The woolly rug - finally got hauled outside, hosed down, and given a good wash.

Started with the pre-league tournament last night. Its the seeding tournament for the club's league teams - basically it ranks all the league players so that teams can be finalised for the year. Off to a decent start, as I won my game last night. The pre-league goes on for three weeks, after which the teams will be finalised.

Went to the South Africa vs Pakistan ODI yesterday. It was the final of the series, played at Wanderers Stadium in Johannesburg. Not the greatest match - SA bowled Pakistan out for just over 150 runs, with 10 overs to spare. We only lost Graeme Smith's (surprise surprise) wicket during the chase. Was good to go and watch though.

Airports are usually a place of great joy for K and I - the thrill of discovering a new destination - or the anticipation of a holiday has always ensured that. This afternoon however, was a sad day for us, as we said farewell to K's folks and wished them well on their flight back to Perth.

Its been a good three weeks. We've spent lots of quality time together - a couple of good trips, some fantastic meals, and a number of quality bottles of red wine, but I guess all holidays eventually come to an end. We're pleased with the fact that they both seem to have had a good time in South Africa, and are both looking a lot more relaxed and refreshed as a result of the trip.

Its funny how, after only three weeks, coming home from the airport this afternoon the house feels so empty...

Went out to enjoy The Last Supper, last night, at Pigalle Restaurant in Bedfordview.

Had my folks around for a braai today, with K's folks. Food was really good (if we say so ourselves :-).
