Today was a public holiday here in brisvegas! The “Ekka”, which is our exhibition, is running at the moment. The ekka has the all the usual stuff, including agricultural displays and other agricultural related “stuff”, side show alley, showbags, etc etc. I was going to go to the ekka one day with Jackson, which I wanted to start doing with him each year as a father-son thing – but with the flu “epidemic” hitting Brisbane / Sth East Qld, I (like many others) have decided to stay away this year. Jackson and will go every second year So, to the people at the Ekka – thanks for the public holiday and the chance to have a short work week. We didnt do too much today – just stuck around the house and went over to Carindale for brunch and some shopping….

I’m a fan of American Football – I started off enjoying the game itself, I enjoy the strategic side of the game, but now I more enjoy fantasy football than the game itself. Fantasy Football is defined as “A game played by football fans in which participants draft their own team and compete with teams built by others. Scoring systems vary among fantasy football leagues, but most are based on points accumulated by players based on their real-life performance in a game on the same day.” Kylie and I call it “ticks and crosses”, because of all the stats and numbers and lists which I print out to reserach. Anyways, it’s “drafting” season for fantasy football and I’m enjoying a couple of drafts now… i’ll post some updates through the year on how i’m going.

only 72 days to go until our holiday!
