38 = Too Hot For Cricket

The forecast 38 degrees for day 3 of the Melbourne Test sent me to enjoying the day in front of the TV rather than into the MCG.  I was at day 2 and I am just about ready to head into what should be the final day, Day 4.

Boxing Day was spent with friends barry and Rainy down at Drouin.  John Logan and Sue were there also.

It was great all being back together as we have known each other for some time.  Bazz sorted a BBQ and we chatted and enjoyed a few drinks.  This bought beer isn't quite to my tatse so I switched pretty early in the day to red wine.

I was up quite early on Friday for Day 2 of the Test at the MCG.  I was at the ground before it was opened to the public and got myself a great spot just where I prefer to sit with a great view as the photo shows.

I enjoyed the day a lot despite Australia batting abysmally.

Malaysia Garden restaurant for an evening meal with Kate Arj and family on the way home was enjoyable too.

Hot weather forecast for Saturday kept me home but I am primed and ready into head to the MCG again today.

We fly home early tomorrow and will spend tonight with Kim in St Kilda. I will catch a tram from the cricket as there is a stop right outside her front door!

We expect to be back home on the Sunshine Coast by mid morning Monday!

I am so glad that HOT weather is over there with you and not here for a change. Our high tomorrow is predicted to be about 2C which is just fine for me. I hate the hot summer weather. A cold north wind will be blowing and bringing the front in dry. We sure could use some rain but none is in the forecast.
