Only us.

April 2022.

Having one second of silence when they were in Australia was something nearly impossible, but Jas loved it. She loved the mess that included being there. She loved the noise that included being surrounded by family and friends, so Jas was nothing but happy. Spending some days at the farm in Perth was like a breeze of fresh air that they all needed, but especially Daniel. Plus, the fact that the race in Melbourne had quite a decent result was a big plus, so things were good, at least for those weeks.

With yet again another season that started poorly and another car that wasn't as fast as Daniel was promised, things weren't looking good, but none of that really mattered when they were home. All they cared about was spending time with their families. Not a race, a CEO, a car or a team principal was gonna ruin the happiness that gave Jas seeing Daniel with his parents and sister. But especially, nothing was going to ruin the joy that brought them watching Olivia spend time with their family, and especially watching her play with her cousins. Listening to Isaac, Isabella and Olivia giggle together was something too pure, too magical and too perfect, and nobody in the world was going to ruin that.

But even in the middle of the beautiful mess and noise, her tiny little family of three always found a way to spend some time being just them. It didn't happen often all things considered, but Jas loved the little moments that included just her, Olivia and Daniel. They were pretty counted, so she cherished every single one of them, even if they included dirty diapers.

While everyone was chatting in the living room and Aoife, Grace and Esme were starting to make dinner, Jas was in their room, dealing with a change of diapers, which was probably her less favorite part of being a mom and having a baby. But as she was cleaning and drying Olivia, two arms suddenly hugged her back. She couldn't help but smile as she felt Daniel place kiss after kiss against her head, shoulders and neck, making her laugh like a little happy girl. That was the effect Daniel had on her since they met, but it all became somehow bigger since Olivia was born. If Jas loved Daniel before, she loved him a hundred times more since she saw him turning into a dad. She felt in love with him again and again and again every single time she saw him with their daughter, and that day wasn't different.

"You smell nice" Jas smiled, looking over her shoulder for a second as she stroked Olivia's tummy with her fingers. "Not like you, you stinky little butt. You need a shower after dinner, you hear me? Well get you a nice bubble bath" Jas said to her daughter, which she answered with some cooing and a big toothless smile.

"I just took a shower but that bubble bath thing sounds like something mom and dad should do tonight too" Daniel suggested, placing one last kiss right on Jas's temple before he moved to her side to look at Olivia, but still hugging Jas with his arm around her waist. "I'm sure Maggie and Michael won't mind looking after her for a night"

Jas couldn't help but giggle when she heard her sister and Michael's names coming from Daniel. She couldn't help but laugh not because they wouldn't want to take care of Olivia like they did countless times, but because she imagined they were going to be kind of busy that night. "You mean Michael and Maggie the ones that mysteriously left in a boogie like two hours ago? I don't think so, babe"

"Remind me again why the hell they say they're on a break if they're fucking around like mad rabbits anyway?"

That was a very nice question that Jas has been asking herself again and again, but she couldn't really find an answer. Plus, she didn't want to mention the subject in front of Maggie, knowing it was nothing but delicate to bring that up. She really couldn't bring it up in front of Michael either because his answer was always the same 'We're trying to make it work', but Jas doubted it. So not being able to talk to them, they all just looked away when Maggie and Michael were basically undressing each other with just one look. Or in this case when they disappeared on the farm, not really giving any explanation of where they were going. "Don't remind me what my little sister and my friend does. And I don't know. It's their thing"

"We can always ask your parents. Or mine" he proposed, looking down at Olivia as Jas made her laugh and move her adorable tiny legs in the process. "What's so funny, uh? Mum's tickling you, baby girl?"

And like any other day, Jas couldn't help but stay looking at the picture in front of her with a smile on her face. Daniel tickling Olivia's tummy with his fingers to make her giggle even more was just the most beautiful thing in the world. Hearing her cute little giggles was music to their ears. See the way her husband and daughter looked at each other was simply everything Jas ever wanted, so it made her heart be filled with nothing but happiness. And to see Daniel being a dad was something difficult to put into words. The way his whole face changed and lightened up when he was with Olivia was magical. The way his eyes seemed to spark and the way his smile just grew bigger was incredible and it all just made Jas melt of love and happiness.

"Wanna spend the night with grandma and grandpa? Wanna do that so mum and dad can have a little bit of fun sleeping tonight?" Jas asked Olivia while she secured a new diaper around her tummy. And once it was done, Jas took the chance to grab her chubby perfect legs to kiss first her right feet and then the left. "You've the most adorable tiny baby foot in the world! They're like paidrín. Look at those fingers!"

"We can sleep but maybe also we can give her a sibling" Daniel whispered, as if their three months old daughter was able to understand what they were saying.

Jas knew Daniel's suggesting was nothing but a joke, but she also knew that deep down it wasn't just a joke. They wanted more than one kid, they wanted at least one more sibling for Olivia and then maybe another one because three was the magic number in their home, but timing was far from right. Olivia came in whenever she wanted and it's magical how she ended up picking the perfect timing to show up in the lives. She appeared when they needed her the most, and for that everyone in their family was thankful and happy but for the next one they wanted to do things right. They talked about it when Jas was pregnant and again when Olivia was born, so no matter how badly they wanted to perpetuate the Ricciardo name, they were going to wait for the right timing for their next Baby Badger.

"Ah, no so fast cowboy. Not till she's at least two or three. We can barely survive with one" Jas reminded him, standing straight to give Daniel a loving kiss on his lips. "It'll come, you know that, right?"

"I know. We can practice some meanwhile" he affirmed, kissing Jas head once again. "Can I?" he wondered, pointing to the onesie that was waiting right besides Olivia.

