So last weekend (the one before last) I played my first game of soccer in like ages! To be honest it was only indoor soccer (mheh) but still... My old flatmate talked me into it and our competition was a bunch of young people who had fine falling down in front of the ref acting skills (SKILLZ).
I swear to Bubba those little shits where hopeless (at falling down) but they did score a shit load more goals than us.
And I learnt an important truth about my fitness, my cardio is way down on where I would like it. After 7 minutes (I think) of playing I was exhausted, sweat pouring off me and energy drained.
The good news story is that my knee held up. The next couple of days my legs were sore, which I was expecting, but my knee was fine. So at least my gym work is paying off in one respect.

Super Melody
This guy is probably a one hit wonder, but what a hit (HERE).
I first heard track while stuck in traffic on the way to work this week. It just caught my attention with it's melody and retro sound.
RRR is the station to blame and thank you to the breakfast crew that I heard it again this morning and remembered to repeat the artists name 10 times so I would not forget them...

Distraction
After some consideration we went to Lake Mountain on Sunday. Lake Mountain being a cross country ski run just up from the devastated (but recovering) ruins of Marysville. It was our wee girls second time to the snow and she didn't do too bad. She didn't cope with the slope we had her on, but to be fair her boots we not a perfect fit and I think we can all claim to have had trouble on the snow the first time we walked on it.
So after a half hour or so we took her back down to the carpark and played amongst the snow there. Built a snowman threw some snowballs around and generally had a grand old time of it. I think she started to get the hang of it all on a level surface.
We're off to Perisher in August, hopefully for some good weather, so we can all experience the fun of wall to wall snow. This weekend got us thinking that perhaps we need to go somewhere decent for a ski trip. That Australia has snow at all is incredible, but for the most part the resorts are mediocre at best. We've been lucky in the past couple of years with the weather but typically there is as much mud as there is snow.
Perhaps I'm trying to justify this to myself more than to you Bubba's... So we're thinking either Japan or Canada. To be continued.
