I need to have an operation to have a new knee, which means I will miss the Durham Test as I'll be in hospital.
It's been troubling me for a while and has finally packed up. I'll be on crutches for six weeks, but I'll back for The Oval.
'Vipers' has been reading 'The Beginners Guide To Knee Surgery' and she reckons she's got it sorted. It all ties in with the welding course she's been doing and she'll be able to use all of those skills putting my new knee in.
I'll be there for the first day at Old Trafford on Thursday though, which is of course Yorkshire Day.
I think the best way to celebrate the spirit of Yorkshire Day is to not buy anything. I believe if anyone from Yorkshire is at the game, you have to buy all their dinner and beers for them.
That's the way I see it, anyway...
