Got out of hospital on Friday and wasn't home two hours when a friend turned up with a new larger monitor for my computer. Free. He thought the old one was bad for my eyes. Arranged for a computer whiz mate of his to come and see me on Sunday, but more of that later. Up all night checking out Amazon. Finally bought a $212 book (incl postage) British primary source, 2 vols,on life in Connecticut, New York etc. Saturday spent the day catching up on e-mails, blogs etc. Settled down for a quiet night's TV.No chance. Half way through the Bill, two of my Aboriginal women neighbours were banging on my door and window, 1. escaping a domestic 2. hiding from the cops. 3 something else I didn't quite get. They'd stayed sitting in the dark with the curtains drawn for about half an hour, pretty drunk, and drinking Bundy and Coke. I still don't know what it was all about. But wait, there's more. The weekend's only half way through. Sunday morning computer whiz turns up. Seems he's been one of my neighbours a few flats up for years. Cleaned my computer, installed new security systems, defragged, put in a firewall, etc. Later in the day, a very drunk Aboriginal woman friend turned up, wanting to make a phone call. I laid down the law how I don't like drunk people in my house on case they spill grog on my books, told her to get out and come back when she was sober. But more is yet to come. Early Sunday night come down with severe gastro-enteritis all night and Monday morning. Put myself in hospital this morning, but by about now was starting to finally feel better, so caught a cab home. Believe me, these last few winter bugs in Armidale are killers.

However, I will never ever forget the sight of Alexander Downer in drag 'molesting' my wife in front of a packed theatre. I got a bit of a feel as well, but Alex is obviously more of a hetro guy! That'll teach us to get front row seats. Went to see Keating The Musical for the second time, but was slightly disappointed that the ‘alternate performer’ was playing Keating.

Couldn't find it (ho did see it at end of afternoon. Still some nice walking, wattle in full bloom, plenty other flowers blooming and heard kookaburras! Relaxed with bottle LaChouffe (spiced Belg Ale) and cooked a roast leg of pork, yummie it was, with plenty pear butter on it.

Phew! Took dogs and boy to Dog Obedience (why aren't there boy obedience classes?), mowed the lawn, blogged some, failed to do the complete house clean that I always tell myself I'll do. Now the embarassing first auditions of OIDOL are on! Long boring pub lunch with in-laws cancelled. Phew!

Wests won 38-30 after being behind 24-8 at half time. Son-in-law scored 2 very good tries. Grandson not very impressed and granddaughter slept through most of the game. Daughter was hoping it would be hubby's last game but the win means he'll put on the boots at least one more time.

He played like a bag full of gold medalists. One of the best. Didn't get to see him on the ABC News because it was from Sydney. Hope that's not a regular feature of Sunday.
