We’ve started work on the apartment now. Grey/blue feature walls, new carpet and some new furniture. Rui and I aren’t overly talented DIY-type people. But I’ve oddly enjoyed painting with him.

I think we compliment each other well. He paints with the big roller, I have my baby roller and small brush. I have finesse, he has strength.

Whilst it has been disappointing that there is still no clear winner from the election….the campaign itself has been particularly useful for our house renovations. Julia Gillard bunting has helped to save our tiles from being spluttered with paint.

When calling around for quotes to carpet our little bedroom, I came to realise just how small it was. I told the guy it was roughly 4 square metres to which he told me that is the smallest bedroom in all of Australia.

I really did not like Spain. They played a dull brand of possession football. Sure the skill was there but they choked the life out of a game with low tempo side way passes until the opposition make a mistake. How many 1-0 wins is that?

I think this guy says it best:

Do Spain have the same PR people as Bill Clinton? That people dare mention them in the same breath as some of the great attacking World Cup sides in history offends me. Lowest scoring team to ever win the World Cup, and probably the dullest.

I also exchanged contracts on an apartment.
