Who'd have thought it? Another cricket match at the end of September and a team needed another player last minute, so I said yes! It would have been rude not to!
So, 25th September, cold and nearly too wet but who cared?! We fielded first, (with me keeping for the 2nd time in 2 games and for the 2nd time of this elongated season!) in a 35 over match. I dropped a tough chance diving across first slip but caught a skier 2 balls later and got a good run out and a stumping towards the end, so all was good on that front. They got a very good score of 197 off their 35 overs, even if we did let them get most of them!
We chased the target down well and won with an over to spare. "Humph" edged behind for an agonising 99 and a few 30s plus my invaluable 4 not out at the end meant we won by 4 wickets and a good end to what is definitely now the end of the season!
But of course, I had worked the night before and was, of course, going to work again that night, so I had one more taste of the 'no sleep disorder'. It was so bad on Sunday night. No sleep for 42 hours before I started the long walk home. The Mittenmobile was having it's yearly check-up. I finally got home and collapsed, and woke up, now. 4:42 on a chilly Tuesday morning. A new record for the amount of hours stayed awake followed by a new record of the amount of hours slept at once, (22!).
The prospect of a full-time week awaits, but I'm used to it. Somehow, I've also started to run out of money, so a tough few weeks ahead! Fighting it, I will do.\
