A Cold And Rainy New Year

Well, it's still pretty warm, but the sideways rain and enormous gusts of wind have been the case for the last couple of days. Weather warnings and what not prevail. Oh well. We're still seeing fireworks tonight.

For tonight we're going to Tropical Fruits, Lismore's version of a gay New Year's Eve party. Have a gander at the flyer:

People were camping yesterday. It was raining.

In other news, Australia creamed India in four days. It didn't take the five. There were some excuses on the Indian side, of course: A lack of preparation caused by a washed-out match earlier in their stay meant they couldn't acclimatize themselves. Pshah.

It turns out this test stuff comes in a series. Australia's up 1-0. Next test is this week in Sydney. I have a hankering to see if I can hit a cricket bowl with a cricket bat. I asked Meredith if there were cricket cages. She said yes. Stay tuned.
