The shed, city of bayswater
The City of Bayswater gives its residents 3 rubbish skips a year to take away big rubbish.
So Melinda ordered one this week, I wondered what we were going to fill it up with.
This afternoon when I got back from the office I found out!
We unpacked and repacked our little garden shed. Did I say little? That thing was like the tardis. We filled up the skip, no problem. Very satisfied with the shed though. Hit on the brilliant idea of hanging a lot of tools and things from the sides. Left a lot of floor space. Feels nice to have the shed back in operational mode. Took the time out to organise my tools and things, feels nice to know where everthing is.
After all that work we bought ourselves some ‘magic pizza’. These are good pizzas. Old Italian guy on Beaufort st. Proper cheese, ham, etc. Dont eat Dominoes unless you have too. Buy good pizza.
Jesus Countdown
Here is a video countdown I did up for Sunday
Mainwaring why?
Two things moved me deeply today…seeing Suzanna Carr almost lose it when reporting the story….she was so close to just breaking up it wasn’t funny……then seeing Adrian Barich crying out…and asking the question ‘why’……
When faced with the mortality of a friend, a strong man, a celebrity, a larger than life figure…this is the question people ask, they are in shock…how could it happen to someone like Mainy? Seeing Barich ask this question almost brought me to tears.
I had 500 unique hits on this blog today, and I normally average about 65-70
There is an incredible amount of interest in the man….and where did people turn to for up to date news? The internet.
While 6pr was dragging its feet, for legal and integrity issues, the internet was already collating the information people were seeking from all different sources.
No doubt the next turn the story will take is the question of why and how, and how Ben Cousins was involved, he must be feeling very low…..and I am certain the net will again lead the way.
Mainwaring dies
Sad news this morning with Chris Mainwaring passing away. A East Freo boy originally, who became a champion with the West Coast Eagles.
Sad that he leaves behind two children.
News reports being very respectful and not reporting the whole story of his passing. Police were called to his residence with a noise complaint, and 94.5 are reporting it was a drug overdose.
Very sad news, RIP Chris Mainwaring.
lucky punter
Here is an investment that worked out…
“A 30-SECOND phone call left Darwin Sportsbet the only losing betting outlet after Geelong’s record-breaking Grand Final win.
A regular client rang three hours before the bounce of the ball and bet a staggering $340,000 at $3.50 on the Cats to win by 40 points or more. He won $850,000.
“It’s by far the biggest bet we’ve ever taken,” Darwin Sportsbet’s Phil Hannah said. “We were out of our misery pretty early. It was a horror result.” “
Power turned off
How many headlines can you make up after that game?
Power shock, power fade, power cut…
as good as Geelong was, was as dissapointing as Port were.
I suppose Port were not expected to do anything this year, and they finished up making the GF…so we should not be too harsh….but they were disapointing.
Geelong on the other hand were incredibly skillful, watching Ablett, Bartel, Scarlet, Chapman and Johnston weave through traffic, kick and handball accurately under pressure to their team mates…a joy to watch.
And on a side point, what utter class they showed in receiving their medals. Looked the kids in the eye, gave them a second of invaluable time, shook their hands, gave them a cap……obviously after the disgraceful display exhibited last year, Geelong made sure they did the right thing.
