This week just seemed to fly by. Of course the fact that I was in a near constant state of tiredness-fog probably helped make the week zip past. Why was I tired? Well, last Sunday I went to my first cricket game at the MCG!
I must say, it was a great night out. Sadly the South Africans lost against Australia, but it was a good spectacle nonetheless. Big hits, big catches and a big crowd. There were 62,180 people there - the biggest group of people I have ever been with. It was quite and experience to be in the middle of a 62,000 person mexican wave! I have some video of the wave, e.mail me if you want to have a lookie. I will definitley be going back there to watch more games - hopefully with some mates from New Zealand. HINT HINT everyone!
We are back into the swing of things at work. The holidays are over and everyone is back so things are at a nice level of busy. I have a new client to look after now in addition to my regulars, but they are an on call client, so I don't have to see them everyday, just whenever they need media or data from us. I am nice and familiar with my run now, so it is nice cruising around the city and the suburbs taking it all in. Melbourne is a beautiful city and there are many, many things to see and do.
This morning we went down the road to Werribee, the next town down the highway. It is a bit similar to Cambridge, nice leafy trees and cafes dotted here and there. Mrs B (the bargain hunter) took me to a place called Dimmies where you can get mega bargains on everything from clothes to shampoo. To give you and idea, we bought some new pants for me for work for only $12.99. These are the sort of suit pants you would pay anything from $30.00 to $60.00 for elsewhere. We will definitely be going back there! Another place we will be going back to is the Werribee Fruit, Vege and Meat wholesaler. We got 1.7kg of chicken (wings, breasts etc) for $5.00 and one kg of coffee for $7.99 as well as a few other things. Yum!
Well its quarter to two in the afternoon now, and I think I need to have a snooze....
