Belated Merry Christmas Everyone!!

Oh my crumbs..... Wow at last I can write my blog.... I'm using a different computer at the moment because my other computer has practically run out of memory and I'm in the middle of trying to put a lot of the things on a back-up drive device. I'd also forgotten my password and other stuff. I've still got photo's on my camera from the beginning of December 2012 and lost my spare set of batteries. So in short I've been having computer troubles where I'm still learning to sort it out. I'm not a real tech head and just got my very first computer which is connected to the Internet just about two or three years ago.... I'm sorry i can't have any photo's on this blog post yet I can't because I've got no access to them....
Soooooooooo I'm wishing you you all a very belated and very Merry Christmas wherever you are!!! How was for everyone out there? With mine I went up to my parents place where my brother and his girlfriend came up on Christmas day. On Christmas Eve I decorated the modern Christmas tree with my Mum and that brought back memories of my childhood. It also rained and poured while I wrapped my presents on Christmas eve as well watching channel 9's 'Carol's By Candlelight'. Christmas day was no ordinary summer day but it rained, rained, poured and rained some more with a few brief windy patches. Instead of nice shorts, sandals an a shirt I wore a jacket, jeans, some waistcoat vest thing and sand-shoes. With our family we still endured the cold weather and ate outside with a few very soggy birds as visitors throughout the day. In the afternoon we all went to my Uncle and Aunts place and caught up with some other family members which was great. My Dad was showing of this extremely new strong torch that he got for Christmas with some special bulb or lighting device to his brother. My brother and his girlfriend were there also seeing people for the first time in quite a while which was good.
So amongst all the food that Mum made and I helped out quite a bit... as well as the presents which this year I went overboard for buying for everyone... It was a very nice special family Christmas with Rachel my brothers girlfriends first Christmas with us.... Because last year they were both in the town of Bethlehem, the one in America and not Israel which is really appropriate for Christmas...My Mum even got a belated present from them both last year which was 'The Star Of Bethlehem'. Which was really nice of them both to give to her.
Christmas day went of without a hitch yet boxing day was a way different story where something happened..... I'll tell you about it in my next blog post coming soon.....
Until then I hope everyone had a very happy and safe Christmas....

Soccer Madness Still....

The word cup is still on and Australia has been knocked out of the game. Also there are other sad losses for other countries who have been snuffed out also. So in the next couple of weeks the matches are becoming more important as to who will win the much sought after World Cup.

We've seen great nations rise to occaison while others have fought valiantly to the end seconds of the game. All the games have been individual in their own right and some have torn at the fans heartstrings like England goal which was deemed a non goal. Also other decisions which the umpires of the games have made in other circumstances.

Yet I'm sure that there are families, friends, workmates, partners that have still lost people to watching the games at all hours of the night and also day in some cases. Even I was really wrapped up in the games that Australia was playing. I found myself being awake at odd hours watching the games alone with a heater on in a really cold room. Secretly wishing I was snuggled up in bed keeping warm. Yet these damn games were getting my patriotic blood going. Go the Socceroo's!! May they win!!

I didn't see all of the last game that Australia played because i was asleep in bed. Yet i did watch the last 20 mins of the game which was lucky I thought. I was staying over somewhere and we awoke at 6am. Anyhow I thought Australia did really well and still managed to beat Serbia I think? ...Although Serbia did rally and score a goal or two. As soon as the game finished I turned the TV off even without hearing the commentator's speak. I went straight back to bed because I had to be fair on where I was staying.

So all that day until the news that night I thought Australia had won and was still in with a chance for the cup. It wasn't until we were watching the news that night I realized because of the confusing ways of counting up the points and so forth that Australia had actually lost at their chance for the cup. Even though they won by a point or two on the field that it wasn't enough to keep them in the game.

Anyway I still am interested in who is going to win the World Cup and I'm a bit sure that I might stay up and see one or two of the games. Because I still like soccer and the matches only happen every four years like the Olympics. So you might get another posting on who actually wins the Worlds Cup... You have to wait and see..... Farewell for now..
