… had an app that gave us access to stations from the UK. I was enamored, lol. It was weirdly soothing to watch. Going to have to revisit Shaggy now! Preset his Sirius station!

I love test cricket. Australia comes our way any day now - test series start next week. Sadly we suck big time these days. Hoping for at least one win in three, but rain might save us😀
