Righto, Tools Down

In some breaking news from the Eastern Seaboard, and from the burrows of a few eager beavers South and West - it is officially tools down.

While there's technically another working weekday tomorrow, today is done and dusted.

This comes after the flick of a little coin in front of the English and Australian cricket captains - to decide who gets to do what with the pink rock.

Yes, if you are reading this the toss at the Gabba test has occurred and the first ball is imminent or has already happened.

Which is great news for anyone who can afford/is lucky enough to pack it up for the day, and potentially the week.

Because, the 2nd Ashes test is here, the weather is warm and Chrissy is just around the corner.

"Yeah, that'll do," said local plumber Craig Devine, fishing a few nice cold beverages out of is worksite cooler for the boys and girls.

"Car's staying here."

"Gonna have a couple here and then stroll down to the schooner shop."

"What's that song?"

"Heaven is a place on earth with you."

"Glorious."

"You want one?"

More to come.
