Incidentally, Toobs seems to exacerbate GERD 😛

The Cricket

Yesterday (the 2nd) was the first day of the second test, Australia versus England, at the SCG. I’m proud to say I was there to watch Australia recover from a pretty poor start to score an impressive 7 for 376 after 90 overs.

Of course, for some the reasons for going to the cricket may have been less about the sport 🙂

Bondi Beach

A couple of days ago we went to Bondi Beach… along with what seemed like half of Sydney. It was quite spectacular.

Although the crowd was impressive, it didn’t feel crowded at the water’s edge, and the lazy walk from the very northern end to the very southern end (and back again) was a memorable experience. The sun was relentless and hot, but the water was refeshingly cool.

We were both struck by how well she posed and the confidence with which she held herself. Although she didn't have the conventional look of a professional model, her actions suggested otherwise. I'll be honest and say she charmed me a little (note to KLS: think Oahu sushi girl and sensei-chan)! I handed my camera to Adam and he snapped a quick shot out the window as the bus sped away...
