Spin you partner round and round...

Well, its been an interesting week in football and a unimpressive week in the life of the project. Football first.

Brazil, gone. Argentina (my pick), gone. Germany, gone. Never let it be said that the World Cup doesn't provide some surprises. A final between Italy, who could barely muster enough aid from the referee to overcome relative minnows like Australia, and a superannuated France. At least I get to see Henry play in an other WC final. It hasn't been the most spectacular of tournaments, there have been some good games and some very good goals - Maxi Rodrigez etched himself a corner in World Cup history with his strike - but there have been just as many slow, uneventful games. Looking at the number of knock out matches that went to penalties tells you a lot.

That said, I've still enjoyed it a great deal. My sleep has suffered a bit, but then thats to be expected and I certainly would have had more difficulty if I had been trying to watch the matches from Oz. And I hope that with the A-Leagure season approaching, the shine of the Cup can rub off, the ground attendances around the country will grow and build a strong enough competition that we'll have a chance to go to South Africa for the next roll of the dice.

Now the job. I know, you're sick of hearing me complain about it. Which is fair enough. Lets just say that nothing has changed, it's a dancing instructor who is teaching the tango: "Slow, slow, quick, quick, slow". Except the quick part is more like "less slow". And the the instructor lies to you about your progress. Despite the fact that you're on your arse in the middle of the dance floor.

So instead, some new photos:
