20/20 is more hit and giggle than serious cricket but ODI's are more to my liking, I remember Michael Beven was a great ODI cricketer particularly if Australia was in trouble

Brad Hodge was the unluckiest man to play cricket in Australia, could never understand how he wasn't in test and ODI teams for Australia more than he was so good and still is good in many forms of the game.

Hi ya everybodies! How are you all holding up in this ridiculous weather? I'd like to see the sun before I leave for Germany. It's been out a bit more today, though that means it's steaming up the air.

[trekzone]

Hiya pauline. I'm struggling, but ok!! Hey, while you're waiting for the sun....check out episode 2 of Eternal Night at TREKZONE.org!

[Elf]

I heard on the news that there is a lot of rain in Brisbane and the Gold Coast and more rain to come. Stay safe and dry.

[Aussie Trekkie]

It's been a funny week I reckon, heaps of rain, a Minister copying from a movie, QLD Election date set without anybody really noticing, Ponting saving his test career, the PM and Opposition Leader surrounded by a mob, protesters giving Gillard's shoe back after putting it first on eBay and then they burn the flag.

I'm surprised that protesters managed to get within 50 metres of Gillard and Abbott really.

A quick pop in the say a quick cheerio to you all! Heading off the Germany this morning. I is very, very nervous!

It would have been nice to see some blue sky before I left, but alas, that doesn't look like it's going to happen. Maybe by the time I get back, in 3 weeks, we'll have some nicer weather.

Anyhoo, I'll catch you all soon!

[Bill]

Safe travels, Pauline!

[trekzone]

safe travels pauline!!! Have a blast...

[Elf]

Save travels Pauline.

The QLD election date got a mention here, as did the mob that surrounded the Prime Minister and the Opposition Leader.

[mlaz]

have fun pauline, save travels.

[paulinem]

Ooo... you know the one good thing about being in freezing Germany? No election BS!

And, thanks for all the good wishes. Arrived safely albeit a bit worse for ware. It's taken a few days to find my legs again. Having a lovely time. Here's a shot of us at a vineyard yesterday.



From the left is baby girl's boyfriend's Grandma, then my sister, then baby girl, then me. Get this, guys, it was minus 5!!! Add the wind chill and you have... A numb face!

Anyways, I've got to get a move on. I'll try and keep everyone updated.

Catch you all soon!

[trekzone]

Hmm... is there enough snow!?



This place is covered in it! Apparently it's meant to snow later this week, so here's hoping we actually get to see the snow falling!

[mlaz]

that so does not look like enough snow to make a decent snowman.
Just keep bundeld you pauline as it still is way to cold for an queenslander.

[Aussie Trekkie]

We're finally getting afternoon storms, took two and a quarter months haha to get the hot mornings and cool afternoons.

I wonder what Autumn will bring?

[Elf]

Well...I just saw a election add of sorts on tv and we are not due for a state election until 2013.

Yes, it has been very cold, but for some unknown reason I seem to be coping better than I thought I would. I'm having a lovely time. Weather permitting, we're hoping to go to Austria next week. Can't wait!

Yeah, I heard there was a storm, but BIL said they didn't get much on his side of town.

YAY for me! I don't need to suffer through all those election ads at the moment! Perfect timing!

Ooo... had my first play in the snow yesterday! First time that I've seen actual snow falling!



Twas fun!

[mlaz]

looks like you have fun there, snow is an amazing thing, I do like it as long as I can get back into warmth real quick.
hope your schoulder doesnt get worse. Austria, such a different kinda place from Brisbane...

[paulinem]

Hi ya all!

Oh, the snow we saw yesterday has such a beautiful feel to it! Just amazing! Yeah, the trip to Austria has been cancelled due to said snow. Apparently they have closed the airports. Oh, well, we're catching the train to Munich instead, which will also be fun. Can't wait!

Thanks, mlaz, that shoulder healed quicker than I thought it would, so at least there's that.

or those back home, this is where we went yesterday...



The alps to visit a castle.

I also got to do this..





Hope everyone is doing well!? Catch ya soon.
