Weekend Wrap...

I am just not getting time to post on weekends these days! Seems to be
so busy. Now at 8pm on Sunday night, I have a free moment to myself...

Saturday morning was busy with the lawns and the chores... managed to
get it all done by 10am and we went off to the Glenbrook festival. The
kids rode the big slippery dip and the "tea cups" ride and we bought
some showbags and got free balloons from the local member of parliament
and the girls sat in a Fire Engine and had their faces painted.

Then it was off to cricket... for those following the game, we were
chasing 302 for the win... which is a massive score. We were soon 3/18
and all hopes were dashed in the first 30 mins. Yours truly was 2nd out
for 3 after getting an inside edge through to the keeper. We were
ultimately routed for 94 and were asked to follow on. I at least showed
some form with the bat as we negotiated 2 hours batting to finish
5/104. I carried my bat through the innings to finish 43 not out... but
it was bitter sweet.

Then I drove over to DM's and picked up my new pressie for myself, the
Hyper II Blood Bowl pitch. Looked just as good as it did on the web,
and I am very happy with it. Can't wait to get it into a legit game.

Then we had Noyz and baby Karly and Cam & Paula and baby Lukas over for
a few drinks. Hit the hay at 1am with the alarm set for 6am for the
soccer. Noyz stayed the night and Cam returned at 6:30am and the three
of us watched the game with bacon, eggs, toast, juice and coffee for
breakfast. Good game, 1-0 result to Uruguay though and it will be a big
clash in Sydney on Wednesday night. If we win 1-0, extra time and
penalties.... 2-0 we go through, but if Uruguay score - then we need to
put 3 in!

After the game we vegged out and then went to Enoch & Anitha's "Unity
Party". Enoch & Anitha got married in India nearly a year ago, but
thought it would be nice to have a party for family and friends that
didnt make it to Bangalore... which was all of us! Excellent Indian
food, but a few beers would have been nice with it... ;-)

Went home, and on a bad note, we realised that somewhere on our travels
on Saturday, we lost our digital camera. Last seen at the Glenbrook
festival... so at the moment, Niki is really down in the dumps about
it. They're expensive, but not as expensive as when we bought the thing
about 18mths ago.

So on that note, after an extremely busy weekend, I am going to crash
out... will write something more prophetic on the train tomorrow...
