In a single week I managed to partake in three sporting passtimes. Sunday Squash, Wednesday Tennis followed by another first for me; Thursday Netball. A sport I'd always known was predominantly played by girls and non-contact at that... I still managed to give myself mild concussion when I collided with some dudes shoulder in the 1st half of the 1st game. I soldiered on, but 5minutes later I could see nothing but a yellow blur in my left eye so decided that without depth perception, I was probably no good to anybody. I saw out the rest of the game from the sidelines, but was back for game no.2 where I ran myself ragged in the Centre position. Game No.3 and my week of sports was taking it's toll, though I just about managed to see it through till full time. Blistered and without so much of an arch under my feet, I heavy footed it home with my partner in sporting crime, Azz.So came the weekend, a slightly spontaneous Friday night with work mate Paul followed by my house warming party on Saturday.
A great little turnout made it considering how short a time I've been here, the songs played out as the mid afternoon sun warmed us, Decca made his way in to town too. I showed the Ozzies how to do a real BBQ (ie. coals rather than gas) English style... snags with one side blackened for effect ;) Later on the party left and carried on at the Coogee Beach Hotel in to the early hours. A Sunday of sore heads and sizzlin' sunshine followed. Not a highly productive day other than the hosing down of the appartment - looking a little worse for wear before the cleaning began.The weekend played out with a Christmas dinner at Aarons place, with a few Poms in the house, we had a pretty traditional meal courtesy of Mick and Chris cooking up all the usual meats, stuffing, veg and of course Xmas pudding and mince pies for dessert. Note: Due to my over relaxed mood, my camera recieved very little use... though I will try and source some more pics from other people for this post.
