It all started so well too.

Having watched most of the first 2 sessions of the Ashes first test, SBS very nicely having the Channel 4 feed from England, I went to bed.

Radio on and joy of joys! The TMS feed from the BBC! Wonderful. I fell asleep somewhere between the innings, happy in the knowledge that the Aussies had been bowled out for 190.

The news this morning was not good. I would have hoped to enjoy today, being in Australia. Now I have to hide.

Ahh well, footy tonight, Saints v Pies at Slippery Stadium.
