Sun Too Hot

I left the Adelaide Oval at lunch in the cricket. Australia was all out for 550 odd and Sth Africa 0 for 3 in reply. Six hours in the sun yesterday and two today were all I could stand although I enjoyed the cricket, and especially sharing it with my son Gordon who's a real cricket fan who barracks strongly for Sth Africa.

Gord's favourite player is Jaques Kallis and he didn't let us down with the ball yesterday taking two wickets as first change before he went off with an injury. If the cricket gods were not with SA yesterday I hope they are today and that Jaques is fit to bat and makes a good score for Gord. We came here as it was probably Gord's last chance to see Jaques live, there being no SA test in Melbourne this time and Jaques long career must be coming to an end.

We came over by plane on Wednesday evening. Rob came too. He's staying with his friend Hao till Dec 2 when they fly to Vietnam for a holiday. Hao is moving to Melbourne with work and he and Rob are to share a unit in Nunawading next year. Rob has finished Uni and hopefully will find a job. I'm going to Melbourne first thing next Monday to pick up the key to the unit, and will have to go down again to meet the removalist from Adelaide with Hao's stuff to let him in. Gord and I fly back tomorrow.

I'm in an internet cafe after having a much needed haircut. There are a lot of Asian voices around me and one who must be having trouble with some sort of game keeps yelling out "What the F***".

I'm out of here.
