 Sunday 9^th July

SHE SAID:

Geoff, myself & Charli, the dog, went out to the Retreat.

Geoff wanted to clean the muddy ute.

I wanted to clean the inside of Bertie the caravan.

Charli wanted to run around madly.

Success on all fronts.

Geoff & Charli... bestest buddies!

HE SAID:

It is Dan's 31st birthday today. That wee little nipper is now a 31 year old lump. I am old!

We gave the car a going over with the power washer this morning. I sometimes wonder if it is worth it with cars. The result is often poor. Perhaps paying the few dollars for the touchless, automated carwash would be better. Anyway, there is now less mud on the car.

The third Ashes test is looking like it will end in a win for England. Bugger. They are still moaning about Bairstow's stumping in the previous test, and have come up with a new scandal about Carey not paying a barber for a haircut. Both stories are rubbish, of course. And, Alistair Cook, the ex-England captain, has apologised for being the spreader of the Carey haircut rumour. 

They claim to have the highest standards, but are always at the bottom of the lowest in reality. It seems having a competitive opponent makes them desperate. Anyway, assuming that it will be 2 - 1 Australia's way after this test, hopefully the next two tests are equally as close.

We had the second round of the very tasty kangaroo fillets for dinner; this time with salad and the left-over potato bake. it was yummo!
