Off to Kalgoorlie for a few days w/c 21 Jan.
No doubt my trans-Tasman brethren will use the opportunity of my absence to slander the best efforts of the Aussie cricketers. Could somebody (doc?) please defend the national pride against their slings and arrows? Ta.

in a similar fashion, Fb, I'm trading in negative deg. C. for +20 deg. C. for several days (Mpls. v. Phoenix)

I'll do what I can, but I'm hoping the national selectors will start to pull their weight too.

I must admit I'm more worried about NZ playing SA than NZ playing Oz these days ...

I know that you'll all be crying tears of salt when I inform you that I will be absent for a week from tomorrow morning. I'm off to Menton to terrorise the French with my breathtakingly bad French and to suck lemons. I may put up a new contribute to the Travels page on my return, if anyone is interested ...

Well personally, I'm devastated that you're not around because we Aussies Hi Doc, Hi stales might have to wait a week to mention the lacklustre performance of the NZ cricket team in the VB Finals . The only exciting thing about the second final - I was there - was the phenomenal hail storm. The SCG was white - it looked like we'd had snow!
NZ weren't the only ones to blame for a boring game though. South Africa were equally disappointing, despite winning, mainly because they could easily have won it in style, not in a grinding, slow run meander. (I could hardly describe it as a run chase. That would imply a sense of urgency, of which there appeared to be none.)
Anyway - that's enough of my cricket commentary for the time being. Come back soon, CK because I just know you'll have fun telling me that "At least NZ made it to the finals..." !