With a smile and a fast kiss on his lips, Jas left Daniel took care of putting Olivia's clean onesie on her body. She didn't say a thing as she looked at them, too scared to ruin the moment. With the crazy, busy schedule he had, there were counted days Daniel could dedicate his full time to being a dad. There was always some event with sponsors, there was always a meeting, there was always some publicity thing to do, especially when they were in Australia. But on the days that he was free, he would put his heart and soul into it. From changing dirty diapers and clothes, making bath times a complete mess and tummy time as fun as possible to inventing the most ridiculous stories, warm perfectly her bottles or sing lullabies absolutely out of tune, Daniel wanted to do every single thing that would include Olivia. They knew it was the most normal thing for a dad to do, but Jas never complained when she was the one taking care of it weekend after weekend. She never complained when she was the one getting up in the middle of the night or when she had to take care both of an exhausted Daniel and a sleepy Olivia. It was her job as a mom and his partner, so she did it all with a happy smile on her face, thanking her lucky stars for having her wonderful family by her side.

But the days that she got lucky to see Daniel being a full-time dad were her favorite ones. The constant happy smile on his face, the constant shine on his eyes, but especially the constant relaxed state he was it was something amazing to see. Since they met, people used to say nothing and nobody made Daniel smile as Jas did, but Olivia replaced her. Since she was born nobody made Daniel smile as much as their baby girl, but Jas was more than happy to give that place to their daughter. She couldn't blame him because nothing made her smile more than Olivia.

As Daniel carefully dressed Olivia while tickling her, Jas just watched them with a smile on her face, just as big as the one on Daniel's face or as the toothless grin on Olivia's face. She just looked in silence, letting them do their thing and have another one of their moments.

"Remember what I said to Michael the night we met?" Daniel suddenly asked, buttoning the green material in the front part of the onesie.

"You told him you had no idea who I was but you were going to marry me. But he told you that first you needed to talk to me" she remembered, smiling even more at the memory. "I mean, first you stuttered and then your tried to charm me with the whole Enchanté thing, but then you got to talk"

Even after four years Jas could remember that night perfectly. It felt like it was yesterday when she was sitting on the side, talking with the girls as she saw Michael walking up to them. It felt like no time had passed since that handsome tall man with Australian accent apologized for interrupting them, saying that his stupid friend was tongue tied and dying to know if he could invite her a drink. It felt like it was just some hours ago since Jas smiled all happy as she was trying to act cool and chill when in reality she was dying because she couldn't stop looking at Daniel since they walked in. Sometimes, and even when they already had a daughter and a life together, it felt like they were the same kids. Even four years older and with shorter curls, somehow it felt like no time passed for the Daniel who got all blushed as soon as she started speaking French, making him think he fucked up with the Enchanté trick.

Everything that happened between them was like a weird fairytale and every single day since that night Jas thanked her lucky stars for meeting Daniel, for them falling in love but also for them getting stuck together side by side on good and bad days. From Monaco to Dublin to London to Perth and the rest of the world, Jas got to live her dream life all thanks to the man of her dreams, so she was nothing but thankful to whatever put them together, that also included Michael for getting up and going to talk to her back then.

"You really had to be completely perfect and talk fluid French. And Italian and Irish. Beauty and brains that's why I was so convinced there was no way you would ever want to leave with me. Thank God you did" he affirmed, placing one last kiss over Olivia's forehead, making her giggle. "Thank God your mom was drunk enough to ask me if I wanted to leave with her" he stated, grabbing Olivia in his arms and holding her against his chest.

But the second that Olivia saw Jas, a sad pout appeared in her face which meant he wanted to go with her. "What's us with you? You missed mum in the six seconds she was away?" Jas asked Olivia, who answered with some baby sounds, as she placed her tiny hands in her mom's face as soon as Jas grabbed Olivia in her arms. "Yeah? I missed you too. I always miss you when you ain't around. You're my práta, right? You're our paidrín"

"How many words you Irish people have to say potato? Cause I feel there's a new one every single time you speak" Daniel wondered moving his arms around Jas' waist, getting as close as possible to his girls.

"Ninety. Every single one means something different" she explained with a little shrug. In the four years they had been together Daniel really tried to learn some words in Irish, but it was just simply impossible. The only thing he could remember was how to say 'I love you' because Jas would say it to him and Olivia all the time but then that was it. But after four years Jas wasn't really surprised, especially when he barely knew how to talk a few worlds in French after a decade of living in Monaco. "Wanna go back to the living room?"

"In a minute. Can I talk to you about something first?"

"Alright. Now I'm scared. What did we do?" Jas asked, looking up at her boyfriend who was suddenly serious. That was more than rare considering it was Daniel and he was with them. Jas knew there was no way something was wrong between them and Dan promised not to talk about work for the rest of the week, but she could see how something in his eyes was eating him.

"You did nothing wrong. All's good" he promised, kissing her lips to then rest their foreheads together. "You know how much I love you, right?"

"I do know. I love you too. We both love you" she whispered, suddenly getting emotional. She knew. Clearly, Jas knew. For four years all Daniel did was to show her day by day how much he loved her. In every single way he could find, Daniel showed Jas his love for her and then for their family. She could have doubts about everything in her life, even herself, but never in her life she would have doubts about Daniel and their love. She would never do that, especially not when the proof of their love was right in their arms. "What's going on, babe?"

"I just- I love you. I love you so fucking much, baby. I'm the luckiest man in the world cause you're my girls. I see you every day with our baby and then I see you carrying our family with so much love while you also handle all the shit we have around us and I still don't know how you do it. You've so much on your plate while being pregnant but you keep holding all- holding me up in the worst days. I really have no idea what I would've done without you last year. I really don't know how I would've get through it if it wasn't for you there by my side. I really don't know what I did to deserve you, J. I've no fucking idea but I want you to know I don't take anything from granted. Especially not you and her" he explained, big brown eyes looking down at her, shining with love and adoration, all while he stroked her cheek with his right hand.

