Having done nothing today except watching UK's general election (all constituencies have yet failed to come in but it looks like the tories will make it. Not sure if this is good or bad) I take this opportunity to note what came to my mind during the last days and weeks that never made it into my blog.
1) Neil Robertson beat Graeme Dott 18:13 in Snookers World Championship and became the first Aussie to clinch the title. It remains to be seen what impact that achievement will have on Australia's snooker but as usual a lot of young kids want to learn the game from now on. The final was even broadcasted live on Australian TV.
2) There are no 1-Cent or 2-Cent coins in Australia and so all the .99-amounts must be rounded when paying at the supermarket check out. Therefore you sometimes will have to pay more, sometimes you will be given a discount of 2 cents. Not a bad idea at all, at least your wallet stays light ;-)
3) I have seen this ad on gumtree the other day and called John straight away to see if there was still a place available. As it turned out I was first and we needed at least another 2 persons to go sailing. So far nobody else called in and John has now cancelled the trip. Real shame since this would have been a true bargain and a great chance to learn new sailing stuff.
4) Since I wont be sailing this weekend I decided to head for Byron Bay. Actually I wanted to skip that location in the first place but Matty basically insisted on me going there ;-).
There is a Padi school and so I thought I should start my dive training. Therefore I will leave Brisbane on Sunday and make my way down south.
5) Havent heard from my girls recently. Drop me a line in the comments section or write me an email. Hope you've been well.
6) It's F1time again. On Sunday the Spanish GP will take place at 22:00h local time. Just hope I will be able to see it and that it will be recorded just as promised (got that little hint, bro ;-))
I am really excited to see how they broadcast the F1here in Down Under. It's probably Webber everywhere.
Had some more on my mind but now that I am actually writing it down I just cant recall. Might complete it on next chance.
Nice to see I have six followers already. Dont hesitate to comment my posts.

Hey sea dog,
ReplyDeleteI really appreciate reading your blog. I follow your writings each day.
I can slightly imagine what fantastic starry sky you had. It must be even better without any surrounding landscape. So it´s just you and the sky.
Have a nice time.
Keep your chin up!
