As usual, I down tools to attend the Test in Brisbane - as I have done for the last 30 years+. Enjoyable to spend time in the Cricketers Club, have silver service lunches, wine 🍷 and beers 🍻 flowing. There has been a group of us going to the match together - clients and friends.

I will give live updates, photos and general commentary over the next three days.

Day 1 - going with our chief bridesmaids boyfriend. Will be interesting to have an Englishman with me.
 
My wife’s best friend (our Chief Bridesmaid 22 years ago) and her boyfriend decided to have their visit to Australia to coincide with the Second test.

Met up with other English friends at The Pig n Whistle @ King George Square. Before we get on the bus to the Gabba

I hope you get to see Sid, @QF WP! Ask him about his European holiday. Due to his holiday, he couldn't work the bar at my recent birthday party, but we had the pleasure of his help at FIL's wake last week. đź’ś

As usual, the internet is đź’© inside so had to wait until we had eaten lunch to start posting.

Getting out from the crowds and the walk up the entrance.

Samantha as usual handing out our tickets recognised me, greeting me by name and welcoming me.

We were met by Molly (the new Restaurant Manager) as Jacob has moved on. She showed us to our table - a share table with another member and his guest.
