Grand Final 2007
Friday Night I went on a office pub crawl around Fitzroy. It was a good laugh but with the walking and drinking in the heat I woke up on Saturday in a very bad way. I dont think it helped that the weather topped 100. I was supposed to be viewing flats but I felt so bad I could not more out of my flat so I just sat watching TV with the air con.
Mornington Peninsula
I rented a car this weekend and drove down the coast to the Mornington Peninsula which is just over an hours drive out of Melbourne City. The beaches there are a lot nicer with none of the city hustle. I stayed there all day on the beach, swimming, eating and sunbaking. I really loved being mobile and I realise how much freedom a car gives you, so I'm now on the hunt for a 2nd hand bargin.
Little Britain Live
Monday night I went to the Metro Club to see Lilly Allen play minus one band member who was refused entry in to Australia. She was very good despite her only having a handful of songs to perform. I suppose the advantage of that is you know that she is going to sing every song you love.
Australian Open 2007
Friday was a public holiday for Australia Day so it has been a long weekend.
Very Very Hot
The past week here in Melbourne the weather has been between 90 and 100 making it a very sweaty week. On Friday it reached 102 and the air con at work broke down, so Friday morning was unbearable at work. The drought is getting worse and to give an exampe of how much water has been lost, the rivers are now dry and they are revealing weapons that people discarded years ago, I think some criminals will be a bit worried this week. As I live in a flat and I dont have a garden or car the restrictions have not affected me .... yet.
Burnt Arm
Last night I was making some duck and I ran out of disposable dishes so I placed the duck on some tin foil wrapped around an oven tray. When I took the duck out of the oven, all the juices ran off the tin foil and down my arm. Pain I can not describe shot up my arm and I then spent the rest of the evening putting layers of pain relief gel on.
Port Melbourne
I have not updated my site in a long time so here I go.Thank you all for your birthday cards, I did not do anything special for my birthday and just watched the Manchester Derby. The only good thing to come from that game was that I had bet on 3-1 and for Giggs to be man of the match.
Movember Morph
Finally the end of Movember, it was really getting itchy the last week. I never realised how hard it would be to get it off, but its finaly off :)
