Saturday morning and I'm somewhat the worse for having a late night. It's not my fault. Blame England's cricketers for playing so well against the rather poor Aussies.

Ever since January the Aussie media have assumed Australia would win the Ashes. Now I'm not saying they're going to lose but the way they're playing compared to the way England are playing would suggest that there's no reason why England can't win these final 2 tests.

I had a night of cricket and texting, which was fun. Seems ages since I've had a good text convo with someone.

It's looking like it'll be a good day in Melbourne too, which is fortunate as there are a couple of things I need to do and having good weather with be a bonus.

It's also the last weekend of the home & away round in the AFL. I'll be at the Saints-Lions game tonight, which could to be very interesting. The Saints don't tend to do so well against Brisbane and at the moment the Lions have more to play for to get into the Top 8. As long as my 100% record stays intact I'll be a happy bunny. Virtually every game this weekend has meaning. The Pies have already lost to the Bulldogs though which will give Hawthorn and Carlton a chance to not finish bottom.

I've also been very fortuate to have a wireless internet connection floating around in the hostel saving me heaps on cafe bills. It's a bit wishy-washy at times but it's been fun to have a room to myself and just be able to visit a ton of sites that I wouldn't normally check out. Also put together a new guestbook for Sarah, much needed attempts at less spam. Who knows, I might even update the DLBG soon!

And Liverpool won the Super Cup overnight, which was nice.
