Life between coffees.
Fathers Day, 2005 and I’m a very lucky man. Presents from both of the kids, a lovely cooked breakfast, afternoon tea out complete with lemon tart – who could ask for more?
Phee gave me this mug, my 5th Tigers mug, but the most precious gift was a card with Phee’s finger prints and Albert’s foot prints.
I’ve been tagged by Daniel.
List five songs that you are currently digging – it doesn?t matter what genre they are from, whether they have words, or even if they?re not any good, but they must be songs you?re really enjoying right now. Post these instructions and the five songs (with artist) in your blog. Then tag five people to see what they?re listening to.
Okay, this should hopefully be simpler than listing my all time favourite songs.
Five songs I’m currently digging :
Fathers Day – Weddings, Parties Anything.
Given the time of year it’s not surprising this is getting a bit of play but I’ve always loved this bitter sweet tale of a dad separated from his son. The final plaintive ‘I haven’t always been a single man…’ as the song fades gets me every time.
Dance Me To The End Of Love – Leonard Cohen
Nice depressing start to this list. Hmmm. The caf? up the street was playing a ‘Best Of’ when we were then last week so Leonard has been on high rotation of late. Love this song.
The Whole Of The Moon – The Waterboys
I remember I first heard this song on holidays in Melbourne when I was a kid. It was on one of those new fangled FM stations (probably EON FM) that we didn’t yet have in Shepparton and I was blown away – the sound of the ‘comet, blazing it’s trail’ had me hooked and I’d stay up night, listening on my newly purchased ghetto blaster hoping they’d play it just once more. 6 Music have played a live version a couple of times over the past fortnight and I’m hooked all over again.
The Walls Come Tumbling Down – Style Council
This song is just cool. End of argument.
The Same Old Walk – Paul Kelly
I discovered a CD copy of Under The Sun sitting next to the stereo the other day. This was the first Paul Kelly album I heard. I remember Jo, a friend at uni, telling me of this really cool guy called Paul Kelly and he had really great music. I had a tape of the album and this story of lost love still rocks almost 20 years later.
Well, that’s it. My Tigers have just lost the last game of the year by a point. We’ve come so close so many times this season but that one hurt, especially with Wayne Campbell retiring.
All in all I’m impressed with my boys this year. So many games we’ve come back where in previous years we would just have given it all away. They now try no matter what the odds stacked against them and this new found confidence is wonderful for us long suffering Tiger fans. Come next season Nathan Brown and David Roden will be back on the ground and this will make a huge difference. The boys will take a lot from this year and 2006 and beyond are looking grand for those who love their Yellow and Black.
Now though, it’s time to move the sporting focus to hockey with season 2005/2006 just a little over a month away I’m already salivating over the thought of my Canucks playing off for the Stanley Cup.
Hi anybody still reading, sorry for the long break on this one but we’ve busy over on Albert and I’ve developed a real compulsion for putting photos of Bert up on Flickr.
Aside from this there is on very important thing I have learnt over the past week. We are definetly more Bert people than Kerri-Anne.
Here we go folks, pictures.
They are hosted on Flickr.

Just for those not in the know, blogging may be a little quiet here over the next few weeks.
If you want to know why have a look at Albert.
Back soon.
My boy. 2 hours old.
I’m going to sleep now, then there will be more pics and the story.
Trying to coax the baby out with a cheap meal at the local.
And if that doesn’t work we’ll watch the DVD of Deliverance that Rae gave me today. That should scare the little sucker out.
