Rain rain rain....

Hi, this is just to let you all know that your one and only McSteve is still alive and nowhere near the bush fires or anything like that, and there isn't really anymore racial bashing going on thats clouding the news. I'm a bit sunburnt from watching the cricket yesterday but it was fun watching the South African's amass a total of 451-9 declared, then reduce the Aussies to about 59-3 or something like that in about 15 overs. Australia still managed to turn the game around in their 2nd innings though in the last few days, so the Aussie's are all smug around here, mainly thanks to Ricky Ponting, the small whiny git! I at least have a bit of a nice tan now though... The cricket was fun, people just getting some sun, beer and enjoying the atmosphere, quite a few stars there, Shane Warne, Glenn McGrath, Graeme Smith, plus some inflatable fun for the crown to enjoy (see gallery by clicking on the picture below)

"Bowled 'im Warney!"

The last few days have been mental weather, it rained so much lately, pretty much since the start of the new year. It rained loads last night whilst walking home from work, then I decided just to strip off and stick all my clothes in the wash.... A few minutes later I went to check my messages on my phone, but alas, I'd gone and stuck it in the washing machine hadn't I!? My new phone!!! I know it was only $69, but still! I tried to rescue it from the warm soapy watered cauldron of the top loading washing machine (thank god you can just open the lid of the washing machine at any point throughout the wash cycle!) and we blow dried it but it doesn't work at all, not surprisingly really!!! I'm relying on my old phone, but the keys down the right hand side still require major pressure to be applied on them to register a keystroke, and I'm not sure how long the battery will last, but its all I got! I can't afford another phone! As the Swedish say; "Ma telephone a tresig." (My phone is broken)...

I'm off out in Manly tonight with my Swedish mate Chris, today is my day off, so hopefully I can actually have a decent night out without worrying about anything, despite all my dumb antics of late.
