Good night guys... trust that you all had a great week so far and are just as excited as me for tomorrow - day before the long weekend 😊 Been a crazy busy week for me but thankful non the less because I am alive and of course I am a Trini lol. Here are the positive vibes that I picked up on today. Remember to look out for similar stories and share with me... Until tomorrow enjoy the rest of your evening.
1. Community: Remember 5 year old Khadijah Baash who I blogged about last Monday? Khadijah had topped her pre-school class in mathematics and reading last term despite not having electricity at her Heights of Guanapo, Arima home. Well we have great news as several charitable organisations, members of the public, Habitat for Humanity and a former attorney general yesterday offered to help.

2. Sport: Well we have this memorable day down in our National Memories... On this day one of the greatest feats in sporting history... the great Brian Charles Lara made 400 not out, highest score in Test history! Came in 778 minutes. 582 balls. 43 fours, 4 sixes, against England at Antigua Recreational Ground.Claiming the world record twice is itself great but this legend in 1994 broke the record of the highest score of 365* set by Sir Garfield Sobers with a score of 375. Matthew Hayden then broke the record when he scored 380 versus Zimbabwe, but 2 years later Lara rewrote the record books when he scored 400* against the same opponents once again. Truly a master batsman and a match winner!
