The Festive Season

Ahh its December again!! Only there is one difference this year...well a few really, its getting chilly and it could be snowing for chrissie!! I saw some pictures of the outside of the pub from a couple of years ago after it had been snowing and it looked like it had been picked out of a fairytale. For now we will just have to put up with hail and tornadoes....that's right tornados! on thursday a small tornado went through north London, lifted a few roofs and even destroyed a wall or two, 34 houses are uninhabitable the news just told me. All we got here at the pub was a nice hail storm and some blustery winds which tore take down a couple of branches.
In other news the new nintendo whatever its called came out today here in London.
And back to christmas....our decorations went up at the pub on the 1st so now i'll go and take a picture of our tree so you can see it instantly below.....like this!

its a bit blurry cause its night time and you have to see the lights

And now back to the cricket....Damian Martyn retired today/yesterday from all 1st class cricket leaving a gap in the Australian team for some up-and-comers. I also noticed today that Chris Matthews played in the Lilac Hill festival match taking 3 wickets in a good win for the chairmans' XI, moving up a bit from the good ol' Parkerville days. Now of course I have to add the details of that great second test we managed to win from a very unwinnable position so when I'm older I can check back on it, have a good old laugh and remember a great victory!!!

Australia won by 6 wickets

England : Dec. 6-551
Australia : 513
England : 129
Australia : 4-168
