Long time no see

I'm going to be brief in this blog for entry for two reasons, both of which explain the other.

1.) I haven't got anything to write about, and
2.) I'm sick.

Because I've been down with a bad cold since Wednesday, the last few days have basically consisted of me coughing and sneezing, getting through two days of work while trying to prevent the fever behind my eyeballs consuming my retinas, and now lying in bed for pretty much the entire weekend reading and sleeping.

In fact, I'd go so far as to say this has probably been the week I've enjoyed least in my time over here. A combination of being sick, which always guarantees to bring your spirits down, along with a bout of homesickness, what with the grand finals happening back home, the beginning of six months of cold weather here, the knowledge I'm going to miss seeing the Ashes etc etc.

Well, I shouldn't mope too much. Apart from this week things have been pretty good, so that's what I need to focus on.

Sorry for being miserable, but I needed to get this off my chest.
