A very hot humid day today although it started cool enough. I attended the 8 a.m. Early Morning Eucharist service at St. john's which this morning was taken by Nils who spoke about the difference between knowledge and wisdom - knowledge being connected to the mind and wisdom connected to the heart. a very good and thought-provoking homily. Just before 11 a.m., Sara, Mary, her friend Izzy and I set off for a day's family fun and cricket at the Ageas Bowl where Hampshire were hosting Surrey in the Clydesbank CB40 competition. We arrived early, before the gates opened, and had to queue in the heat to get in. When we did finally get in we found the atrium in the Members' Pavilion very warm in deed and we settled at our favourite round table by the large plate glass window in front of the television. Mary and Izzy had a lovely time wandering around the Bowl whilst Sara stayed in the Members' lounge to watch the Manchester City v. Saints game on Sky and I went up to the Rooftop Terrace to watch the cricket. Hampshire had a convincing win by 4 wickets with Kevin Pietersen (Surrey) being bowled out for a golden duck by Liam Dawson. That was the highlight of the afternoon! Saints lost their game against Manchester City but the final score was 3-2 with Saints being 1-2 in the lead at one point. They put up a very credible performance against the League Champions on their home turf and I think it looks good for Saints to stay up in the Premier League. Of course, it's early days yet and there is a long way to go but tonight they are 14th in the Premier League. That would be more than a satisfactory place to end up at the end of the season.