"I know you don't take anything from granted, especially not us. I know you, Dan, so you don't have to say anything" she whispered, holding Olivia with just one of her arms to place the other one against Daniel's heart. "I told you hundred times, I'd do it hundred times and I mean it"

"Actually I do have something else to say. You know I don't regret things in my life, but there's one thing I do regret not doing years ago. I like to think it didn't happen cause it was the wrong time. I should've done it earlier but then pandemic fucked us all over and you were right when you told me we should wait to be able to celebrate with our family. Besides last year was shit and then this one decided it was her time to shine" he smiled, looking at Olivia and kissing her tiny nose fast to keep talking. "I also know its pretty stupid to do it now cause the question's gonna sound stupid considering there's no better bound that our baby girl. Also I wanted to do it more special and remarkable but I can't fucking wait. I love you, Jas. I love you since the moment I saw you and I love how you always leave me speechless by just looking at me. You leave me so speechless that I had all this thing prepared in my head and now its all gone cause you're looking at me and I can't with those brown eyes. I love you so I'm just gonna-"

And right there in the middle of their bedroom, Daniel kneeled right in front of her, all while he took a little red box out of the pocket of his shorts. Jas knew it was gonna happen one day. She knew Daniel wanted to marry her just as badly as she wanted to marry him. They knew it wasn't really necessary, they knew it was just a silly paper and that none of that was gonna change their relationship, but they wanted it. Even when he had been saying for years that Jas was his wife, he was dying to make it official, so there he was, finally ready to make it.

"Danny, babe, you don't have to…" Jas whispered, grabbing Olivia with one arm as she reached down to stroke Daniel's cheek while tears started to stream down her face.

"Let me. Please, just let me" he begged, kissing her palm before he grabbed her hand in his. "I love you, Jas. I love so much it's insane. And I know the last four years weren't a walk in the park and they probably haven't been what your expected. I'm wide aware you deserve more, you both deserve more and better. You deserve a better husband and a better dad, but I promise I'll do better for you. There's nothing I wouldn't do for you. I just- I've no idea what's gonna happen in future, but all I know its I wanna keep living with you by my side. None of it will ever make sense without you so, would you please, please finally marry me, babe?"

In the middle of the pandemic and during one of her lower days, Daniel called her like he normally did every day. He was away working in X and she knew he was tired, she could see all over his face how tired he really was after a day of practice and quali. But even with all that, Daniel called to cheer her up. With some cute compliments and words, Daniel made her smile like nobody could. Jas had no idea how that turned into wedding talk. She had no idea how they ended up talking about their plans, but suddenly Daniel was confessing more than he should have. He was planning to do it some day that year but all his plans got ruined before he could even get a ring. He didn't want to ask while they were locked and away from their families and friends. He didn't want to do it without being able to celebrate with them. He wanted to wait, but that day he was so tired and she was so sad he almost did it. He was about to drop the question right there over the phone, but Jas stopped him. Promising there was nothing she wanted most than to marry him, Jas begged Daniel to not ask. Not when she couldn't hug him, not when their families were away, not when the whole world was a disaster.

But the thing that she asked for was a specific detail about the ring. Since he didn't buy it just yet, Jas told him that whatever he decided to do with the ring was his thing, but she wanted it to have three stones. She didn't care about color, size or karats, she just wanted three. 'I want you in everything, but especially in my ring, you heard me?' were her exact words over the phone, which made Daniel laugh as he promised he was going to make it happen. But then the pandemic and the lockdown came and went, they couldn't go to Perth, then the pregnancy and Olivia and everything in between. But after two years, an insane amount of kilometers, places, laughs, tears, love and a baby girl, there was Daniel kneeling in front of her with the most beautiful ring she ever saw. On a silver band there was an oval cut red garnet that was nothing but breathtaking, and on the side as accent stones were two smallest diamonds. It was just like she wanted. It was exactly as she had dreamed.

"Get up, grá" she stated, kissing Olivia's head as she waited for Daniel. She didn't need any of that. She didn't need him kneeling in front of her, or a big proposal, she just wanted the love of her life in front of her as she gave him an answer. She just wanted him and that's exactly what she got when suddenly he was back on his feet, stroking her cheek carefully to clean her wet cheeks. "I knew I was gonna marry you when you said 'Enchanté' the night we met. And I knew it again when I woke up by your side. I've known it for the last four years. I've been dying to marry you four years and there's nothing I want more than being your Mrs. Ricciardo, so of course I'm marrying you"

They had to be more than careful because Olivia was right in the middle of them, but the way Daniel kissed her was just the most perfect and beautiful thing in the world. They were just two giggly messes, trying to not smile as they kissed, but it was impossible. They both were so damn happy to finally be doing this that they just couldn't help it. There was nothing more Jas could ask for than being with Daniel and Olivia for such a moment, so she was all smiles and giggles as Daniel hugged them. "You've been my Mrs. Ricciardo since day one, princess"

"And I'm the luckiest for that"

"You're really marrying me?" Daniel asked again, double checking as he kissed her head during their hug.

"Of course I'm marrying you, sunshine" Jas insisted, tiptoeing to give him a short kiss. But as soon as she did, she could hear such a soft, adorable little giggle coming from Olivia, who was looking at both of them. "And I think she's happy about mum and dad finally doing it"

"I think she would be happier seeing mommy wearing this" Daniel affirmed, taking the ring outside the box and then grabbing Jas' hand. She shouldn't be surprised about it at all, but it fitted perfectly. It somehow felt like a dream when he grabbed her hand and put the ring in the right finger of her left hand. It felt like a dream the fact that Daniel asked her to marry him, especially with their daughter there. It felt like a dream to have both of them by her side, so like every day, Jas couldn't help but mentally thank all her lucky stars for them.

