Spring has sprung and summer is around the corner

Welcome to Spring everyone down this part of the woods and happy Autumn back home in Blighty.

Well what an exciting week it has been already!

I won my first 5-a-side trophy in god knows how many years on Monday night. A 6-2 victory, including one goal by yours truly, was enough to win the Grand Final of the Monday Division 3 League at Richmond. The trophy we each got is very nice and is a pretty big size. (I'll have to post a photo)

Tuesday morning I watched Newcastle United beat Leicester 1-0 to go top of the Championship. Such rare good news on the NUFC front is worth a mention here for that alone.

This coming Saturday sees the return to our apartment of Maxi and Tash, or the travelling nomads as the have been recently. They have just spent 3 weeks house sitting and looking after cats at Steve & Trish's place in Brunswick whilst they have been in Europe, and now this week they are house sitting at Wax's place in Prahran. The good news for Maxi and Tash though is that they can move into their own Elwood apartment on Sunday, so with Wax back on Saturday we are saving the kids from a night on the streets before their final (hopefully!) move whilst in OZ.

To celebrate the kids return we going to Flemington Races this Saturday. The Melbourne Spring Racing Carnival is only a month or so away so this day of racing looks to be a good one with several big name horses making their return in preparation of the carnival. Can't wait.

September also means end of detox!!!! Well to be fair it also doesn't mean we are going to go wild and start 24 hour drinking, but at the same time I'll not turn down a drink. One thing I have found out is I haven't missed coffee at all, so I won't be rushing back to drinking coffee on a daily basis. I have loved drinking hot water & lemon so I think I'll stick to that.
