Resting Day

I stayed at home today, in essence to look after Jessie, whom the doctor had said should not go to school today with her tonsil stones, but it also worked well for me with my cold. Today it really hurt my lungs each time I coughed, because I had coughed so much yesterday it had made my body sore from underuse. Ridiculous.

Having packed off the other two to the bus, I took the chance to introduce Jess to a couple of movies I felt she was now old enough to watch.
The first was The Truman Show with Jim Carrey, which she enjoyed, and I liked watching once again. The second was a classic - Monty Python and the Holy Grail. I told her I had first watched it when I was ten years old, so she should see it. Not sure she got all of it, and she was a bit taken aback when I kept quoted the lines word for word before they appeared on the screen, but I think she enjoyed it. having not watched it for probably ten years, so did I!

The Scorchers played the Hurricanes tonight in the final of BBL03, with the Scorchers deservedly winning their first competition having lost the first two finals of the revamped T20 format. I also managed to get another jump on Tom Waterhouse, having taken a multi of the Scorchers winning, and the Wanderers and Roar drawing in the A League - which they did, 1-1, paying odds of $7.50. Thanks Tom.
