End of an era

Today was the Juniorette's last day of Kindergarten. After almost 4 years she will soon be a school kid, and she is ready for it. She will be 7 years old next month, she's growing up fast........ time is flying. I thought she might be upset, but no, she accepts that Kindergarten is over and her school time has begun - a cool attitude. I think it probably affected myself and Mrs Haddock more.

Today is also the 2nd day of the 2nd Test of the Ashes Series. Which to many won't mean a thing, but to a few it means Cricket at its highest form - England v Australia.

England my have lost the first test, but after day two in the second, now have the upper hand over the Aussies. The game may of course see-saw over the couple of days, and already Shane Warne (the master of spin bowling) produced a wonder ball to dismiss Andrew Strauss in England's 2nd Innings. Day three awaits.
