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.
