A Day in the Life

I wish I had more exciting things to share, but seeing as though it was a regular two day weekend here, it was pretty low key. But it seems people check after a long weekend so I'll try to at least give those few people an update of things to come.

This was another low key weekend, but that's going to change this weekend. I've been to two Aussie Football League (AFL) games and just starting to get the hang of the rules. This weekend we're going to my first rugby match. I don't really know what it is, but there's a Tri Nations on going battle and on saturday we're going to see the Australian national team (Wallabies) take on the All Blacks (New Zealand's national team). From watching rugby on TV I'm guessing it's going to be a long, but fun night.

On another bright spot we spent all week trying to get good tickets to the U2 concert in December with Jay Z opening. There was originally one show and we had a heck of a time with tickets. We couldn't get what we wanted, then tried for the next best thing but we weren't satisfied so we passed and tried for more but they got progressively worse. I scratched the idea and decided to scalp some on the floor for way more than they were worth. But then, luck happened and they announced a second show. Tickets went on sale today and the guys in the office was able to two tickets in the front row while i came up empty handed. I gave up and 5 minutes later tried once more and low and behold, I got one too. Face value. So we have tickets in the VIP section of the stage. Can get there right before the show and go right to the stage, please pass Go and collect $200 on your way sir.

The weather is clearing up too. We've had a few 70 plus days and even had the outlook appointment pop up to book surf camp. The water is stil a little cold but it's looking like the first of October I'll be learning to surf. The half marathon is also coming up in a week and a half. Still haven't been running that much, but my "schedule" says it's the cool down phase so I'll just continue at the gym. I'm trying to find a way to post during the race (if things are going well of course), so I'll let everyone know if i can.

Hope everyone had a nice relaxing three day weekend and enjoyed the end of summer because its my time now.
