Bright idea maybe

I made a jumper but it didn't fit anyone properly so I undid it but the the wool gets crinkles and doesn't knit up well so I was thinking how to straighten it out without washing it all I thought I could wind it around the ironing board and iron it under a damp cloth and then pull it round until the whole lot is covered.
I'm watching the last game of the NBA finals, I really love San Antonio but the previous game I couldn't believe how they lost in overtime, you get a bit suspicious about some games in all sports and about drugs. The rugby league players just unbelievably built up at young ages. The bike riders are still getting riders chucked off teams for drug use.

About to go out

And I really don't want to. To a trivia night. It's windy and cold and I was really looking forward to veging out. A friend asked before and I said ok because it was off in the never never. Oh well. I've really socialised enough this week. Three days of golf and lunch with the golfers and golf meeting. No winning but a lot of laughs at our terrible shots. I just want to stay home and knit socks, such a granny (I wish), through actually I've never much been a going out person. I like to see something like a play or a movie but australian clubs and pubs have always been like sitting in a tiled toilet. Literally they were all tiled, I guess to wash the blood off. One of the first times I went to a pub boys were having a spitting contest up the wall.
Aussie pubs were very men places and men culture, drinking fighting, women go there now but sometimes just not very far under the surface is all the nasty stuff. Now the women do the fighting as well and the drinking. They do this thing glassing people which is putting a broken glass into someone's face. One girl did it to another a couple of years ago.
We won the trivia, with me as table leader! I must have been channelling my husband, he is really good at that stuff but he was at work.
It's cold now but we still like to have coffee at the beach.

Trying to rain day, queens birthday holiday

It's kind of crazy that we still have a holiday for the queens birthday but also crazy we still have a queen. Mostly my generation (the talking bout my generation) generation think we should have nicely said farewell to all that but our children love it all and look with horror at the idea of loosing their gossip magazine relationship with the royals. So republicanism doesn't get much interest and maybe better the devil you know than some party appointed hack, better they ship that lot off as ambassadors to embarrass us far away.
We stayed on the weekend at the eldest's place and went out to dinner with them at local hotel restaurant, lovely meal and weirdly cheap, they take 20 % off the bill if you are a member of their club. On Sunday they went off to a wedding and we went to look at the Japanese garden and cafe at the local arts centre. They had a group ofmodern art lighting pieces. I don't know what to call that kind of art but it was interesting. The Japanese garden was small but very lovely and the pool was full of beautiful carp and the cafe was very good. A lovely afternoon.
