I went to a Standard Bank Pro20 cricket match in Paarl today (I was going to be live-blogging the game) - unfortunately we had some rain in Cape Town this morning, and so the field was too wet for any play to take place. This is the Pro20 mascot, Hardy, who was driven round and round the field in his blue buggy, while the crowd waited to hear whether there'd be a game or not. Isn't he too cute for words?

While I was there, I bumped into one of our legendary cricketers, Jonty Rhodes, who is now the fielding coach for the SA team; but I was so distracted by my thoughts that I didn't realise why he looked so familiar until AFTER he'd walked past. Have you ever had one of those "duh" moments? Um, Jonty, if you're reading this, next time I see you I'll say hello like I mean it. :-)
