[7.30 am, chez Mike]

Mike [attempting to get out of bed]: Ow [creak]. Ow, ow. [groan]. Owww. [crack] Ow. [groan].

First cricket net of the season yesterday, followed by an afternoon removing the wooden partition wall from the music room.

Man, I am SO stiff.

*sympathetic wince*
Hot baths with appropriate add-ins are good muscle relaxants...

As my wife the nurse says in situations like this: Self Inflicted!

You're stiff because you're up too early. :-)

I could make any number of jokes about stiffness at this point :D

Oh, come ON, we all could have ... but we tried to behave ;-)

For which those of you who did are duly thanked. And those who didn't... well... :)

The only reason I didn't was because I'm 5 or 6 hours behind most of you, timewise ;)

But I agree with bardling about the hot bath.

I felt like Tim Brooke-Taylor the other day while trying to work out where some new padding was supposed to go. I shall be sporting it tonight at first nets for my team. Yay, cricket!

Indeed. Took me the best part of 90 mins to get my rhythm back: the last 30 mins was pretty good - both the batsmen who had nets at that point were treating me with a modicum of respect (one of them I'd have had stumped several times, the other I got a very gratifying 'eyes bugged' reaction as he *just* got a bat on the googly.

I don't know whether it's comforting or worrying that the club kit bag contains 3 helmets and 3 thigh pads :)
