Four Days At The Cricket

It is late afternoon on Tuesday and again I have been to the cricket today! That is 4 days in a row now! With Christmas Eve, Christmas Day followed by Boxing Day and then four days into the MCG for the Test match, needless to say I am a bit on the weary side. And to top it all off, Australia seems to be well on the way to losing its No. 1 status as the best cricket team in the world with its second loss in a row to South Africa. Losing quite a few top class players to retirement has left some massive gaps in the team. Australia is now in a "rebuilding phase" so it may struggle for the next few series as it rebuilds its cricket side.

Kate, Arj and family flew out of Melbourne Airport this morning and are now swimming in the pool at home in Caloundra and enjoying the sub-tropical heat and the comfort of the swimming pool. Meanwhile in Melbourne it is a brisk 20 degrees and I am dressed in my 'winter' clothes! I dropped them off at the airport this morning before heading off to the cricket.

We have a 'booking' for tonight with friends for a Vietnamese meal and we are off to a party tomorrow night. Apart from that we are 'free'. Give us a call if you want to catch up!

The car we have here isn't performing well, hopefully it is an automatic gearbox service problem which can be fixed up cheaply. However with Kate and Arj away we can use their car to a certain degree but we will need to stay a little closer to home than what we would have had we had our own car working 100%.
