What colour is the sky in your world?

First of all, I'm not going to even attempt to defend Utd's loss last night. They were comprehensively beaten by a far superior side. Kaka was, yet again, inspiring. Now, we should all move on and focus on the double and ensuring that Chelski get nothing this year.

It's been particularly slow in work these last few days. In fact, mind numbingly boring is a better description. I think the guys are reluctant to have me start anything new before I go and so I'm wrapping up a few loose ends and doing the odd scrap of work. Still, only one week to go, but at this rate that could reduce to a couple of days.

I have been useful with my time. Been hunting the net for houses to live in and have arranged a couple of viewings. Saw one last night which was pretty good. Excellent layout and location, room's slightly on the small side but still enough room for my clobber. Talk of putting a pool table in the house, along with the 50" plasma, foxtel and 360 means I probably wouldn't venture out too much! Although if I did, Subi, Leederville and the city are on the doorstep with a whopping great big park only a couple of hundred metres away. The Subi Oval (where the super 14s games have been played) is only a 10 minute walk and the local is JB o'Rilley's which serves possibly the 2nd best pint of Guinness in Perth. Very tempting indeed. I'd be sharing with 3 blokes: a Saffer (who appears normal and not like most), a Swede and an Irishman. Got to decide this weekend but think I'll take it and I'll be moving in week Saturday. Nothing like a house move the weekend before a new job! Smacks of last year when I moved to London...

There's been a few birthdays that I should acknowledge that have happened over the last month. Liz/Gizmo/JBPN's was on the 8th (or is it the 6th??), Monks' was on the 23rd to coincide with some Roman's day of death, my bro's on Tuesday and my cousing Gav's today. In case I don't put out another post beforehand, happy birthday to Rudman as well on the 10th!

This weekend is going to be busy - 2 birthdays (Gav's & Nikkita's) and 2 sporting events (Force v Blues & West Coast Eagles v Western Bulldogs in the Aussie rules). Sunday may involve a lot of sitting!

All you girlies need to check out my cousin Nicola/Liquorice's website (www.peachiekeen.co.uk) and anyone else who fancies buying some funky pants! Seriously, go, buy, be happy!! I'm not joking... For the love of God, go and buy pants!!!!

Later kids...
