We may have been the first country to qualify for the next World Cup, but if every winter is like this Austin is not going to learn a heck of a lot about football. At least not that which comes from getting out on the pitch.For the fourth-straight week rain has sunk the Lane Cove West Wednesday evening training session. And, though only half-way through our 18 game season, this weekend will be the third with a second (Sunday) game to catch up on others postponed due to water-logged pitches.
Whatever happened to the Lucky Country?
And it doesn't get much better on the home front. Sydney's rain never bothered me in the old days when I spent my time in an office. At home with a toddler, it's a very different story. All of sudden there's a bunch of things you can't do; mostly the ones that have the added benefit of exercise.
To make things worse, we now have a little boy with a head cold.
No Thursday morning playgroup for him, no Thursday morning adult interaction for me. Through the noise of rain on our tin roof, this is starting to sound like a case of cabin fever or road trip.
Because surely it can't also be raining in Mittagong. Surely.
