I am not watching the cricket, but admit to listening out for the score.

I suppose nobody will be talking about it until England have won the Ashes again and then they all want to be part of it.

Typically British!

Not watching, instead I'm watching Mexico's volcano "popo" which has had 39 ash emissions in the last 24 hours and sits upon the city of Mexico City with well over one million people. They must of reved up Harrp again, my old refrierator went out tonight and last night by Sony tranistor radio didn't display an radio station read out...so that means someone may be trying to trigger an volcano or and earthquake here soon. Replacing the refrigerator means I might not beable to go see my sister in-law... as I promised her in September. But she always comes down here and not many go up and see herat times...5 hour one way trip. They had another small quake in her area couple days ago.

I enjoyed watching the cricket each day. It was a gripping match and some excellent cricket was played.Journalists said England batted very slowly in comparison to Test teams from other countries.The match was spoilt a bit by some of the umpiring decisions.Umpires have a very difficult job.
