What Ive been up to over the past 2 weeks

Wednesday 5th July – QUEENSLAND won SOO III !!!

  • Met friend from Brisbane, Belinda & her sister Aime at the hotel had few pre-game drinks SOO 3 game was awesome. Queensland won 16-14. Kingy scored try for NSW (well done)
  • Seats were absolutely fantastic – thanks to Katy for organising them. Crowd was 54,833.
  • After the game went out to the “Club Odeon” at Crown, with Belinda & Aime which was lots of fun but only arrived back at the hotel at 4am having only the last drink just before leaving the club. Had one and a half hours sleep.

Thursday 6th July

  • At work it seemed like a very long day as very tired from night before and didn’t feel too crash hot. It was home straight after work and early to bed.

Friday 7th July

  • Worked & then met Belinda & Aime at the hotel.
  • Storm Broncos game. Storm won 10-4. It was a very good game although the outcome wasn't really what we wanted. Kingy got players player for the match. Buster had a pretty ordinary game and was pretty bummed after the game.
  • After the game headed around to try to find Lockyer as Belinda wanted her jersey signed. He managed to sneak onto the bus. Caught up with Suzie & her mum from Sydney. Was good to have a quick chat with them.
  • Headed over to the Melbourne Storm social club. Belinda had her photo with Jake & also Billy and I had a photo with Matt King. Belinda thought it was not very good of me to have a photo with my Qld jersey on and as a Broncos supporter (he plays for NSW & Melbourne Storm).
  • Went back to the hotel and talked with Belinda until about 2.30pm. They just didn't feel like going out.

Saturday 8th July

  • Slept in.
  • Met Belinda & Aime and headed off to the Melbourne Aquarium. It was quite good and very relaxing. The last time I went in March 2004 and I didn’t really remember a lot of it… mainly only the greater deep. Both of our cameras’ batteries died but I managed to get a bit more use out of mine. (Spare battery was in my bag in the hotel.. doh!). The frozen giant squid was quite eerie and my favs were probably the sea orchards & the jellyfish.
  • After going to the Aquarium we headed off to the Observation Deck at the Rialto Towers in the city. Its quite a good view of the city from up there. Had we waited maybe about 10-15minutes more we would have got the night view as well.

Sunday 9th July

  • Slept all day as not well

Monday 10th – Sunday 16th

  • Worked Monday, Tuesday, Thursday & Friday with sick day on Wednesday and early to bed each night to stay out of the cold air, as per doctors orders.
