APEC was in town so we Sydneysiders got a free long wkend just past. Not that it made a tremendous difference to my usual work week apart from getting Friday off 'work' work. The city was apparently chaotic with the uber-expensive fence/cage & road closures to 'protect' Dubya (and the other whoevers). Naturally non-political me (apart from quietly listening to the Dixie Chicks at home) I stayed very well away from the city & protests. Which was just as well because it was a choca-block sporting long weekend. Got up early Sat morning to watch the Venus vs Henin semi-final. It wasn't great but good enough. And as expected, much better than the final. Sat night was of course the Swans' Elimination Final away at Collingwood. A good fight back towards half time but we simply faded away in the 3rd & final quarters. The lost means finishing 7th for the season & no (boooooo!!!!!!) Grand Final for the 1st time since 2004. This AFL season just seems so short now that I don't give a toss who wins anymore (it looks like a Geelong yr).
Quick few hours sleep after a bit of work Sat night & it was time for the Henin-Kuznetsova final Sun morning. Didn't (want to) get up for the men's semis (bloody 2am in the morning!!) but from what I heard they were great matches anyway so didn't miss much at all. Women's final was, of course, a boilover so I went pottering about in the garden & the dog before settling down for some work & a night of TV (Enstein Factor, Idol, Rove, W&G....). Got up early again to watch the R-Fed vs Djoker final which was quite entertaining. Why didn't the Djoker imitate Sharapova again at the end of the match? What a waste, with her already in his supporter box.
1st Yr fieldtrip coming around again this coming wkend, & next wkend is the Dragon Boat World Championship at Penrith with I promised to go so no wkends for me for a couple of wks. At least I planted out my stuff this past wkend in time for spring-y weather.