"You designed it, didn't you? Cause that's her birthstone" Jas pointed out, looking at her hand and its new acquisition, still not believing how beautiful it is.

But her favorite thing was the red garnet. It wasn't just her favorite color but also Olivia's birthstone, so Jas was absolutely happy that Daniel decided to leave behind the common engagement ring and go for something different.

"I did design it. I spent a lot of time looking for the perfect one and it seemed like it didn't exist. Nothing was good enough, that's why it took me so long. Besides I can give you diamonds any other day, that's why I thought this was way cooler. This way you can have us always with you" he explained, holding her hand to kiss her finger and the new shiny stone decorating it. "Thank you. For saying yes, for her and for everything"

"Don't thank me. It's my thing to look out for you and specially to love you. Its what I do best and its my favorite thing to do. Wouldn't change it for the world. Wouldn't change you for the world. We said its us forever, so I'm here to make it happen" Jas smiled, remembering the promise they made again and again, especially in the worst of the days.

Whatever happened, it was gonna be them forever. Two or three or whatever the number of their little family was going to end up being, it was them and that was the important thing. As long as they had each other everything was gonna be alright. That's what Jas promised to Daniel again and again, especially on the worst days when he needed a reminder that they were gonna be together no matter what happened in his racing career.

"Its us forever" he repeated, kissing her once again. But before Daniel could kiss his future wife once again, a little incoherent cooing interrupted them, making them look at Olivia. "Did you hear that? Mum and dad are finally getting married!" Daniel exclaimed, kissing Olivia's cheek, making her laugh with the scratching of his stubble against her skin.

And Jas wanted to make a joke, saying it was about damn time for him to ask her, but she decided to keep it for later. After all, she had the rest of the night and the rest of her life to do it.

Why Colorbond Roofing is the Best Choice for Melbourne Homes

Choosing the right roofing material is crucial for homeowners in Melbourne, given the city's unique weather conditions and architectural styles. Colorbond roofing has emerged as a leading choice for many reasons, from its durability and aesthetic appeal to its energy efficiency and sustainability. In this comprehensive guide, we will delve into why Colorbond roofing stands out as the best option for Melbourne homes.

Exceptional Durability and Longevity

One of the primary reasons Colorbond roofing is favoured in Melbourne is its exceptional durability. Made from high-quality steel, Colorbond roofing is designed to withstand harsh weather conditions, including heavy rains, strong winds, and intense UV radiation. The material undergoes rigorous testing to ensure it can resist chipping, peeling, and cracking, making it a long-lasting investment for any home.

Resistant to Corrosion and Rust

Melbourne's coastal environment can be challenging for many roofing materials due to the high levels of salt in the air. However, Colorbond roofing is specifically engineered to be resistant to corrosion and rust, thanks to its advanced coating technology. This makes it an ideal choice for homes near the coast or in areas prone to salt spray.

Minimal Maintenance

Unlike traditional roofing materials that require regular upkeep, Colorbond roofing is known for its low maintenance requirements. Its non-porous surface prevents dirt and debris from accumulating, and the baked-on paint finish ensures that the roof retains its appearance with minimal cleaning. This means homeowners can enjoy a beautiful, functional roof with little effort.

Energy Efficiency and Sustainability

With increasing awareness of the need for energy-efficient homes, Colorbond roofing offers significant advantages in this area. Its innovative design helps regulate indoor temperatures, reducing the need for artificial heating and cooling.

Thermal Efficiency

Colorbond roofing is available in a range of colours, including lighter shades that are designed to reflect more of the sun's heat. This thermal efficiency helps keep homes cooler in the summer months, leading to lower energy bills and a reduced carbon footprint. Additionally, Colorbond steel's excellent insulation properties can help retain warmth during the colder months, ensuring year-round comfort.

Environmentally Friendly

Sustainability is a key consideration for modern homeowners, and Colorbond roofing delivers on this front. The steel used in Colorbond roofing is 100% recyclable, making it an environmentally responsible choice. Moreover, the longevity and durability of the material mean fewer resources are needed for repairs and replacements over time.

Aesthetic Appeal and Versatility

The aesthetic appeal of Colorbond roofing cannot be overstated. Available in a wide range of colours and profiles, Colorbond roofing can complement any architectural style, from traditional to contemporary.

Extensive Colour Range

Homeowners can choose from an extensive colour range to match their personal style and the overall look of their home. Whether you prefer the classic hues of Monument and Surfmist or the vibrant tones of Manor Red and Cottage Green, there is a Colorbond shade to suit every preference.

Versatile Design Options

Colorbond roofing is also incredibly versatile in terms of design. It can be used for various roofing styles, including flat, gabled, and skillion roofs. This versatility allows architects and builders to create unique and eye-catching designs that enhance the curb appeal of any property.

Enhanced Security and Safety

Safety is another critical factor that makes Colorbond roofing an excellent choice for Melbourne homes. Its robust construction provides enhanced security, while its fire-resistant properties offer peace of mind in bushfire-prone areas.

Fire Resistance

Colorbond roofing is made from non-combustible materials, making it highly fire-resistant. This is particularly important for homes located in bushfire-prone regions of Melbourne. The material's ability to withstand high temperatures and resist ignition can help protect your home and its occupants during a fire.

Strong and Secure

The strength of Colorbond steel provides an added layer of security against potential break-ins. Its durable construction makes it difficult for intruders to penetrate, ensuring that your home remains safe and secure.

Cost-Effective Investment

While the initial cost of Colorbond roofing may be higher than some traditional roofing materials, its long-term benefits make it a cost-effective investment.

Long-Term Savings

The durability, low maintenance, and energy efficiency of Colorbond roofing contribute to long-term savings. Homeowners can expect to spend less on repairs, replacements, and energy bills over the life of the roof, making it a financially sound choice.

