lol!!

i get all of that!!

well my younger sister has really made me doubly happy these last couple of weeks!

1stly, ive been suffering neck and shoulder pain for some time that has got progressively worse, to the point of agony of late! i went to my doc for a referral and to get xrays etc done. I wanted to see the guy who does my knees but the clinic said another doc (carlscums doc) is better for necks. so off we went yesterday. the man is an arrogant pig, total tool, hes a sport doc but just wants to jab me 6 weeks running to try and repair the nerves. he saw me for less than 10 min, barely checked me, said see you in 2 weeks, the injections are just sugar water $369 a pop, im guessing plus his inflated fee of $240. i had to go back in and said can you give me something in the meantime, im in agony. so he did. my sister was pissed off and booked me in to her physio in Alphington, (i actually booked a doc there first but could not get in for 3 weeks). this physio plays for calscums womens afl team! she was awesome! did some work on my neck, (she agrees with the doc its damage from dislocating my shoulder, crap ipad posture, heavy camera gear, & a touch of whiplash for good measure!!) gave me a program, and outlined where it will take me. I already feel a bit better today!

And my old man didnt actually get himself into a retirement village, its a village for over 55s, and he cant afford it, and it doesnt suit his needs. so he asked us all for weekly cash! We all agreed its time to put him in a nursing home (god help em!). He said no way, but she fought all the battles, and just told him this is how it is. he gave her crap and she told him you have 2 daughters youve treated like shit and they still visit you, start realizing how lucky you are, you dont deserve either of them. so we have to find him a place, and then move him but he hasnt had time to kill the new place yet, so hopefully it wont be too costly or labour intensive.

She has really stepped up, and right now, with everything else going on, im so damn grateful. life is good!

What about what?

Up in Toc for the weekend.

Mowed all the lawns including the fkn massive nature strips, did some painting and repairs but generally just enjoyed being here.

Weather is fkn sensational. There's some festival happening just out of to wn, Strawberry Fields, few minutes west of town on the far eastern fringe of the Barmah forest.

Attracting a variety of wildlife, saw this young girl (18~20) in the supermarket wearing basically black underwear with a see through mesh long sleeve dress over top with sequins, capped off with hiking boots.

Free concert down on the foreshore with bands from the festival, the old Tatts pub has new owners and is looking schmick for summer and they've started building the new free splash park.

Best purchase i ever made getting this little joint up here that nobody else wanted

LOL. No, didn't catch any jail bait

Toc is an anomaly in that most of the small country towns are dying, but Toc is going forward. Slowly. Lots of building going on, people who've been visiting there for years, retiring and moving up from Melbourne.

I moved to Melbourne in 1985 and the population was 1100. Now it's 2100.

What about Milfs or Gilfs then?

Beautiful golf course there. I got spoken to by the golf pro after, as President of our social golf club that had 30 players on a golf trip I abused a grounds person. When I explained to the golf pro that when you are in the first group of the day on a Saturday you do not expect the green mowing to go hole 1, then hole 2 etc. You start at 18 and go backwards so all groups get one interruption. I received an apology and they gave us a slab. The grounds idiot could have done 12 holes before he hit a golf group. But it was Om when we got moving again.

It is a very nice Golf course and club. They've merged with the Lawn Bowls club and put the bowling rink where the first green was.

As far as the talent, not really a lot on offer. The younger ones either leave town or hook up early and any single good looking MILFs are single for a reason.

A guy I went to school with got married 3 times to excellent housekeepers.

Each time he got divorced, the missus kept the house.
