The NRL goes into a weekend hiatus to accomodate the second State of Origin game on Sunday night.
How conditions will be in both QLD or NSW for the resumption is anybody’s guess.
It’s always nice to think Queensland could win, but short of the NSW squad having to go in isolation I don’t know how that could happen.
The AFL resumes pretty much normal conditions.

One thing the TV version of Miss Fisher cannot include is the arch narrative voice of author Kerry Greenwood:
‘What is wrong with them?’ asked the doctor, who had tired of Miss Gately’s company some time before she met her.

Holiday Reading #1

Clearing my head on holidays is usually helped by reading: fiction, biography, history.

This Phryne Fisher collection by Kerry Greenwood is a good start. I first encountered this character through an early morning ABC radio book reading I used to listen to while walking the streets at early hours. It was only after that that I watched the ABC’s Miss Fisher’s Murder Mysteries. So, back to the books. (It’s probably good all the kids were born before all of this. Any of the girls could have made a very cool Phryne)
