Dog-breeding and test cricket.
I am around, about and temporarily quiet. At some point I will have to write my way out of work flurries and Christmas torpor, whence another post then here.
- Dear Fern: we love you but if you could hold your season off till after Xmas, that would be super. Love, @harvestbird and @knedd. #
- Have been more-or-less AFT[witter] since @johubris was in hospital. Narrative updates would be pandering, tweep-highlights welcome. #
- Dear Fern: I see your doggie ovaries missed my early tweet. Never mind; the mating that produced you took place on New Year's Eve. #
- The better part of valour would be not to watch 101 Things Removed from the Human Body; it really would. #
- Hooking up dogs is even more complex than hooking up oneself (where oneself = fancy-free spinster, not married stay-at-home). #
- Still, my double-stud-owner says "Let there be puppies!" and now we must wait on progesterone bloods. #
- One way and another, the first half of my 30s has been characterised by an obsession with progesterone. Mammals FTW? #
- The video description says PANDA BABIES PLAYING with SLIDE and to be sure, I cannot fault the use of all-caps: http://bit.ly/6O1lr1 #
- Congratulations @br3nda! #
- My new term of the day: arrière-garde. Thanks, @BeeFaerie (http://bit.ly/8EDAOX #
- http://twitpic.com/t0umj – Me and my girl. Not pictured: me. #
- The contrast betw Waqar Younis, coiled spring of 80s/90s fast-bowling & laid-back test commentator of the 00s gives me cognitive dissonance. #
- Some go to a workplace tutorial to get to grips with Office 2007; others edit a final-draft PhD while using it for the first time. #
- Today's favourite expression: socio-centricity. Thanks, @SparrowNZ! #
- It's been a dog-mating morning. My shirt has stains on it that I will do you the favour of not identifying. Evie now extremely mellow. #

Adding “bloody hell, she knows her cricket” to my mental file of Megan.
The last post by Giovanni was Psycho-Cybernetics (and Ghosts)
My knowledge is pretty solid from 1982 to around 1995, during which era Saturday television at home was controlled by my cricket-appreciating mother, and then there’s a gap until about 2007, which was, not coincidentally, when Señor Mojito and I first began keeping company.
My mother much preferred the Indian team’s style of play to the Pakistanis in the 80s/ early 90s and so my understanding of the latter’s fast-bowlers is largely recalled through her critical commentary. Her greatest loyalty, however, was reserved for David Gower at bat for England; despite his often-patchy form she never ceased to hope for a beautiful test century.
