At The Bank of England Cricket Club

It's a late Friday evening and I'm watching C at cricket practice. He seems to enjoy it and embraces the opportunity more than some of the others.  The kids come from all over- C didn't know anybody when he started here last week.  Since it goes from 6:30 to 8:30, it makes for a long evening for C and usually a chilly evening for his older escort.
While watching, I happened to listen to a podcast interview with Sir Mervyn King (the 72 year old Head of the Bank of England) on Desert Island Disks talking about how he plays cricket here himself regularly (this is the club for the staff of the Bank of England).

She arrives!

Dorothy Wijnanda Park has finally arrived. A healthy, petite (6lb, 7 oz) baby was born at 1:18 pm today, 28th of June. Baby and mother are both recovering from the delivery at Kingston Hospital in fine form. The first Park female on this branch of the family in 5 generations gets her name from my grandmother (Dorothy M. Baetcke Park) and a relative on Bella's side (Isabella Dorothea Akers). And also inherits Bella's middle name. Any advice on coping with daughters is heartily welcomed by the father.
