Not been around for a while - had a long Bank Holiday weekend in glorious Cornwall, a three-day celebration of Mrs Momus's 34th birthday and plenty going on the office.

Normal service now set to be resumed, happily. Cricket again today and a chance to redeem ourselves after my first shot at captaincy ended in rank and abject humiliation - a 127-run defeat in a 20 over game! Which is hefty even by our recent standards.

Another chance today to end our losing run. I haven't been on a winning cricket team for over a year now and am starting to tire of being a good loser. Mainly because I ain't!
