Arrived Safe and Sound

 Ive just arrived at my hotel in Perth. I need food ( I didn't eat anything except a banana on the second leg from Dubai to Perth) so I'm off to the restaurant. I'm told by Graham (my driver who picked me up from the airport) that the weather forecast is not too good for the first Test. likely to be a bit damp and cloudy, so whoever wins the toss will probably bowl.

I met someone on the first leg from LHR to Dubai, who like me has an Australian naturalized daughter (his here in Perth, mine in Sydney). and his granddaughter is one of the flag carriers to welcome the teams onto the pitch at start of proceedings, so that's nice
