The rainbow landing on a chimney duck spotted from the loungeroom window this afternoon should have been a Sign that we going to be successful in the grand final ticket ballot.

As it was, there was rather a bit of agony as the tickets were doled out over a very slow 5 hours (and are still being allocated). 

The only way to find out if you were successful was to wait for a charge on your credit card – official advice tomorrow, but who can wait? – there would have been an awful lot of people repeatedly hitting refresh on an awful lot of bank sites this afternoon.

Exciting! And very exciting to have another small trip!
