Lazy Day Again....and No Footy Channel!!! Had a storm during the night, the first time we have had any rain, although it was not much. This morning was overcast but calm.

We have not bothered with the TV at all since we arrived, but as the footy is on today I had a look to see if the cable has Australia Network. Well it has everything but! German, Russian, Arab, US, Chinese but no Oz! Can'...
