The weekend weather was absolutely perfect. Perhaps we will get lucky and get some more nice days but typically once we get this late in October, most of the good weather is behind us.
Saturday was the last cricket match for the year (at least for me...my club is playing next weekend as well). It was a very enjoyable game but unfortunately we came up short. Batting first I thought we had scored enough runs. My dismissal was my most annoying and frustrating for the season. I was hitting the ball well and feeling comfortable when I completely mishit a pull shot straight to mid-on. We were looking good with the ball until one of their middle order scored an amazing century. I bowled OK and was keeping the runs down but he was finding enough bad balls from the other end to score at the required rate. In the end, they won with 9 balls to spare but getting out there on such a nice day made the loss relatively easy to deal with.
Sunday involved a day with the kids as Mindy was manning another henna booth. We attended our monthy "Young Humanist" meeting with some friends where the kids crafted some Buddhist mandalas and I watched, due to me still having absolutely no artistic ability whatsoever! After this, back home for a movie (for the kids) and a nap (for me), a few errands and then off to get Mindy.
The kids fell asleep quite quickly so we watched a movie - Zodiac, a movie about the serial killer who terrorized San Francisco and the surrounds in the late 60's, early 70's. I thought the movie was superb...good story, well acted and full of suspense. Even though it was quite long (2 hr 40 minutes), I did not feel it drag at all and was engrossed the whole time. Certainly one to recommend.
