Me too.

As a Kinder Garden Principal, IUB must look the part and set a Good Example.

Short back insides is good for Marines because attackers cannot grab man buns etc

 

[Horace]

No.
No.


I do drink



























tea, ginger beer, water, coffee

I'm pretty much the same. Hot strong white tea is my favourite. Nothing better on a hot day and when you're working out in a paddock. Milk and cold water the others for me.

How can you have never eaten KFC?

Chugginon obviously prefers eating healthy food. Smart move.

Bloody hell. IUB slept in and missed the dawn service. F***

 

[Gasometer]

Just attended the Shrine Melbourne dawn service for the first time ever.

Amazing morning.

One thing about being a card carrying member of the grumpy and old brigade is that the older you get the more likely you'll see friends drop off the perch as I have over the past few days. That makes me grumpier than ever!

Two close friends, one very close, both passed away after long battles with cancer. Both were given the all clear in late 2015. Both copped an about face prognosis this year following further tests.

Both were mums to young kids.

The one I've been extremely close to since we were 4yrs old is my best mate's sister who was a year older than us. Their own mum died when we were 17 and Linda, as the oldest sibling, took on the motherly role for my mate and his other younger sisters. Their dad played 33 or so games for North in the 60's and I've dubbed him "collarbones" for the 6 week suspension he copped during his North playing time.

I spent much of the past couple of weeks reminiscing with Linda in her hospital room and was planning on visiting yesterday as well, before being informed of her passing an hour prior to Saturday arvo's GC game.

So, needless to say, I'm primed to take on the Dogs this week. The perspective a loss of life brings is incredible, and it made watching Saturday arvo an absolute breeze, not particularly caring about the small stuff I'd usually go spare over.

Waffle over.

Life is very fragile and short. Make the most of yours!

As a footnote to the above tale of woe my mate coached his son and his teammates to the Men's National U18's Basketball title in Adelaide after learning of his sister's death that night. Shinboner Spirit baaaaaby!

It's not attackers whose grab man buns, they're for their partner to hold on to as they drive from behind.

Ok....as IUB would say 'Please explain' the situationshhn.

Furthermore, re my friend Linda who passed away on Saturday arvo, it will surprise nobody here that my last convo with her via Facebook messenger included her final words to me which read thus:

"I don't know how you survive on such little sleep.

GO TO BED NOW!"

One of these days I'll take her advice onboard.

 

[KiwiRoo]
