Brille en Pille

It's official, I'm growing up, actually it's worse, I'm getting old.

On Tuesday, despite putting it off as long as possible, I got some reading glasses. Have to admit, it's made a big difference, but that does not mean I like it.

I don't think I'm ready to post a picture yet.

Milford vs Takapuna

This afternoon milford school's A team played Takapuna's cricket team.

This is how I remember it.

Mitchel falls for a duck after lasting only a few balls.
I come to meet Lawrence at the crease.
The rain stops play for 3 minutes.
We come back to the field.
Lawrence gets bowled after trying really hard to bring up his 20. (The number we had to retire on)
Finn comes to the crease.
I hit a six in the long off area.
I get a single and went off to an applause.(I got 20 :D)
Finn gets run out after his partner hits a ball straight to the bowler it comes off his had and onto the stumps. (How unlucky)
Nick hits a few good shots and Andrew couldn't hit anything :(
Innings comes to an end.

Finn takes a wicket on the first ball of the innings.
Danger man Cullem comes to the crease.
Cullem doesn't last long and gets dismissed in the next over.
The partnership lasts fairly long but finally ends.
I come on to bowl my only over.
Most balls were full tosses but the one that bounced was caught. :D

End of game:D

The winner is Milford.
We won by around 70 runs!:D

Cricket tournament

A couple of weeks ago was the cricket tournaments.
Mine was the last one on a Friday.
Heres how it went:

Arrived at school early put my bag down.
Noticed my hat wasn't in my bag and had to go through room 2 to get it.
Got into the car with my bag and set off.
When there realized in wrong parking lot.
Ran across the field and arrived at correct field.
Did some practice in the nets.(Constantly being told to keep my arm straight)
Patrick watched the first game even though I didn't bat:(
Second game won again.
Third game got hit in the forehead while batting. :(
Still won.
Sausage sizzles during lunch bought some of the other kids some too.
Game against our rival team (Cambells bay school)
Got hit in the forehead again.
Lost our 1st match.
Beat another school.
Came 4th in the finals.

Februarys news

Elizabeth and Timothy beat Drawn To Life.

Thats the main details of February

Win number 2

Yes we did it! We finally won our 2nd cricket game of the year!

I opened the batting (as usual) but not with my regular partner.

I felt fairly disappointed with my batting only scoring 15 runs.

My bowling on the other had was back and up to form but I took no wickets.

Good news is that I didn't get much runs conceded off my bowling.

One more wicket keeper catch was good after the batsman was getting a few lucky top edges over my head so I was glad to take the catch.

The rest of the team played really well as well and that is what helped us win by 11 runs.

Go Fish

A while ago we were given some freshly caught snapper. Nadia cooked it for us and it was lovely.

The next day while driving somebody mentioned that the fish was great.

Patrick: And to think, yesterday morning it was happily swimming around in the sea.

Nadia: Ag shame

Patrick: Maybe it was his birthday.

We drove home in silence.
