POW Rangers on a roll

I made my return to the POW Rangers on Saturday, in our must-win game against fellow strugglers Aylesbury Park Rangers. The score after the first half (when I was a sub) was 5-1 to us, and the score at full time (after I'd played centre-half for 45 minutes) was...5-1. So I'm not sure how much I contributed, but I guess you could say we kept a clean sheet. Anyway, it means we shoot up to 5 points for the season, unbeaten in our last two games and can't finish bottom. Like our previous two seasons, we'll finish 2nd bottom - now that's consistency!

A Relaxing Bank Holiday? No Chance

So the Bank Holiday weekend is almost over, at least the weather was good for once. Littlewick Firsts thumped Little Marlow Firsts at the Green, by 8 wickets. 6 unbeaten on the run now, and we're off the bottom of the league! POW Rangers continue their low-key warm up to the new season, with our 3rd defeat in a row, but this was a close-run 4-3 loss to the Cross Keys pub. At home Olga and I have made progress in the kitchen, the old one is bare now, and pretty much ready to be removed. The new one is taking shape, well, some of the cabinets are, except they're in the dining room at the moment. It's an improvement to them being in boxes on the driveway.
Cath, Nick and Lizzie popped round on Sunday evening after a flight to the Isle of Wight; both Olga and I practised our baby-holding technique, and Lizzie wasn't sick on either of us, so we must be doing something right.
So this week is going to be "interesting". We're not sure what to do with Mishka while Kevan the Builder is working next week, at least one day we might have to take him to the office. It'll also be take-away week for tea, we'll see if we can do the Quadruple of English, Indian, Chinese and Pizza during the next four days....