Increased Property Value

Installing Colorbond roofing can also increase the property value of your home. Potential buyers are often willing to pay a premium for homes with high-quality, low-maintenance roofing. This makes Colorbond roofing an attractive feature that can enhance the resale value of your property.

Conclusion

In conclusion, Colorbond roofing stands out as the best choice for Melbourne homes due to its exceptional durability, energy efficiency, aesthetic appeal, and safety features. Its long-term cost-effectiveness and environmental benefits further solidify its position as the preferred roofing material for discerning homeowners. Whether you're building a new home or replacing an existing roof, Colorbond roofing offers a versatile and reliable solution that meets the diverse needs of Melbourne residents.

Scots generally don't go much for cricket. Which I find odd, considering how consistently terrible England have been for most of my life. If there's one thing that brings the people of Scotland together, it's England losing at sport.

Cricket's eccentric as hell; the objectives often incomprehensible and bizarre, even to people who follow the game; it's impenetrable terminology has multiple ways of labeling the same things; the simple idea of who is winning and who is losing may be undiscernable for days; it can go on for five days and still end in a draw and they only decided to end matches like that because once, decades ago, a test match went on so long one team risked missing their boat back home; a series of five or more matches can go on for months; people are forced to keep playing long after the result has been decided; bowling and batting require completely different skills and techniques, yet some players master both; it's greatest trophy, The Ashes, is only contested by two nations and is, essentially, a self-deprecating shitpost; and one of the greatest memes of all time originates from a dropped catch in 2019.

youtube

But, because the people of India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka love it like nothing else, it is the second most popular sport in the world. And I love it, too. Be it Mitchell Starc clean bowling Rory Burns with the first ball of the 2021/22 Ashes, beginning a series of quite staggering English ineptitude; or Virat Kohli, the greatest batter of this generation, hitting back-to-back sixes off Haris Rauf in front of 95,000 people at the Melbourne Cricket Ground while leading India to an extraordinary win against Pakistan at the 2022 T20 World Cup, cricket offers dramatic moments of brilliance with a regularity other sports struggle to match.

If you want an idea of exactly how popular cricket is in India, Kohli has 60 million more instagram followers than Brady, Serena and LeBron combined. His is the 16th most followed account in the world. The only sports stars with larger followings are Messi and Ronaldo. Like the greatest players in any sport, time appears to slow down around him when he's at his best, his balance and timing perfect as he makes an almost impossible task look like the easiest thing in the world (batters have a fraction of a second to react to a ball being bowled at them. Against the fastest bowlers, they might not even be able to see the ball at all, instead relying on triggers and clues and experience to hit it.)

I picked up a love for cricket from my dad, who himself picked it up one rainy summer afternoon (what do you think happens in summer in Scotland?) when he was young and there were only two TV channels. He loves the great West Indian team of the 1970s and 80s like no other. They're probably his favourite thing in sporting history. A found love, rather than the familial support for Hibs he inherited from his father.

(For that, I'd recommend the excellent documentary, Fire In Babylon. No knowledge is needed, beyond that in cricket, unlike baseball, there is no restriction against a bowler aiming at the batter's body. And the West Indian team had a succession of players who bowled at the speed of light and terrorised batters across the world. They also had, in Gordon Greenidge and Viv Richards, the two great batters of the - possibly any - era).

I missed much of their quarter century of dominance, being too young or not actually alive, but I do remember their last great bowlers, Courtney Walsh and Curtley Ambrose, while the great Trinidadian, Brian Lara, twice set records for the highest individual score in test cricket, first scoring 375, then an unbeaten 400, a record that still stands today and which may now never be bettered. Of course, both those scores came against England.

There was a lot of listening to cricket on the radio, driving places when we were on holiday in the summer. It was a summer sport then, coverage only following teams when they came to England. In the winter, when England went away, we got little, for this was the age before wall-to-wall sports TV.

For instance, I remember bits of Australia's 1993 Ashes rampage coinciding with daytrips along Hadrian's Wall, among other places, but I have no memory of the following, equally one-sided series in Australia in 1994/95.

Not that test cricket is at all rampageous, containing, as it does, breaks for lunch and tea, and even at it's most fast paced only has a ball bowled every 45 seconds or so, this being repeated about 500 times a day, with maybe 1 in 4 actually being scored from. You can miss great chunks of matches only to find nothing has fundamentally changed when you return. One man dressed in white hurls a small red ball at another, who most often declines the opportunity to hit it as it whizzes past. It is often as close to being a day-long nap as any sport can be.

Today, like football, the sport is played everywhere, all the time. The South Asian nations have spread it across the world, far beyond the borders of the British imperial possessions where the colonial administrators introduced it. Wherever there is a strong community of people from the subcontinent, cricket will be found and while there are less than a dozen full members of the ICC, there are now lots of associate members all competing against each other (the USA is the 18th-ranked men's ODI team, for example). There's almost always something to watch somewhere.

Powered by TV money (rights for the Indian Premier league are, on a per-game basis, now the second most expensive sporting event in the world, after the NFL) the compressed, high-scoring excitement of T20 has become the most popular format of cricket, which is bad for me. Because my preference is for the full-fat, slow-motion weirdness of a test match. It's what I grew up with and in my mind, the game is not for the swift. There's a reason they're called tests. The game should be an examination of technique and concentration and endurance that lasts for ages and ends with two poor bastards trying to scratch out a draw by batting for a day and a half because their side trails by 450 runs and the other 9 players on their team are idiots who got out in ridiculous ways. And then, after they inevitably fail, they do it again a week later. And maybe they lose horribly two more times and their team finds itself 3-0 down with two matches to play, but those matches still get played, even though they won't change the result of the series, because that's also part of the test. Or maybe it rains all summer and no matches are played, because the English, with maniac optimism, like to invent games that cannot be played if it's raining (see also: tennis).

