Double-dating with my dad (well, 1 1/2 dating)
So, yesterday was the big cricket match of the season in Wellington. Of course, I'd been planning to go for ages, but I wasn't planning on booking in advance (it wasn't going to sell out). On Thursday, my dad rings me up, and offers me a ticket. Cool, I hadn't confirmed that any of my friends were going, so this is good. He explains that 'there's this woman who's keen on me, who wants me to take her, but I'm not interested in anything serious, which is what she wants, so I don't want to go with her, and now I can tell her that I'd arranged to go with you'.

Cool.

So I turn up to meet him outside, we go to our seats - and this woman is there! I'm not quite sure how, but she got a ticket through him as well. So for the whole, long day, there's me, and my dad, and some 50-60 year-old who's trying to get in his pants. It's honestly not a pretty sight. (She's fine as a person, it's just the whole dynamics of the situation).

The game was absolutely fantastic though. High-scoring, lots of twists, incredible drama. One of the best I've seen in a long time.
