The covers are on!

I got roped into the school run this afternoon - emergency. Wife and daughter had gone out for a little retail therapy and they were running late! I'll phone Dad and see if he will do it...
Who can't respond to a daughter pleading Daaaaaaaaaaaad... So off I go and of course there's no on street parking so have to use the cricket club car park. The covers are on even though it's not raining and not only that but there is standing water on the boundary. Doesn't bode well for that match later!