I recognise that this is churlish of me. The women's game, like in so many other sports a niche afterthought, is being supercharged by an influx of cash from India, as the men's IPL has this year expanded into a women's tournament. The TV rights for this sold for £95m, the 5 franchises sold for half a billion. The top players - most players, probably - will make more from it than they do for the rest of the year. T20 is an extraordinary boost for the women's game, where tests are rarely played.

This is A Very Good Thing, but I'll always prefer tests.

Only three nations now have the economic power and talent pool to devote equal attention to all three formats of the game. Only England, India and Australia still play full test series against each other. The rest now play two- or maybe three-match series and only occasionally. The form the future of the game will take is in doubt. The West Indies might fracture amidst a proliferation of T20 franchise leagues, their players - naturally and understandably - touring the world and playing in half-a-dozen dozen leagues, their talents auctioned and drafted and paid far more than they get from tests.

But today I'm going to ignore the question marks about cricket's future and the maybe slow death of anything other than T20. Because today, one of the last remaining marquee matchups begins. Tomorrow, the women's T20 World Cup starts in South Africa. In a couple of months I will consume as much of the two IPLs as I can. In the summer, England will host Ashes series for both men and women that promise much. Australia's men currently holds the ridiculous little urn and are the top ranked side. England's men are actually very good right now and have many fine and likeable players, and a part of me finds that very irritating. Either or neither could win. For the other, England's women are also good, but Australia's are much gooder (for real. Ellyse Perry should be counted among the greatest female sports stars of all time. A world class bowler and batter, she has represented Australia at World Cups in both cricket and football).

All that is for tomorrow and beyond. Today, Australia's men begin a 4-match test series in India. India will probably win. It is incredibly hard to win anywhere as a touring team because weather and pitches vary a great deal from country to country and strongly favour the home team, no matter how lowly they are ranked. The West Indies comfortably beat England last year, and Australia struggled to a draw in Sri Lanka. And of all the places to tour, India is the hardest place to win of all. A series win in India is a rare and treasured thing.

The problem with touring India are the pitches. They are slow and dusty and - like most subcontinental tracks - favour the arcane arts of spin bowling, where a bowler uses his fingers or wrist to put spin on the ball in the hope that when it hits the pitch it grips and it's trajectory changes, deceiving the batter. Pitches are prepared to take advantage of this and push India's home field advantage as much as possible. Teams who play warm-up matches before tests in the hope of acclimatising will find placid, grassy pitches that offer not a hint of the demonic conditions the test series will likely bring. Cricket has never been a gentleman's game.

Australia have one, very very good spin bowler in Nathan Lyon and a number who are either untested or not good. They are likely to suffer against Indian batters who have known how to play spin since picking up a bat. India have Ravichandran Ashwin, also a very very good spinner, but in Ravindra Jadeja, Axar Patel and Kuldeep Yadav they have several who are merely very good and likely to prosper against Australian batters who are less good away from Australia (Jadeja, injured for most of the last 6 months is arguably the best all-rounder in men's cricket today. A prodigiously talented bowler and batter, he is also among the best fielders in the men's game).

youtube

Australia have barely toured anywhere since the pandemic began, but their team has played very well at home and their glitchy batting goblins Marnus Labuschagne and Steve Smith are incredibly good. I have hope they make the series competitive (though for me, their approaches to batting are too angularly idiosyncratic compared to the gloriously pure techniques of Kohli and Babar Azam of Pakistan). But I also hope that Kohli finds form and has a series for the ages.

The man's due.

PS Old Deadspin did a decent primer on cricket years ago and you can still read it, if you don't mind giving the site clicks...

Bees Control in Melbourne: Long-Term Solutions and Environmental Impact

In addition to the immediate need for bee removal, it’s important to consider long-term strategies that not only prevent future infestations but also contribute to a sustainable relationship between humans and bees. Given Melbourne’s commitment to biodiversity and green living, many residents are looking for pest control solutions that align with environmental conservation.

In this section, we’ll explore long-term strategies, the ecological importance of preserving bee populations, and the broader environmental impact of ethical bee control in Melbourne.

The Ecological Importance of Bees

Bees are among the most important pollinators in Australia, contributing to the reproduction of a wide range of plants, from crops to native flora. Approximately 75% of the world’s food crops rely on animal pollination, and bees play a key role in this process. In Melbourne, the city's rich biodiversity and green spaces depend heavily on bee pollination, which supports both agriculture and natural ecosystems.

Without bees, the impact on Melbourne’s food production and wildlife would be profound. That’s why pest control solutions need to go beyond simply removing bees—they must focus on protecting these essential pollinators while managing their presence in urban settings.

Long-Term Bees Control Solutions

Once a bee infestation has been safely removed, property owners in Melbourne should take proactive steps to prevent bees from returning. Here are some long-term bee control strategies to keep your property safe:

Regular Inspections and Maintenance

Annual inspections by a pest control professional can help identify potential nesting sites or structural vulnerabilities. Bee infestations often occur when there are small, unnoticed gaps or cracks in your home, particularly in roof spaces, wall cavities, and attics.

Installing Bee Repellents

There are natural repellents, such as essential oils (eucalyptus, citronella, and peppermint), that can discourage bees from nesting. Applying these repellents in high-risk areas can help deter bees while keeping your property eco-friendly.

Bee-Friendly Gardens

Surprisingly, creating a bee-friendly garden may actually help prevent infestations. By planting flowers away from your home that attract bees, you can provide them with a suitable habitat while keeping them from settling too close to your residence. Popular bee-friendly plants include lavender, marigolds, and native Australian wildflowers.

