This is why I moved back to Australia!!!

We had a big night at the local pub last night, slept in (unforuntately on my own), 5 minutes from waking up I was in the surf going for a swim and now I’m sitting on the couch watching the Ashes.

For those who don’t know ‘The Ashes’ is a cricket trophy that Australia and England play for every 4 years or so.  The ‘Ashes’ are from some stumps burned in the 1880’s.  I saw the urn that holds the ‘Ashes’ at the MCG (Melbourne Cricket Ground) a few years back and it is surprisingly small.

Unforuntately, my two house mates are here as well so I’m not sitting here in speedos as I’d like to.  But that is OK, on Monday I’m going to be living in a 100% speedo friendly house – hahaha.

No doubt there will be some backyard cricket this afternoon and a BBQ for dinner (no shrimp on the barbie – I don’t think I’ve ever had ‘shrimp on the barbie’ – we don’t even call them shrimp – we call them prawns).  It is getting a bit hot so I’m going to go jump in the surf again.
