some stuff

Long time no blog. I haven't been very busy, that's kind of the problem. Nothing to report. Situation normal. Touch has started up again. I am learning to referee this season. It's exhausting, physically and mentally, all those decisions! It's not too bad though, the lower grades are pretty slow so I don't have to leg it to keep up with the play. But by the time my game comes around at 8 I am not exactly fresh. Our team has a lot of referees in it so that's going to be the story all season I think.

I have an engagement party to attend in a few weeks so I have been tempting myself with visits to dress shops. Not very sensible given that Christmas is just around the corner and 5 weeks of unpaid leave looms... For at least some of that time I will be in Canberra chilling out. The rest hasn't been decided yet.

Yesterday was a stupid horse race. I was asked to come to work with some kind of frippery in my hair. As if I own such a thing. Needless to say I did not participate in the event. I am not sure why horses running is so fascinating. Perhaps the fact that you have to lay some money on the line in order to summon up any kind of interest in it is evidence enough that it is a dull event. The only good thing to come out of the day was the left over Tim Tams.
