I work with two other Brits. And several ardent Australian cricket tragics. We are fond of the latter. This is why we had to leave the office to sing songs and leap into the air and laugh and smile. Though if I read one more 'The last time this happened I was one year old/as yet unborn/sitting on my father's knee', I may sink into a grumble. I was not quite as old as [livejournal.com profile] shocolate , and we were both proper grown-ups. Still, [livejournal.com profile] wemyss  has the kindness to have been even slightly older than that -- such a thoughtful soul.

And Cook as man of the series -- oh so true, in every way!

I have already failed in keeping up to date with birthday wishes for the year (no one is surprised), but a very happy one to [livejournal.com profile] noeon  -- may this year be staggeringly fabulous, you deserve it! Here, I feel sure that this will kick it off in the right way:

As our fave work Aussie says: 'He's like your Don Bradman. Except he's really hot.'

Happy birthday for today, too, to [livejournal.com profile] ye_olde_miss_c  -- I miss you! See you at Easter! And for yesterday to the lovely [livejournal.com profile] foi_nefaste , I hope you're having a good holiday season! Also to [livejournal.com profile] fallinskye  and [livejournal.com profile] japanimecrazed  -- I know your quiet lurkery ways mean that you're unlikely to read this, but I hope the present fairies were kind to you both. We January birthday people need to look out for each other, as [livejournal.com profile] oncelikeshari  reminds me. (You're tomorrow, I'll remember that one!)

He's really, really hot, and he bats so wonderfully!

Congratulations

Here in the US cricket is, shall we say, somewhat under-reported. However, I did think of you this morning as our National Public Radio carried a segment describing the importance of this years Ashes. And, not to invite a grumble, but the last time NPR carried a cricket segment... well, you get the idea.

A little Cooky in return

Ooooh! What a handsome present! Thank you so much for the good wishes and the loveliness, dear one :)))

As our fave work Aussie says: 'He's like your Don Bradman. Except he's really hot.' *laughs and laughs*

I know I should be putting up Ashes photos, but I love this one.



<3<3<3 Thank you again!

You mean you don't think Trott is pretty?
