When it rains, it pours...

Overslept this morning and find myself on the later train (7:40am) because I was up until 1am playing a fumbbl tournament.  I didn’t think I would, but I got to the final and hence had to play three games straight.  Lost the final, in a cliffhanger 1-0 but you can read about my comprehensive first round win here.

But I tell you, its worth sleeping in today.  It has been pouring torrential rain since 10 o’clock last night and is still bucketing down.  The weather has been rainy this week, but today is the worst rain I have seen in a long time.  You can tell how heavy it is and how long the ‘drought’ has been going on by the reaction of kids.  The girls this morning were particularly amazed by how wet it was… I guess they have never seen rain like it ever!

So, my last couple of postings have been about habit and I am now on a foreign train with foreign commuters.  I may have taken someone’s regular spot perhaps… hee hee.

I don’t have a lot to write because my brain is sleepy.  A late night, coupled with snoozing the alarm too long means that my head is drowsy.  I may just signoff here (at Emu Plains) and catch some zeds.

I need to ask you what sort of rig/setup you have for writing your blogs on the train clay. I've been holding off buying a laptop until I can get an permanent LAN connection on the move... but if you have something already sussed, please share!

Mate, its just my work laptop. It doesnt publish until I get to the office and connect to the net. I simply send an email to the blog account, and after some glitchy format issues, seems to be working fine now.

I dont publish from the train...

Ahhhh okay then. I thought we finally had some true 'mobile laptops' in the Sydney basin where it's connected to the net at all times.

We can only wish ;)
