Dang, I'm busy

Last night, a brief social (despite the agony - now thankfully receded - in my knees thanks to bowls), this morning voted (huzzah!) , this afternoon the wonderful ballet of Don Quixote, and then the landlady's party this evening.

Unless I hide and sleep, which is sorely tempting...

Cold, wet and glorious





Women's World Cup: Ghana 1-0 Costa Rica and New Zealand 3-1 Colombia
The Ghana game was splendid, even if it was a case of women against girls - Ghana were simply bigger and stronger, and the dominance in 50/50s was a boon. But they won this with good football. In fact, they should have won by more.
Then there was the NZ match. Hopefully this will put an end to the ridiculous and repetitive observations that this is so different from the likes of the Phoenix or the Premier League. The NZ team was physical and aggressive, and the Colombian team was cynical and professional. But a big thanks to Brendan for the access to the box or the second half. I'd had enough of the cold. And what a game!

Found a wallet today

Does anyone know Jacobus Andries Bester? He's a student at Vic and a customer at Westpac and Dick Smiths. I guess his wallet will be heading for the police station or bank tomorrow...
