So, at the forth time of trying, can England survive the first over of the innings without losing a wicket?

The great thing about sport is however outmatched you are, there's always hope that you can unexpectedly pull a performance out of the bag & surprise everyone. However, when England play at The Gabba even that hope is diminished. Still, that hope is all we have.

Should've named him 'Stereotype', really 🙄😁

Christmas shopping in Birmingham with @yoga1967.bsky.social

Meal out at our authentic local independent Mexican restaurant to mark the 24th anniversary of @yoga1967.bsky.social & my first 'date' (actual anniversary tomorrow). Food was delicious, the company was wonderful.

A mixed day in results. A great performance by the women to get their first win, but disappointing from the men, although this time from the batters not scoring enough rather than the bowlers not being tight enough. However, it's wonderful being back at Edgbaston for the summer. #YouBears

White ball season has arrived! Off to Edgbaston (or EdgBLASTon, apparently) later to support the women (such a good game yesterday) and men (great to see Hain getting a score last night, disappointing that they couldn't defend that total, though) against the respective Durham sides. #YouBears

Footage of Nutmeg The Brave returning home triumphantly after a successful morning hunt. Unfortunately, that is an ex blue tit he is carrying in his mouth. He was very proud of himself, however. #cats

All tucked in and tuckered out #cat #cats_of_world

Iceland or Sweden are my winners. Quirky & fun, enjoying it all and not taking it too seriously. Surprisingly, Luxembourg would take the bronze medal. #Eurovision

For once I wouldn't mind the bookies getting it right & their pre-competition favourite winning. That was fun. #Swe #Eurovision

Clear signs of not wanting to host it again next year from the Swiss, here #Eurovision

Modelled himself on Arnie in Commando. #Arm #Eurovision

The third Game of Thrones staging so far. Is there a theme this year? #eurovision

That boy needs to get out in the sun a bit more. Let some Vitamin D into your life. #Ita #Eurovision

Oversized silk pyjamas. Bold outfit choice. #Eurovision

Go Iceland!😄💃🕺

Latvia: Graham said you probably need to hear this more than once. You don’t.

Best one so far. Quirky, bouncy. Proper #eurovision nuttiness. Icelandic Jedward knocking it out of the park. #Ice

Another wannabe Bond theme from Austria. Trying to replicate the success of old Connie Sausage from a few years ago. #Aut #Eurovision

Actually not bad from us. No idea what it was about, though, but it's a good effort. Clearly enjoying it and, for a change, not taking it too seriously. #eurovision

Seems like they've smeared vasaline on the camera lenses to soften the focus. #Ukr #eurovision

I'm not sure #Eurovision the place for teenage angst from the 90's #Lit

Spaghetti legs dancing there. Someone is a Bruce Grobbelaar fan. #Est #Eurovision

Quirky & poppy. I like it. Looks like she's performing in front of a 60's Barbie doll house. #Lux #Eurovision

Is this 'The Song of Fire and Ice'? It looks like something George R.R Martin may have staged. #Nor #Eurovision

Ooh, time for the wonderful, bat-shit crazy spectacle that is #Eurovision Fully expect the UK entry to be rubbish (I haven't heard it, but it usually is) and for the winning song to be overhyped & dull.

Wow. Well done #CPFC. Absolutely brilliant stuff. #FACup

Having a rest in the middle of a loving, brotherly fight #caturday

Spring in bloom in the garden that @yoga1967.bsky.social created

Sage taking in some shade. 😍🐈‍⬛️

Not 100% sure what type of plant this is, but I like its bloom! #caturday

It's a bit too warm today, so it's time to cool down on the tiled kitchen floor #caturday

When the #cat tries to get through the cat flap faster than it can read his microchip. #NoSenseNoFeeling

Merry Christmas, all. ❤️🎄🎅🏽 (And no. I did NOT whiten my teeth Hollywood stylee! 😂)

But really, the MAGA blocklist is a must subscribe to, as it catches most of these before they even start. bsky.app/profile/skyw...

Fall roadtrip in New England 🍂

Liz Truss leaving the UK to visit Washington DC and thus raising the IQ of both countries.

This is almost certainly going to go down as the worst defence of a world cup title since the 2002 football World Cup when France didn't win a single group game. All we're missing is in-fighting and the squad going on strike #EngvSa #ICCWorldCup

Alexa, play 'Hate to say I told you so' by The Hives #EngvSA #ICCWorldCup

So far, by the look of things, #Rooney is no different from Eustace. However, the performance will show if he has a more attacking mentality as JE would have almost certainly been playing for a draw in this game. #BCFC #MidBir

Don't get me wrong, #Eng are capable of scoring 400, but they just don't give themselves time to. The batters will just come out and be attacking from the off, rather than playing themselves in and getting used to the pace/pitch, resulting in poor shots and easy wickets for #SA. #EngvSA #iccworldcup

I know England fancy themselves to chase down any target, but I think they'll struggle with this one. #EngvSA #ICCWorldCup

It seemed like a chocolate chip cookie day. 🍪🤷‍♀️

Scream 6 watched. Wasn't sure how good it would be, but I thoroughly enjoyed it. Love a good slasher movie. 🤗🔪🩸
