So, with the dissertation long finished, my life has become pretty
settled... which is not so great after all... It's become relativelly
dull, especially when working in the RPA... the only hope is delivered
by efforts to put together a PhD proposal for Leeds Met and University
of Otago, NZ... We'll see what comes out of that... I find not studying
very disturbing... not that I wouldn't want to work.  It's just that
without some goal, deadline, where additional education/development  is
necessary, life becomes endless, in some way... And I am not ready for
that yet... not for another few years...

So, when the stress is over, it's time for some work and other
stress... But not today, it's too nice outside for stress inside. A
walk would do us good, therefore we shall stroll by the river and enjoy
the sunshine. Then, later, when the evening shades creep out, we shall
get back to our work. Until the dawn wakes us up...

    After almost 5 years of Prague-based cricket I've finally been able to play a proper game of cricket in England. My new club, Alphington CC, played in a friendly fixture against Kentisbeare CC.

Although on Friday the weather forcast wasn't too optimistic about playing conditions, the weather was really friendly today and let us have a full 40 overs game, mostly with overcast conditions but fairly warm and most importantly with no rain.

The ground favours batsmen as it is very small on both ends so Alphas' score of 233 all out is understandable. However, we were able to bowl the opposition out for 150ish in about 30 overs, so after all it also favoured the bowlers (excluding me...(too many wides, but that is, of course, not the field's fault...)) I also got the first 50 in England, I hope for more to come...

Another day has passed here in Exeter... Surprisingly it didn't rain today although yesterday's weather forcast said so. It's supposed to be a nice day tomorrow, when we have a friendly cricket match, so we can expect some nice refreshing showers... We'll be singing all day...

Very handy linkage to myspace will help keep this alive...
