Armchair sport
Sue and I had a late night watching the thrilling 5-set match between Andy Murray and Rafael Nadal at the Australian Tennis Open. Taking place in Melbourne, there are afternoon and evening sessions, so this match didn't start until 10pm and at nearly 4 hours long, meant a 2am bedtime as we couldn't leave it in the balance! Both played some fantastic shots and the game was swinging either way until Murray seemed to fade away and lose it in the 5th set.

Earlier in the day I had been for a meeting with another potential client in Sydney - which is likely to result in some regular work - and then set aside a few hours in the afternoon to watch the rerun of the Arsenal v ManU match (particularly as I had seen the favourable result of 2-1, which made it all the more enjoyable!).

There are 3 or 4 live Premiership games shown here (on cable) each weekend, although this usually means they are on in the early hours of the morning, but they are often shown again during the day (and there's always the video), plus there's a highlights show of all the games shown here on Monday evenings. The small Australian 'soccer' league is of a pretty poor standard (with ex-England 'hard man' Terry Butcher as the under-pressure manager of Sydney FC), so it's good to get a fix of English football every week!
