A couple of the kids in one of the boarding houses found me on Monday morning to tell me that they'd set their alarms and sneaked downstairs to catch the evening session's play.
Given that they're the two boys whose cricket I have had the greatest input into over the last two years, I can't help but feel I'm doing something right. I've challenged them to get up even earlier for Perth and then to pull the all-nighters during the holidays.

Nice.
Perth is definately the easiest fixture to watch from the UK, simply a case of the earlier you get up, the more cricket you watch, rather than simply going on all night. I'm sure I can manage at least one full night at the weekend like I did with Adelaide, and try and rise around 4am for the other days.

Be realistic, it's not going to take all five days.

IIRC 'On-street Entertainment' is far more prevalent in Australia than it is here. Seem to remember there was always some guy with a big piano in the centre of perth.
Unfortunately I've had to cancel my days I had booked off for Thursday and Friday this week, will probably just get up at 5:10 and watch a session before work then listen to the final session on the radio.

Getting up just after the lunch break seemed ok for me so will probably repeat over the next few days, shame I missed the opening session though.

I haven't slept for so long.

Struggling badly.
Tomorrow's a massive day, one of those where I'd instinctively be staying up till the start of play and then up till at least lunch, but what with the Perth timezone and all, I'll have to go to bed, get to sleep an hour before the start of play, wake up feeling like crap at 5.15am to find England at a ho-hum 105-3 which isn't worth either getting out of bed for or sinking back into sleep for, and then spend the rest of the day suffering like **** and wondering how I'm going to manage to watch the 3rd day's play

****ing glory hunter. I saw every ball of day 3 - the hard yards, those, mate - and now you're just cashing in on my hard work.
