Here comes the sun!

Well what a great way to end winter, a perfect spring day in Sydney.
I cannot wait for the hot nights, cold cocktails,bikini's and bright fashion heading our way!

A few issues on my mind:

1. Andrew Johns drug scandal: I was in disbelief when I saw the front page of The Daily Telegraph, when the football great admitted to taking drugs including ecstasy through out his successful career. What do you think should happen?
I personally believe this will could be the end of his post football career depending on the way he handles the situation. He could follow the celeb trend and go to 'rehab' or walk away from his TV deals.
For some one to admit drug taking is brave but now is he a good role model for boys growing up wanting to follow in his footsteps? I think not.
And what about the NRL? What happened to regular drug testing of footballers. For Johns to admit drug taking through out his career means there is obviously something wrong with their system. The NRL needs to impend heavier rules on footballers. This season there have been several players involved in rape allegations,drink-driving charges and now drugs.
Can anyone stop them?

2.Spring Carnival Cancelled: Picture this. I was at the gym, working up a sweat on the bike machine, listening to the 6pm Channel 7 news when it came across that NSW Spring Racing Carnival is cancelled. My heart literally sank out of my chest. Why? you may ask? I had planned to go to Spring Carnival for my birthday celebrations. I really do feel for the industry because there will be jobs gone and millions of dollars lost. This is a popular time for the horse racing industry. I only hope that all horses suffering for the EI (the horse flu) make a full recovery. For punters, there is always the greyhounds.

3. People U-turning in unnappropriate places: This is one topic that gets under my skin. Every morning and afternoon at my train station I see multiple cars U-Turn in a dangerous manner nearly knocking down pedestrians. I really do not understand why they can not travel less than a kilometre down the road where there is a more appropriate place. Drivers smarten up your act before someone gets hurt!

Everyone have a great weekend and next time I write it will be in Spring! Yay!
