[23:39] TMI!
It's your own fault if you find out more than you wanted to know. You were warned!
My new underwear finally turned up today! It's been a long time coming (too long some might say). I worked out a couple of months ago that the last time I purchased underwear was approximately 15 years ago, I worked this out as my current underwear disintegrated in my hands coming out of the wash. So begun the search for briefs in America. Turns out that briefs or "tighty-whiteys" as they're known here aren't so popular and anything actually labelled as "briefs" tends to be something more along the lines of what I'd call a muumuu. I don't know why I never bothered to check the internet, just this evening I found Dugg, but I didn't and we ended up guessing the appropriate size by deciphering the frayed and faded labels and asking a friend of Shona's to head down to Target and pick up some budgie smugglers.
She did (thanks Kyles!) and dutifully sent most of them over to us (apart from the ones her dog ate the crotch out of). They got here, there was excitement...and then I tried them on. Seems I've grown a little over the last 15 years. Target (in Australia anyway) has a pretty good returns policy so we sent them back to Australia with Andrew and Sarah to go back to Kylie to go back to Target to get exchanged. Andrew and Sarah had already flown the coop so the well-travelled grundies hit the post up to the parents of the next batch of holidaying Mountain View Aussies who dragged 'em back over to the USA and delivered them to us today. My opinion:

[21:40] Victory...nearly
A bit of a turn up for the record books: I actually won the first whole game today, 11-9! Of course I went on to lose the next three 9-3, 9-0, 9-1 but that's not the point. We really need to find somwhere a little cheaper but it doesn't look like squash is a big thing in Silicon Valley so we might be stuck with constantly getting rorted. At least it's good fun and good exercise.

[22:14] Squashed. Again.
We just played the second round of the Greatest Squash Player in the Universe Grandslam Epic Battle for Greatness. I lost 5-0 again although I did manage to actually score 5 points this time!

[20:49] Squash...ed
James and I have been intending to play squash for some considerable time now and we finally got our respective rear-ends in gear today and had the first game in the "Greatest Squash Player in the History of the Multiverse" series.
As was witnessed by the 5-0 scorecard at the end of our 50 minutes, squash is not a sport in which I excel! I've played the odd game back at the ANU about 10 years ago and I was quite capable of holding my own in our homemade squash court back in ye olden days but I think James is just a smidge better at it than I. Possibly I scored a point, perhaps even two. For the rematch I hope to actually hit the ball, possibly even in the direction I intended and, time permitting, I'm going to read the rules and have some vague idea of where the ball should be going anyway.
