The Empire Strikes Back

Not so long ago in a land far, far away...

The England cricket team finally gave their fans something to cheer about. They've had the worst possible summer down under so I'm glad they came away with the money in the one day tournament. Good fer them!

Despite not being English I still cheer them on whenever they play anyone else apart from Wales. Whether my priorities will shift when we're in Australia who knows? Depends how we're accepted I suppose. Supporting Australian teams would break the habit of a lifetime. However, when in Rome...

Someone came to look at the house tonight. A lady from the neighbouring town of Prestatyn. She didn't stay long and I don't think we'll hear from her again. She made all the right noises but, then again, no-one's going to come into your home and start slagging it off are they? I'm leaning towards renting at the moment. That way if Australia doesn't work out how we hope, we can always ship back and have somewhere half decent to live in. We'll see.

In other news Britain was hit by snow last week. We didn't get affected too 'badly' I'm afraid. It would have been nice to have a good dusting but didn't get much and what we did get didn't last. It was effing freezing though and I was forced to dust off my 'North Face' coat to combat the Arctic conditions. It's massive. I brought it in New York, a year ago this week funnily enough. It was freezing there too. The lads in work take the p*ss when I wear it. They compare me to Hagrid from the Harry Potter films. It does the trick though, its warm as toast, so what if I have to turn sideways to get through door frames
