World Cup timezone fatigue

Here's a couple of images for you from Beth's first birthday party. Doesn't she look great in that dress? Luckily the weather was good, so we spilled out into the garden for snags and beer, good time had by all and all that. One tip though; never leave a pom in charge of the barbie. He may blow up the whole party with an ill-attached gas nozzle - or at least badly singe his father-in-laws arm. Speaking theoretically, you understand.

The rest of the week has been footie/sleeplessness dominated - Australia faced up well to Brazil but were unlucky, Engerland have been pants but they've done enough. Another 5am start tomorrow for the Socceroos v Croatia. Go Aussie!

We watched Showboat last night, which is pretty good and of course "Old Man River" is a brilliant song. It also features a lead couple called Gaylord and Magnolia. We've also been watching a DVD of the marvellous Bodyline TV series, which I remember from back in the day.

Up to Avoca this weekend for beer, footie, Talisman and movies - wahey!
