Right now I'm at Gemma's house preparing for New Year's Eve festivities. It will be a really fun night. There are costumes involved and a movie to be seen. We are going to see Rocky Horror Picture Show and then go to a party. I'm going as Riff Raff because as Gemma said I "have the hair for it." It's quite a nice New Year's Eve here as well. It's sunny and the temperature is around 95 degrees. Just thought I'd rub that one in a bit.
One thing I really liked about Melbourne was the city gardens. There are about half a dozen gardens in Melbourne. They are all pretty big, the biggest being the Royal Botanical Gardens. All have a lot of green space to sit back and relax and enjoy. It's nice having a place you can go to escape the city within the city itself.
Every four years during the Winter Olympics I really get into curling. I don't really know what it is about curling that fascinates me, but the fascination sits inside me and gestates for four years before showing itself. Well, I think I have found a summer equivalent to my curling fascination in cricket. Cricket is a simple game with seemingly complicated rules. It could just be that a leg of the Ashes Test, a match between Australia and England, was in Melbourne while I was there and the whole city was in a frenzy. Or it could be that cricket strikes the same nerve as curling does. I guess I'll just have to wait and see.
