hard for them in management positions.

Snow Globe

Last Friday we went to the Warehouse. I went to the shoe department, Timothy to gaming and Elizabeth to toys. We agreed, I would catch up with them as soon as I’ve looked at ALL the shoes.

Half way through, a very worried looking, Timothy came to me and said Elizabeth broke something. Moments later a crying little girl appeared. Through the sobs she explained something about a snow globe and the toy isle. I said not to worry, we’ll go to the customer service and explain.

The lady at customer service was very nice and told Elizabeth it happens all the time and they will send someone to come clean the mess.

As we were walking away I said: “See I told you they will be nice about it”
A still sobbing Elizabeth replied: “That’s not why I’m crying”
Me: “Then why are you crying?”
Elizabeth: “It was the last one!!”
