I want to take a photo of my camera.
Canadian Cricket
Most people who know me know I have a thing for things Canadian so this made me smile. Canada, the land of (ice) hockey, managed to defeat a test playing nation at the World Cup. Go Canada.
Okay, so it was only Bangladesh but a win is a win. I’m sure Australia isn’t losing any sleep over a Canada – Australia final should it come to that.
(And as for Shane Warne; he’s an idiot. Supremely talented and gifted, but an idiot none the less)
Happy Birthday
Happy birthday hon.
There Be Trouble On Rafferty’s Rd
Police scour Goulburn River for clues to double murder – theage.com.au
My home town will be buzzing, two bodies in a river. Every twenty years or so it seems Shepparton gets its time in the sun (or The Sun) for a grizzly murder. The streets will be alive with gossip and scandal today; doubly so if the victims were locals.
Excuse me now while I call mum and dad…I, um, just want to say hello.
Tiger Malloy
Mum just won the 4 ball summer tournament. I’m not quite sure what this means but I know it’s a wonderful achievement when it comes to her golf.
Well done mum, I’m proud of you.
What Does This Button Do?
During a particularly listless Law & Order last night I counted the number of buttons I have to select from on my remote controls.
Between the cable, vcr/tv and DVD player I have 142 buttons and one jog dial at my disposal.
Run That By Me Again
Okay, so my honey is doing the lovely thing and ironing my shirts for the week while I fold the washing.
The topic of birthday presents raises itself :
If you haven’t bought me anything already you can get me some photo albums. On second thoughts I’ll get them so I’ll get ones that I like.
Boxers and Birthdays
I bit the bullet. I’ve purchased some new boxers (well, Rae got them for me) and new socks.
I would go for the new shoes but this week is a double whammy – Rae’s birthday and then three days later Valentines Day. I’m not impressed with her parents timing here and next time I see Zita there will be words.
On the positive side of the ledger I did get the contract for the Mercure Melbourne web site. This was once the Sheraton Hotel and it was here we would stop for lunch on the way to our holidays in Edithvale. One time we stayed there a night and went to the football the next day – complete with a box of chicken sandwiches from the kitchen. Man those sandwiches must’ve been good if I can remember them over twenty years later. I think the game was Richmond v Carlton.
Google and The 10 Commandments
I typed the 10 commandments into Google just now (you’ll see why some time later). It’s quite funny – the first link that takes you to the actual biblical ten commandments comes in at number 7.
Canucks
The Canucks let a 4-1 lead over the Bluejackets slip away in the final period. It’s a game we should’ve won – even extended the lead.
I think it’s best summed up by this paragraph on the Canucks site today :
The only thing uglier than the last 22 minutes of tonight’s game at Nationwide Arena, might be Bea Arthur in a tight mustard body stocking. And even then, it’s still just a maybe.