Proper Waste Management

Bees are attracted to food and sugary substances. Ensuring proper waste management around your home, including securely sealing garbage bins and cleaning up food residues, can prevent bees from being drawn to your property.

Sealing Structural Gaps

Ensuring that all entry points to your home—such as chimneys, vents, and cracks in walls—are properly sealed is crucial in keeping bees and other pests out. Regular maintenance of your roof, attic, and exterior walls can eliminate the possibility of bees finding their way in.

Water Source Management

Bees are drawn to sources of water. If you have open water around your home, such as fountains, pools, or even leaky faucets, ensure that these are properly managed. Standing water can be minimized by fixing leaks and using proper drainage systems.

Bee Preservation and the Legal Aspect

In Melbourne, the preservation of bees has become a growing concern for environmentalists and lawmakers alike. The Victorian government has implemented guidelines and initiatives aimed at protecting local bee populations, especially with concerns over global bee declines due to factors like pesticides, habitat loss, and climate change.

It’s important to note that bee removal in some cases may require permission from local authorities or adherence to specific guidelines, particularly if native or endangered species are involved. Many professional pest control services in Melbourne are familiar with these regulations and will ensure that any bee removal complies with local laws. This is another reason why hiring a professional is essential, as improper removal could lead to fines or penalties.

Eco-Friendly Pest Control Companies in Melbourne

In response to growing awareness of environmental issues, a number of eco-friendly pest control companies in Melbourne offer sustainable bee control solutions. These companies often prioritize relocation over extermination, using humane methods that reduce the impact on bee populations. Additionally, many of them employ green practices in other areas of pest control, such as minimizing chemical use and focusing on non-toxic treatments.

Choosing an eco-friendly pest control provider helps ensure that your decision aligns with Melbourne’s commitment to sustainability. Some of the benefits of hiring an eco-friendly service include:

No Harmful Pesticides: Minimizing the use of pesticides reduces environmental damage and protects beneficial insects, like bees.

Focus on Prevention: These companies often focus on preventive measures, such as exclusion techniques and regular maintenance, which reduce the need for future interventions.

Conservation of Local Wildlife: By relocating bees to safe areas, these services help maintain Melbourne’s biodiversity.

Supporting Local Beekeepers and Conservation Efforts

Another way to support bee conservation while managing infestations is by working with local beekeepers. Many pest control services partner with local beekeepers to relocate honey bees to apiaries, where they can continue to produce honey and contribute to pollination. Some beekeepers even offer free or reduced-cost bee removal services, as the bees themselves are valuable to their operations.

In Melbourne, there are also various community groups and environmental organizations focused on bee conservation. Supporting these groups through donations, volunteer work, or advocacy can contribute to the broader effort to protect bee populations while ensuring that bee control practices remain humane and sustainable.

Bees and Climate Change: The Future of Pest Control

The issue of bee control in Melbourne is closely linked to broader environmental challenges, such as climate change. As temperatures rise and urban areas expand, bee habitats are shrinking, leading to an increase in bee infestations as bees are forced to seek out new nesting sites. This trend highlights the importance of long-term, environmentally responsible solutions for managing bees.

Pest control companies in Melbourne are increasingly integrating climate-conscious strategies into their services, focusing on protecting vulnerable species and minimizing their carbon footprint. Homeowners can contribute to this effort by choosing eco-friendly pest control options and implementing preventive measures that safeguard both their homes and local ecosystems.

Conclusion: Balancing Safety and Conservation

Effective bee control in Melbourne requires a careful balance between protecting human safety and preserving bee populations. By working with professionals who prioritize humane, eco-friendly methods, you can ensure that your property remains bee-free while contributing to the health of the environment.

As the city continues to grow and environmental issues become more pressing, sustainable pest control practices will become even more vital. By taking preventive measures and supporting ethical bee control, you’re not only protecting your home but also playing a part in the global effort to protect these essential pollinators.

Top 5 Benefits of Professional Floor Sanding for Your Space

When it comes to home improvement, few things can transform a space quite like professional floor sanding. Whether you’re looking to revitalise tired wooden floors or prepare a surface for a fresh finish, investing in professional floor sanding can offer a range of benefits that extend beyond just aesthetics.

Here’s why you should consider hiring experts for your Melbourne floor sanding needs:

1. Enhanced Aesthetic Appeal

One of the most noticeable benefits of professional floor sanding is the dramatic improvement in the appearance of your floors. Over time, wooden floors can accumulate scratches, dents, and stains that dull their original beauty.

Professional sanding removes these imperfections, revealing the fresh, smooth wood underneath. Experts use advanced equipment and techniques to ensure an even, flawless finish that enhances the natural grain and colour of your flooring. This rejuvenated look not only enhances the overall aesthetics of your space but can also increase your home’s value.

2. Increased Durability and Longevity

Wooden floors endure a lot of wear and tear over the years. Regular professional sanding can help extend their lifespan by removing layers of damage and preparing the surface for refinishing.

By eliminating surface imperfections and applying a high-quality sealant, professional sanders ensure that your floors are better protected against future damage. This proactive maintenance prevents costly repairs down the road and helps preserve the integrity of your flooring for years to come.

3. Improved Indoor Air Quality

Old, worn-out floors can contribute to poor indoor air quality. Dust, allergens, and grime can become trapped in the imperfections of the surface, which can be harmful to your health. Professional floor sanding involves a thorough cleaning of the surface, removing dust and debris that could otherwise affect your indoor air quality.

Additionally, by sealing and finishing the floors with non-toxic products, professionals help create a cleaner, healthier living environment. This is particularly important for households with allergies or respiratory issues.

4. Customisation and Design Flexibility

Professional floor sanding opens up a world of customisation options. Once the old finish is removed, you have the opportunity to choose a new stain or finish that better suits your home’s décor.

