Maiden Of Brisbane

The last few days have been really hot. Last night I was tossing and turning, unable to get to sleep. We had a little bit of rain, maybe ten minutes worth. It's not enough, and it just pushed the humidity higher.

So the Ashes on Saturday were a blast. I had a great time. Beers with mates in the sun at the cricket. I'm really glad that I was given the opportunity to get down there. The crowd was terrific, even with the fun police trying to keep things calm. It really was wonderful. And getting home was a breeze as well, which always caps off a good day/night.

Once I was at home I had a tin of soup, then a power nap. Unfortunately when I woke up from my power nap I was feeling decidedly groggy, really pretty terrible. I had a shower and munched some headache tablets then I was into the shirt and tie and over the bridge to Ascot for Deanna's birthday.

The birthday party was also a lot of fun. It was a cocktail party, and the house looked beautiful, as did the host. Tim also looked quite dashing in his suit. The family had put alot of effort into the party, with the brothers behind the bar mixing up a variety of drinks. I sampled one of each. Several of each actually.

The night progressed and I was doing pretty well. Or so I thought. Stuey said the next day that I was actually off with the fairies a bit, but I thought that I was okay. Who knows? I hope I didn't offend anyone, and I think that I might have just gotten a little bit carried away with conversation towards the end. It happens.

We headed into the Valley, and I know that I was drunk by this stage as I did some characteristic drunk things. You know, the usual. Asking people inappropriate questions, thinking about buying cigarettes, walking no-where in particular. I eventually headed for the cab rank at the casino, but was picked up by some kind souls on the way. I don't think that they knew what they were getting themselves into.

My night ended with the wonderful Ria letting me into her place, and me falling into a deep sleep.

Unfortunately I didn't sleep forever. I woke up and I wasn't feeling too crash hot. In fact, I didn't feel too crash hot for a large portion of the day. We went down the coast though and I felt better once I'd had a swim. It was good coast weather.

That's about it. I've run out of time.

I'm going to see Borat's movie tomorrow night, I can't wait.
