We're here with the Queen today and despite losing Straus to the second ball England currently have the edge. Good day for bowling - slightly overcast, bit humid, bowles getting some swing and Aussie batsmen don't look at all comfortable.


Great atmosphere and better now I've located the Guinness Bar.

Here is some more encouraging information. Every time England have made more than 500 in the first innings at Lords this century they have drawn the match.


Every time they have made between 390 and 490 in the first innings they have won.


So statistically they have a 100% chance of winning this game but they would have been a bit screwed if your man Collingwood hadn?t have thrown away his wicket.


Edit: Because upon reflection I can't spell.

Something rather samey about Anderson, Broad and Onions. And whenever Broad comes on to bowl, the scoring rate seems to pick up. It's about time he came to the party, as they say - a couple of wickets to lame pull shots isn't enough for me. The really bold move for Edgbaston would be Anderson, Harmison, and the unfairly sidelined Sidebottom. With Anderson batting at 9.

    • The Peckham Rye Park heron was eyeing up two quite large cootlets on Sunday. Their parents were swimming around them and presumably trying to protect them. We couldn't understand why the coots  didn't swim off, but as they were under a large tree branch, maybe the heron would have been better able to catch one of the chicks in open water. It eventually gave up and flew off. Crikey they have vicious pointy beaks, herons! Is it for spearing fish?
    • The OP asked for advice from people on the internet. People who replied were trying to be helpful.  
    • Citizens Advice Bureau may be able to help, as they have connections with various relevant people/organisations. Your GP surgery may have access to a "social prescriber" who can similarly help.  I was referred to the  one attached to my GP surgery when I was very stressed with external issues. There used to be a community police officer in every neighbourhood, and if they still exist, I would say they should be your first port of call. I'm so sorry. It is so stressful living with nasty neighbours, although I agree finding out that other neighbours have also had issues with them at least makes you feel that it is not just you they are targeting. As regards the apparently poisoned plants and trees, if you know someone who is a member of the RHS (Royal Horticultural Society), they have access to a free advice service, who I'm sure could help pinpoint the likely cause of death. Unfortunately I didn't renew my membership this year, otherwise I would have offered to help.
