I have not been doing much all week apart from nursing my finger. Last Thursday I was wiping down the oven when I sliced the top of my finger, I have been in pain for 10days now. If it was not on the tip of my right hand finger it would have healed a long time ago. read more
I am loving the new Manchester City website, there are still a few bugs to be ironed out and for some reason there is no mobile version released yet but I would expect that to follow very shortly. It actually took me until the next day to realise there was no adds because I run addblocker so I do not see adds anyway. On that note, I just installed adblocker on my iPhone - oh yeah :)Happy to see my dad is still on the site and he even has a nice little blurb about him which ... read more

This may be the new city but they still scare me death and make watching them very hard. We did it , 1-0 , 3 wins and still no goals conceded Sven-Goran Eriksson is a genius and has got Fergie on the run. I knew we had them worried when I read that Fergie is trying to play his mind games on US, lolGeovanni with a 25-yard shot, beauty. read more
On Tuesday I left Lonely Planet after over 2 and half years working there. We went out for a drink on Tuesday for my farewell party and I got a Manchester City farewell card and an 8GB memory disc, you can never have enough memory discs. I got my new couch and coffee table delivered on Wednesday, apart from a slight hicup when the delivery man came with no help and expected me to help carry it into my flat, it was completed with little hassle. read more
I have spent a great Friday and Saturday in Manchester catching up with all my friends that I have not seen for 18months and some for 2 and a half years. Just as I was starting to have a good time in Manchester it is time to go to Marbella, Spain. On Saturday, I finally saw Manchester City score a goal and end up beating the mighty . read more
What a start to the new year, My first derby on my big screen. Albert Riera did a great job on the left of City's midfield and Manchester City took the derby-day honours with 3 goals. Trevor Sinclair put City ahead with a neat turn and shot after Joey Barton's cross was not properly cleared, and a cool Darius Vassell finish made it 2-0. Robbie Fowler can on and made sure of the win in injury time when he smashed home a third, I bet he will be having a great ... read more
Sydney FC came down to Melbourne for a top of the table clash and we won 5-0 and then Manchester City produced a stunning display apart from the finishing to top off an excellent weekent. has moved to the top of the Hyundai A-League table after the most devastating football display of the season to date, hammering an undisciplined Sydney FC by a massive five goals to nil. A capacity crowd of over 18,000 fans turned up to see Archie and Kevin Muscat battle it out... read more

I could not wait any longer for my egg on toast fix and today I decided to go out and get a toaster as my grill is broke. I stumbled on an appliance that not only makes toasts but can poach or steam an egg at the same time. I am very exited, for the not the game LOL I have Monday off work and Tuesday is Australia day so that is a public holiday, the weather is sunny and warm. read more
Starting with Tevez signing and then the funny 'Welcome to Manchester' poster, great minds think alike as I had already twittered that headline a day earlier. They managed to top that by streaming the game to everyone and what a great job they did, the technical team that is but it was our B team, I hope they continue to stream them all so we can see our new signing, !
Liverpool - Didnt get Barry & increased Johnson ... read more
This weekend was ANZAC day and for the first time since I came to Australia it fell on a weekend so we missed out on a public holiday. Another amazing weekend for sport, great win for City and remarkable comeback for United to complete my quadruple accumulator :) After a hard 3 weeks I am now very close to finishing off my flex enhancements for the Do Not Call Register. Welcome Twitters who should now be seeing this. read more
Since I came back from England I have worked two weeks and had one week off for Xmas. The only bit of exercise I have had is my Boxing Day walk which as you can see from the image was actually a bigger walk then planned. It is very refreshing walking around with no destination but you can find yourself walking around in circles, I walked so far I had to get the train home lol. read more
The weather has been great in Melbourne the past couple of weeks. Warm and Sunny and since the clocks moved forward and we are now in Summer Time the sun is out later each day. This is the first summer in my new flat and the balcony is far superior to Eureka, I can come home from work at 5pm and catch the sun till it sets about 8pm creating an amazing orange sunset. read more
