Rum & Dal

Its Sunday morning and Dal and I are a bit worse for wear. Well what do you expect? We went on a bender the night before. The occasion? Was there one? We just need an excuse these days. Oh yeah… we went to Kate’s birthday bash, her Hen night and Gerald’s Stag. These two love birds are getting hitched sometime soon. However the guest of honour was James, Gerald’s best friend from London. Many jokes were told, piss was taken out of others and pints went down smooth in the 35°C heat. Plenty of fun was to be had and it felt like we were home with our British/English friends and mostly the British sense of humour was on form.  Sitting in the Riverland pub on the edge of the Yaara River

Grand Prix morning, Dal and I met up with G and James, at the Transport pub at Federation Square… but where else. It’s about two in the afternoon and the sun is steaming and baking us in 41°C  this is one of those times you wish you brought a spare pair of undies. The crack of my ass was steaming.

It’s Friday 1st February 2008 and we are all exited to see the twenty 20 cricket match between India and Australia.  It’s mine and Dals first cricket match, and as cricket is so boring we thought the 20/20 would be a good introduction to the sport.

Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) is an awesome venue and the game was sponsored by KFC.  The KFC aroma surrounded the ground and it felt like we were sitting inside a family bucket.  Not much fun if your a vegetarian but it was about as fun as the game got.  The seating was mixed, so Ozzies and Indians weren’t segregated like they are for football matches.  I think it would have been more of a buzz if all the Indian supporters sat together.

A huge well done to Bal for completing a 10k run at Weston Park in aid of Cancer Research.  I am sure I speak for all of the unfit couchers in the family, in saying we are very proud of you.  This is a superb personal achievement and so I had to write a blog on it, congratulations

If you could kindly give us your account of the day… all I know is that Amy, Pav, Amrun and Ranbir were there to support you.  Tell us how many runners were there and where you finished. How much you raised and how much was raised in total by the other runners. What did you do to prepare (if anything, as we all know you are super fit anyway)!   Please sponsor Bal, if you haven’t already, http://www.10ksponsorme.org/baldishdhillon.

Also, Ranbir let me know that there are additional pictures to those of her Flickr at the following location www.peakeventphotos.com, these weren’t added last time I checked.  Enjoy these when you guys get a chance.  Once again, well done.
