Magpie lark

When I got up at the crack of dawn yesterday at 10am and staggered too the kitchen there was a magpie lark battling the hoards of cockroaches in the kitchen. Suprisingly enough it looked like it was winning as well, which is quite impressive considering there are a few hundred thousand roaches in the kitchen and there average size is about equivalent to a large rat.

Giselle

Went to the ballet last night at the sydney opera house to watch Giselle. It was remarkably good with very nice sets and dancing and seemed a little more acrobatic than some previous ballets that I have seen, which was nice.

Go the chiefs

A well deserved win for the chiefs on saturday.
