On this Week
Dog Attack
I have been looking after some dogs that have been badly treated and some who could easily over power me.
State of Emergency
Coronaviruses are a large family of viruses that cause respiratory infections. These can range from the common cold to more serious diseases.
Labour Day
Melbourne celebrates Labour Day with a public holiday on the second Monday of March every year and in 2019 it falls on Monday 11th March giving us a long weekend.
The Specials
England’s legendary ska band The Specials performed at Zoo Twilights for a closing night party under the stars in support of Zoos Victoria’s fight against wildlife extinction.
MVFC
I went to my first Melbourne Victory game against Perth Glory last night at AAMI Park which is a thirty thousand capacity stadium built for the football. We used to play at the Etihad Stadium which has a capacity of fifty three thousand seats but it was always empty so lacked any atmosphere. The seats are close to the pitch and reminded me of going to QPR where you can practically touch the players.
Jerk Chicken
I have left rainy Manchester for sunny Montego Bay in Jamaica where I am enjoying the warm weather and amazing beaches with white sand and crystal clear water. I am staying at an all inclusive resort which basically means I can eat and drink as much I want.
Packing Up
I have just woken up to a beautiful day with hot air balloons floating past my balcony, it happens every weekend as they land just opposite my flat, I can not get them all in one shot but believe me there are loads. I noticed a few weeks ago someone had put up a silver pole which ruins my view. The weather is predicted to hit 29 today so looks like it is another beach day yeah and Monday is a pubic holiday as it is FA cup weekend :)
Fruit Explosion
This week the weather has been getting hotter by the day climaxing today, Sunday at 37 Celsius this to Europeans is 99 Fahrenheit. I decided this morning I would try and get myself a bit healthier. I skipped the market as I did not fancy getting fruit that had been sat outside all day in this heat and instead headed to the supermarket and look at what I got. Banana, Melon, Grapefruit, Avocado, Tomato, Carrot, Coconut, Strawberries, Leek, Potatoe and Asparagus, what an exhilarating selection of fruit and veg to go along side the meat I purchased yesterday. I am having Beef Wellington for dinner on Monday :)
Commonwealth Games Open
Quick update before I go to bed, the games are open and the fish sprung to life, best bit was when the guy walked on the yarra river on a hidden walkway.