Whether you prefer a classic, natural look or a more modern, coloured finish, professionals can help you select and apply the right products to achieve your desired look. Additionally, sanding allows for the correction of any previous staining or finishing errors, giving you a clean slate to work with. This flexibility ensures that your floors complement your design vision perfectly.

5. Time and Cost Efficiency

While DIY sanding might seem like a cost-effective option, it often results in uneven finishes and requires more time and effort than anticipated. Professional floor sanding services come with skilled technicians who have the expertise and equipment to get the job done efficiently and effectively.

The floor sanding Melbourne can complete the job in a fraction of the time it would take a novice, minimising disruption to your daily routine. Furthermore, professionals often offer guarantees on their work, ensuring that any issues are addressed without additional cost. In the long run, investing in professional sanding can save you time and potentially costly mistakes.

Final Words

Professional floor sanding is more than just a cosmetic upgrade; it’s an investment in the longevity, safety, and value of your home. From enhancing the visual appeal of your floors to improving indoor air quality and offering design flexibility, the benefits are clear.

By entrusting the task to experienced floor sanding Melbourne professionals, you ensure that your floors receive the care and attention they deserve, providing lasting beauty and functionality for years to come. If you’re considering a floor renovation, don’t overlook the importance of professional sanding. It’s a decision that not only revitalises your space but also contributes to a healthier, more enjoyable living environment.

How Do Portable Saunas for Sale Compare to Built-In Options?

In recent years, saunas have become a popular choice for home wellness, offering a range of health benefits from relaxation to detoxification. If you’re considering adding a sauna to your home, you might be torn between two primary options: portable saunas and built-in saunas.

Both have their unique advantages and potential drawbacks. In this blog, let’s explore how portable saunas for sale Melbourne compare to built-in options to help you make an informed decision.

Cost and Budget

Portable Saunas: One of the most appealing aspects of portable saunas is their affordability. Generally, portable saunas cost significantly less than built-in models. Prices can range from a few hundred to a couple of thousand dollars, depending on the size, features, and brand. Their lower price point makes them an attractive option for those on a budget or who are trying out the sauna experience for the first time.

Built-In Saunas: Built-in saunas, on the other hand, tend to be a substantial investment. Costs can range from several thousand to tens of thousands of dollars. This higher price is attributed to the materials, installation, and customisation options available with built-in saunas. If you have a larger budget and are looking for a permanent addition to your home, a built-in sauna may be worth the investment.

Installation and Space Requirements

Portable Saunas: As the name suggests, portable saunas are designed for easy setup and mobility. They typically come in compact, foldable designs that can be assembled and disassembled with minimal effort. Portable saunas are ideal for those who may not have the space for a permanent fixture or who live in rental properties where major modifications aren’t feasible.

Built-In Saunas: Built-in saunas require a more extensive installation process. They need a dedicated space, whether it’s a spare room, basement, or an outdoor area. Installation often involves construction work and professional help, especially for custom designs. This process can take time and may involve additional costs for renovations or structural modifications.

Size and Customisation

Portable Saunas: Portable saunas come in a range of sizes, but they are generally more compact than built-in models. They are designed to fit in smaller spaces and often accommodate one to two people. Customisation options are limited, with most portable saunas offering standard features and sizes.

Built-In Saunas: Built-in best saunas in Melbourne offer greater flexibility in terms of size and customisation. You can design a sauna that fits your specific space requirements and aesthetic preferences. Whether you want a large multi-person sauna or a unique layout with special features, built-in saunas provide more options for tailoring to your needs.

Heating Technology and Performance

Portable Saunas: Most portable saunas use infrared heating technology, which heats the body directly rather than the air. This can be more energy-efficient and may heat up faster than traditional saunas. Portable saunas are typically designed to reach and maintain comfortable temperatures, but their heating capacity may be less powerful compared to built-in saunas.

Built-In Saunas: Built-in saunas can use either traditional or infrared heating systems, depending on your preference. Traditional saunas use a stove or heater to warm the air, creating a higher humidity environment, while infrared saunas heat the body directly. Built-in saunas often offer more powerful heating options and can provide a more intense and consistent heat experience.

Longevity and Maintenance

Portable Saunas: Portable saunas are generally built with lighter materials and may have a shorter lifespan compared to built-in options. They are relatively easy to maintain—usually requiring just regular cleaning of the interior fabric and occasional checks of the heating elements. However, the materials and construction might not withstand heavy use over the long term.

Built-In Saunas: Built-in saunas are constructed with durable materials like wood, stone, or tile, making them more robust and long-lasting. They require more extensive maintenance, such as cleaning and checking the heater or stove regularly. The longevity of built-in saunas is generally higher, and with proper care, they can be a lasting addition to your home.

Resale Value and Impact

Portable Saunas: Due to their temporary nature, portable saunas may not add significant value to your home. They can be easily moved or sold if you decide to relocate. Their impact on your home is minimal, making them a practical choice for those who prefer flexibility.

Built-In Saunas: Built-in saunas can enhance the value of your home, particularly if they are well-designed and integrated into the space. They are seen as a luxury feature that can appeal to potential buyers. However, the return on investment will depend on the overall appeal of the sauna and the market conditions.

Final Words

Choosing between portable and built-in saunas ultimately depends on your budget, space, and long-term goals. Portable saunas for sale Melbourne offer affordability, ease of setup, and flexibility, making them ideal for those who want a sauna without a major commitment. Built-in saunas provide a more permanent, customisable, and high-performance option, but they require a larger investment and more extensive installation.

By considering these factors, you can make an informed decision that best suits your needs and enhances your home wellness experience. Whether you opt for a portable or built-in sauna, both options can provide valuable health benefits and contribute to a relaxing and rejuvenating lifestyle.
