26th March 1992 Day 250

The Diary
Discovered to our gloom that England had lost the Cricket World Cup Final but then decided it was all part of a grand scheme to get rid of the Tories. Had a trip to Batu Caves and saw all the Hindu statues and then returned by a very round-the-houses route in time for dinner. Shakey's revisited - I'll bet Bop misses it.

Batu Caves

Searched for a book exchange and managed to get rid of Leslie Thomas and Stephen Hawking in part-ex for a dictionary. We went in search of the park but only got as far as the national museum and it's exhibits about Borneo and skulls. I never knew there was so much head-hunting and cannibalism going on around the world - some of it fairly recently. Skulls was an exhibit fit for the Natural History Museum in London.

Skulls

There was a massive downpour in the evening but we braved it long enough to get to Kentucky Fried Chicken.


2012
The 92 Cricket World Cup Final - double disappointment as we'd left Australia and hadn't got to any games but especially because England had bowled Pakistan out for 74 earlier in the tournament and were cruising to a win when the weather caused the game to be abandoned. The point that Pakistan got kept them in the tournament and ultimately eliminated Australia. Without the rain Pakistan would have been out and England would have been world champions (obviously).


I don't recall reading a Leslie Thomas book, maybe it was Oz's. If you want to read A Brief History of Time then you can find it here in it's entirety. I bought the dictionary because I was trying to read some difficult books and struggling with some of the words. Honestly. No such trouble nowadays.


I tried to use to Apple Voice Recognition to see if I could transcribe my diary more quickly. This is what it came up with. Back to the drawing board.
