A site I started over two years ago is finally coming together thanks to finding someone who cares about the project. So if you want to see what the weather’s like in Blairgowrie today check the Blairgowrie Yacht Squadron’s site – www.bys-aus.com.
It’s Back
The nights are getting cooler, days a little shorter. Summer is slowly slipping away. It’s even rained today – proper rain that’s lasted more than a minute at a time. It can mean only one thing.
IT’S FOOTY TIME!
Yes, after 5 long summer months the footy preseason starts tonight when Richmond take on the Demons. It’s the time of year where, for a few brief minutes, anything is possible.
So, deep breath, and a one, and a two, and a one two three
Oh we’re from Tigerland,
A fighthing fury, we’re from tigerland….
Oh Joy – Marita Is Blogging
I had wishlist of three people I know who I would like to see blog.
Sue (come on Sue, give it a go)
Tim
and top of the tree – The Lovely Marita.
And just to prove dreams can come true may I present Marita’s Nameless Blog.
So far there’s only the one entry but bookmark the page, you will not be disapointed.
Oh Great
After a couple of decades of operations trying to get my feet to stop falling to bits it now appears I’ve got a stuffed hand. I have to have a test to rule out Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. Worse thing is that even with my contacts I still can’t get in before March 25.
Canadians Win Some, Lose Some
First, the win some. My beloved Canucks staged a once-in-a-season comeback yesterday. Trailing 0-3 with fifteens minutes to play Naslund scored the tie with 30 seconds left. I jumped out of my chair in the office, screaming like a mad man. If you’ve got nothing better to do (and lets face it, if you’re reading my blog you really haven’t, be honest now) check out the final period on CKNW (skip the first 15 minutes, it’s just the break between 2nd and 3rd periods). You can then go and hear the O/T where we score the winning goal. It was one of those amazing games, the sort you listen to 80 in a season to find.
Now for the lose some.
Canada were bundled out for a world record low of 36 by Sri Lanka in the 2003 Cricket World Cup. Ouch.
A Bit of Tigerland Is Coming Home
Wow, one month after it closed I found out last night that my bid was successful and I will shortly be the proud owner of Greg Stafford’s #10 training jumper from last year. Now I just have to find the $160 again and then scrounge up some more money to get it framed.
Help Please Nigel
Nigel, debate rages within the corridors.
Which of the following is the most correct (assuming you can have degrees of correctness)
“Evan doesn’t choose either.”
or
“Evan chooses neither.”

Doggies
The Western Bulldogs Football Club have announced that rather than tie themselves to one sporting goods manufacturer they are going to market their own ‘Bulldog brand’ clothing.
My suggestion for it’s name.
“Doggie Style”
Bright Spot
Work, work, work. Dull, dull, dull. Bucket loads to do and the well of motivation is totally dry. Maybe it’s gone out in sympathy with the drought. Who knows.
There was a brief bright spot this morning though. Robin (the olfactory challenged office mate) and I set up a new video system for maternity recently. They used to show educational videos on an ad-hoc basis; basically when someone remembered they’d shove a video in and run around to each of the 30 rooms to let the patients know. Now it’s all computerised. Videos, stored on a PC, screen on the hour on a dedicated channel in the maternity ward. They also have the option to switch over to a VCR for special screenings if required.
Well it’s all been a great hit. Staff love it, patients love it and to say thanks we scored a big box of chocolates.
Ah, appreciation at work. What an odd feeling.
