Killing time today - cricket

Some say that cricket is a dull sport. On most occasions I would disagree... Cricket is a gentleman's sport and watching someone you know play can be very entertaining. It also allows you an emotional pipeline into the game - you get excited when they bowl a wicket, or make a great catch or hit a four! It's exciting. 

Watching on an international level is wicked too!! In the past 3 months I have had some great times with some great girls, watching australia play ODI's and Twenty20 matches. It's just the culture of it- you get pulled into it. The beer, the wine, the food, the cheers, the Mexican waves, the beach balls flying about and getting confiscated by security. It really is just a great time. 

Why don't the local leagues pick up there game a little. Haha.

I'm sitting here with my best friend Alysha (such an awesome chick I'll have to dedicate a whole post to how much I love and respect that chick - watch this space) watching her boyfriend Matt play the grand final match... Yes I may be blogging at the same time but that is entirely irrelevant. The first time made 180 runs... It's time to chase boys. 

Up the mighty redbecks!!

Friends are the family you choose - choose wisely

Sometimes we get lucky and someone comes into your life and changes you forever. I have been blessed to have many people come into my life and make a massive impact on who I am as a person, I don't plan to ever let those people go - or for that matter, make sure they always know how much they mean to me!  Babycakes - my bestie, met this girl while working at a golf club and we instantly clicked! She tells it like it is and doesn't put up with your shit. She is also one of the most kind hearted, generous and absolutely gorgeous girls I have ever met. She has helped me through some very dark times in my life and motivates me everyday to be a better version of myself. She is a pillar of strength in my long standing battle with obesity for which I will never be able to thank her for. I don't know how she will survive four weeks in Europe with me but I can't wait to explore the world with her.  Millzdawwwggg, soulmate, realestate buddies, this chick! My sister from another ...

Euro Adventures Pt 3 - The Day From Hell

Today. The day from hell. The worst possible day where all the bad things that could have possibly happened DID HAPPEN!  I am going to put it all down to the French. They have successfully ruined the start of our tour! So here is the goss:  - the Ferry workers were striking - the French lit the EuroStar rail on fire so no trains were running - all of the planes out were chockers and booked up We started the day really well - met up with our tour group and started meeting people and getting set to get on the bus. We met two super awesome girls from Wollongong (Taylor and Sam) who we sat with on the bus.  We were then informed by our tour leader Noddie (no that's not her actually name) that the French were striking and the main port in Dover was currently closed. She said we would still be going down to see what the go is... So on we trekked down to Dover where we were able to see the magnificent white cliffs of Dover. But that was where the fun ended. We waited out at the ...

Euro Adventures Pt 16 - Wild Boar Panini's and a Relaxing Afternoon in Roma

Another day another dollar - oh wait...I don't have to go to work today. Haha. We have another drive day today to get to Rome - our last stop in Italy before getting into Greece and the Greek Islands. It was about 4-5 hours from Florence to Rome and we had an early lunch stop at a little town called Orvieto.  It was a beautiful little town except for one fact - it was on the absolute top of a mountain - making it very had to take over in war and times of unrest. Noddy told us that the last person to conquer Orvieto was Julius Caesar - she also told us that they were famous for their porchetta panini's (wild boar rolls)... We had to try one. Being a town on a giant cliff face we had to catch a strangle little train/carriage thing from the bottom to the top. We then had a very steep walk up to the town centre - Orvieto also had a Duomo that looked like a liquorice all-sort on one side.  We had some free time so some of the group went to do a tour of the underground tunnels of th...
