Working away in the week also didnt help. They never understand the shining of the ball on your pants.

TBF to Mrs Oval - I played cricket every Sat ever since we got married - and it's only in the last few years that I'd even consider going on holiday in the cricket season - and she never complained.

In fairness to the future Mrs PB, she isn't from a sporting family so really doesn't get the culture. I.e. her understanding of someone who plays a sport is you'd choose 4 or 5 weekends a year and play then, rather than play and train every week of a season. Being from a sporting family I assumed this was blindingly obvious.

She can be very chatty immediately on waking up. I am absolutely not a morning person, so this does my head in. Despite knowing that I can't function until I've had a cup of tea, she just can't help telling me about the weird dream she had, or whatever nonsense popped into her head during the night.

Just have to accept them for who they are. If you don't just find everything they do highly amusing (even when they annoy you) you are doing it wrong.
I annoy her too, I bet.


Everything is all just an excuse to laugh and tease really.


Yup, I realise I just made the entire planet gag with that statement but hey ho..

My wife also has the ability to walk incrediby slowly - no matter how slow I'm walking I stll have to constantly stop and wait for her.

And - never, ever, ready on time.

yep..... "who are you bloody shouting at", followed by the inevitable suggestion that you are in an angry mood.
