Ah, the experience of World Cup television from a timezone on the other side of the planet. The men of a nation turn into sports-mad Wee Willy Winky's, sneaking down the staircase with candlestick in hand to see the world's greatest players kick around a pig's stomach.

A surprise in the mail today. It appears that in the course of the studies for my Diploma of Financial Markets from Finsia, I achieved the highest result in 'Regulation and Ethics' for Queensland in 2005. Nice! I've been invited to the awards ceremony at Brisbane's Customs House but unfortunately, since we are now in Sydney I am unlike to make it. Oh well, its another certificate to hang in the drawing room...
