Kashmiri saffron (the best quality) is worth about US$900 a kilogram.
Gold (at NY closing time on Friday) was worth US$21 955 a kilogram.

I spent 10 hours out of the house today. Firstly attending the preseason NAB Cup game between the Western Bulldogs and the Sydney Swans at 3.40pm. It was a really good game. I went with Tim K and we sat with Rob and his friends just slightly to the right of the goalposts, near the Bulldogs cheer squad. The cheer squad who were visiting from Melbourne to attend the game were funny - their chant after each Bulldog goal was "doggy doggy doggy... woof woof woof".

Afterwards, I attended Craig's 50th birthday at Regatta Point with the entire Richmond family and their friends, upon his son Dane's invitation. It was a good night and it was good to catch up with Amanda's mum. When they go away in the next month or so, their German Shepherd Kane is going to come and stay over. It will be nice to have some furry companionship again.
Being out for so long and so late (getting home at 11.30pm) made me realise that my life did revolve around Keiser, and that I actually I preferred to spend time with her instead of going out.
