I don't think that I'm going to sleep for the next six weeks.
ABC TV and Radio is having a Blues Festival, including the Martin Scorsese collection of seven films. I saw about half of these at Electric Shadows last year. What I saw was excellent, and I'm looking forward to catching up the ones I missed and revisiting the others.
However, it is the sport on SBS which is really going to cut. With the Tour de France being shown live, and the Ashes, there aren't going to be enough hours in the day.

Well, I'm afraid you can keep the cricket to yourself Miss F.Duck, but how fantastic is it about the Tour? - and you've provided me with the entire schedule!!! How are your picks looking for Dave's Tour comp?
A gal after my own heart! I have rolled out the sofa bed in the loungeroom (in front of the TV) so that I can watch all these sporting events in comfort (and without having to move very far if I want to sleep). I am so looking forward to the TdF - must be my favourite sporting event of all !! Bring it on - woohoo !
Likewise - so looking forward to TdF. Lots of coffee, lots of chocolate (to fortify myself) and lots of cyclists to watch - bliss!!!!
The Tour is great but I am also a Test cricket tradgic. It has been so long since an Ashes tour has looked like it will be competitive.
And thanks for the reminder about the Blues shows. I completely forgot about them on Saturday night.
And thanks for the comments on my blog. I sometimes wonder about my HR also, but that seems to be how high it goes when I put in an all out effort. Seems a bit crazy to be able to run at 98% of Max HR for 30 minutes.
Bad luck with the ankle. Hope it gets better soon
