The Ashes come to Adelaide

Wow what a weekend that was. Friday had to work at the office, but made sure of lots of cups of tea as the kitchen is right by the Telly.

Saturday was the steaming hot day over 37c so watched the game on Telly and jumped in the pool at the breaks. Sunday I took Jamie to the Oval and we had a great time. He bumped into one of his school friends Arthur and I hung out with his English parents Bruce and Michele right in front of the historic scoreboard. We were also right in amongst the barmy army as you can see from the attached pics. Of course we missed the final session as the sky opened and the rain came.

Monday I was invited through work and we saw the England team grab 3 wickets in the day and field superbly all day. Then to get a wicket with Pietersen's last ball of the day was magnificent. Of course we hung around for the hour of lost play to rain. You could sense some history was in the making. By the way the new stand is really fantastic. Really tempting me to invest in one of the members season tickets, although I hear there is a wait list of several years.

A momentous week

On Monday debi and I headed off to the Gold coast for the launch seminar of our new franchise. We had to arrange for a lovely young lady to stay in our house to watch over Georgia and Jamie and take Charlie for his walks. We arrived in the Palazzo Versace Hotel (incidentally classed as one of Australia's finest)just in time for the welcome drinks. Call it perfect planning...

We met a few of our co franchisee's (Area Managers) over drinks and then dinner in a nearby restaurant. Everyone was very excited and looking forward to the product launch the next day.

A full day of presentations followed, ending in the announcement of 2BMW's to be won as part of an initial incentive. Certainly got Debi's eyes open and attention. What is the product I hear you ask. Well I guess for a full explanation it's better to refer you to this site where you can find out all about it. www.sensaslim.com.au


So Debi and I returned from the trip quite excited and with a can of the Sensaslim solution each to try for ourselves and see if it can live up to all the hype. I have never ever tried any form of diet so it will be interesting to see how I go with it.
