What A Frame of Snooker!

Judd

Judd Trump v. Ali Carter

Snooker isn't all about potting balls it's about...snookering your opponent.
And that's what the brilliant Judd Trump did in the final frame of the final session in his match with Carter.
It was all but over when the floppy haired, eye mashing* and determined Trump pulled out every stop in an effort to stop Essex lad Carter's trip into the next round. And oh boy did it make great viewing.

Judd needed 4 snookers, and using all his snooker genius...got 'em, 1...2....3....4 every ball a pure gem, every roar from the entranced audience adding to the thrill of it all and it was only at the final moment when Trump's luck ran out that his come-back was finally, cruelly crushed.

Snooker is a slow game but with players like Trump, Carter and dare I say it...O'Sullivan it can turn from a gentleman's game into a full-blooded, nail-crunching, better -than- a -penalty -shoot -out spectacle.

Ali will now face either Hawkins or Stevens.
Can't wait!

By the way the Plumber visited this afternoon did a quick scan of the bathroom radiator, left me with prices and zoomed off in his Ferrari.
Mr H WILL be pleased:(

* Screws his knuckles into his orbital rounds.

By the way I bought the tiniest sweetest loveliest blue budgerigar today. It now sits by the bleach on the kitchen windowsill.

Man City v. Man Utd.
Massive game. City fans would rather win the league. So 6-1 Man Utd is ok?
Five Live. 20:00hrs

Er, no. HODGSON IN.
According to Radio 4.
I'm stunned John.

So after sorting out radiator problems, honest job offers, mother's issues and my expectations for our life expectancy I think I'll overdose on phone-ins...

Dinner will be cold English beef. Probably.

I woke this morning.
Unfortunately!

Weathers being a real pain so am feeling incredibly frustrated at being unable to get wellied-up and in and around the flowers and birds. By the way I've ordered 10 lavender plants which will, I'm certain, be planted in abundance by the front door. Really looking forward to doing that. A lot of digging will be required to 'make good' the patch of earth/lawn near the aforementioned door but as long as the weather eases up I don't foresee problems.

Back to now...there's cooking to be lovingly done so will roast some beef and bake a crumble whilst keeping an eye on the snooker and....tomorrow.

Cheerio:)

Just don't know where to turn

The last picture John snapped of me!

Taking a break from blogging due to utter pointlessness of it:)

Time now midnight 36 on Sunday 29th April.

Going to sleep now. Hopefully forever.

Blow this weather...

But torrential rain does have its good points.
Like.

Taking time out in my small over-stuffed conservatory to listen and to watch.
Listening as skyfulls land on the leaky grey roof sounding like each well-needed drop is booted in silver tap shoes.
Dancing precipitation.
Cool.

Watching as coats of the stuff land heavy, fulsome, leaving in their wake that just-washed, brand spanking new, straight from the heavens look.
Big rain.
Awesome.





Goodwetnight:)
