Cool! I’m sitting here watching the cycle road race at the Olympics and the cyclists are going through a place called Badaling just outside of Beijing. That’s where I visited the Great Wall of China in ‘91. I even recognosed the carpark after all these years 
I’ve finished (at last) reading James F. Hamilton’s Night’s Dawn trilogy all in one go. Six volumes each at more than 600 pages in paperback form! Naturally I read it on my Sony Reader and what a great read it was!
It was a strange series mixing sci-fi with a lot of afterlife/spiritual threads mixed in. The 3600 odd pages flew past and the the ending drew all the different story lines together brilliantly.
The mighty Phoenix reached the first cup final in their short history and last night played the Melbourne Victory, last years league winners, in the pre-season cup final.
9,208 people watched the two teams have their chances in regulation time but no-one could break the nil all deadlock. After 90 minutes it all came down to a penalty shootout.
The Phoenix lost 8-7 after about 15 minutes of agonising shots from the spot…….
A great but ultimately disappointing night.
Here’s Vic and Emma during the shootout!
It’ll confuse a lot of people…. Very funny though!
I thought I’d search for myself (as you do) in the newest search engine in town - cuil (pronounced cool). Disappointingly I was on about page 12 but it linked to a couple of pics I haven’t seen in a while
