Played some pretty good footy. Held his own against Ballantyne & Sharrod in his last 2 games... something to build on for 2020. |
Sorry to hear that. Hope he's OK. Time for a rest and back for A Big Pre-Season. |

Cheers P4S, appreciate it.
It hasn't gone in too well. Just saw him at Arias 2nd birthday party. Getting it looked at on Monday.
He did really well in his 4 games, the kid had some stiff opposition; Wellingham (AFL champion/115 AFL games/Premiership player)) v East Perh, Ballantyne (140 AFL games) v Peel and Jye Bolton v Caremont (Dual Sandover winner/Collingwood List).
Playing off the HB line averaged; 13 disposals, 4 tackles and 4 marks. Most of all, he really stepped up. I said to Kelly after their last final in the ressies last year that he'd play league this year. Has enough ability to be a regular WAFL player.
His younger (17) brother is on the Swans Colts list but hasn't cracked a game yet. Not sure if he's got the same drive as Jordy yet. He's 191cm and I reckon about 52 kilo's... I thought I had skinny legs! _________________ Don't count the days, make the days count. |

I'll whack this here as it has bits of pissed off and bits of happy.
Just got home from the weekly booze shop bit after midday, got a call from the son. The front door into his garage was busted. Someone had tried to break in overnight and the door was stuffed, could I come over and help.
To explain, his house has the garage joined on, with the big lift up door in the front and a standard house door on the side for entry. All I had planned was to sit back and watch the footy, so I agreed to come over.
Had a look, door was stuffed, it was an internal door and decades of being outside it was buggered. So was the lock. Bugger.
Quick bunnings trip, it's a non standard door width, I can't buy a direct replacement. Bugger. So bought a smaller door, new lock, and a length of 90x35 pine to jury rig the door jamb.
I did the door myself while the son and his brother were cleaning the garage and the grandson running in and out of the house once he realised I was there wanting to show me stuff.
Long story short, got the door hung and working properly. Took 3 hours including a trip home for a plane and some other tools I hadn't thought I'd need, didn't see any of the game but they streamed audio on the AFL app on a mobile to a stereo so I could listen while I worked, got to see the grandson who didn't want me to go home and it's always nice when an adult son needs to call his father for expertise rather than cash. _________________ Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down. |

Sounds like he is really settling into the Dad gig, that’s awesome.
Bugger the door, apparently there has been a small string of similar breaking around indented head, my neighbor told me before we left.

Yeah, him and the kid have settled. He was outside cleaning the garage, kid was inside. Kid came out and yelled "Dad, what are you doing?" Dad replied, "I'm working, if you put some shoes on you can come out if you want"
5 minutes later, kid comes out, wearing his work boots and spies Granddad and runs over. I love how it seems to work between them. The kid can entertain himself but isn't busting anything so he can be trusted on his own in the house while Dad is outside. _________________ Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down. |

Arrived in Dubai at midnight, it was 38 degrees! Got a free upgrade to a gorgeous, massive room, the place looks massing, might just stay here for the day! Read up on what not to do and the first one was don’t do anything left handed, so yeah, I’ll be in jail after signing in! How ridiculous! Can’t wait to get home tomorrow! This trip has made me realize just how lucky we are to live in the lucky country! Sure, we need some improvement in some areas, but wow. I’m gobsmacked at some of the things, and living conditions I’ve seen. I even get why my parents moved us here now. The cost of living is out of control! Cheers, 1 more sleep, and it’s go Pies! _________________ You cant fix stupid, turns out you cant quarantine it either! |

After holidaying in Dubai for a week & being a left hander I can confirm the first thing on that list is bollocks. |

No idea where to ponder this so here'll do:
Wonder what Nostradamus had to say about Covid 19/2020? |

Quite a lot, if one believes the internet.

not Nostradamus wrote: | There will be a twin year (2020) from which will arise a queen (corona) who will come from the east (China) and who will spread a plague (virus) in the darkness of night, on a country with 7 hills (Italy) and will transform the twilight of men into dust (death), to destroy and ruin the world. It will be the end of the world economy as you know it. |
Personally, I want to know what Criswell predicted about it!

I'd seen the "Nostradamus predicted this" and that it was debunked as bullshit almost straight away.
Anyway, according to Nostradamus and the Mayans, we're already supposed to all be dead. _________________ Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down. |
