blamebramptonIt has been unseasonably cool in Sydney today, and may dip as low as 15 tonight (minima at this time of year are usually over 20, often over 25). Having found myself chilled by the breeze blowing through the house, I broke out the Muppet blanket that lives on the sofa over winter (it looks like a skinned Muppet, I'm afraid) and was wrapped in it to watch the saddest cricket in the world this afternoon*.
The blanket is now in a bundle beside me, with a Monster cat curled up on it. She is ecstatic, as the Muppet is her favourite blanky, having both softness and texture. She is half asleep, but still cheerfully purring even as she beings to snore.
She's snurring!
* Obviously I am thrilled that England are about to win the Ashes in Australia, but no one likes to see their once-great opponent do so badly, and especially no one likes to see a team tear itself up with bile and bitterness. The Australian commentators are even embarrassed and spent the day notably not talking about Ricky Ponting, but rather what a good leader of men Andrew Strauss (the England Captain) is.

Date: 2010-12-28 10:14 pm (UTC)Kai and Loki have embraced the fact that I adjusted the thermostat on the bathroom floor so it is heating up again at night. I just have to remember not to walk on them in the dark. I am LOVING the cooler weather (and NOT looking forward to the 38 they are predicting for New Year's Eve - bah!)
WTF is going on with the cricket? I mean, they aren't doing anything to dispel the rumours about match-fixing in the second test. Sheesh!
Also, am I the only person ashamed that the Aussies claimed they could only win if they were allowed to sledge the opposition? Seriously? *headdesk*
Frankly, it does Australia good to lose at sport, because as a nation we're such obnoxious bastards about our entitlement to be the best at anything sporting.
C'mon, England, C'mon, C'mon, I say!
*sends you and Monster giant smooches*
