I take it for granted how much I enjoy posting on this site.

Felt a sense of sadness seeing it offline. It's going to be a hard day when it goes offline permanently.

That would be awful.

I find Big Footy all over the place.

I've been reading/posting here since I was a teenager. At one point I was gone for a long time, but returned.

Nicks has been great. Sadly we've only seen the one flag. I'll be really sad if it goes down for good.

Every single person that I'm friends with, or have been close with supports other clubs. Other than my brother and parents, this is the only contact I have with other Collingwood people.

Nothing! Doing nothing but walking, talking, laughing, eating, drinking, shopping, walked around the national park area in Burleigh heads, spotted a juvenile kookaburra, he’s was as fascinated with me and my camera as I was with him! Up here with a GF, we had a couple of arse damn cowboys or something tonight, yum! It was actually colder here today than Melbourne was! Walked 18,999 steps, 14.9klm, gees a Bradman score! Life is good. And peaceful! Cheers

Oh my eldest tested positive yesterday, while I was on my 5.5 hour trip to Coolangatta! Yes 5.5 hours, plane broke a little apparently! None of which made me happy! Lucky she has a boyfriend who treats her like a queen! Cheers! G,night! No dog fats no Hubby farts, just my own! Bliss!

Goodonya. You might want to check your flights, my boss had the past week and a bit up on the Gold Coast. Supposed to fly back last night, flight cancelled. Put on a flight leaving early this morning instead, flight cancelled.

Young Rocky was 6 months old 2 days ago. Mrs WPT is up in Sidanee again and we’ll both be heading up in late July / early August (again). The SIL is applying for jobs in Melbourne so hopefully they’ll be down soon enough.

Sun shining. At least it was.

Tricks the brain into thinking Spring is coming and warmer weather. I've definitely noticed sunrise is getting earlier, I could see it cresting as I took off on my morning walk just after 7am.

4.3km this morning in 38:41. Average pace of 8:56 per km.

had the skins under the shorts, long sleeve thermal top and jumper, gloves and a beanie and I was still fkn cold til I started generating body heat.

Goodonya!
Go up to toc it’s a little warmer up here! Finally got away in the van we bought 2.5 years ago, it’s a beauty! In a town about an hour from Corowa junction of the newel and another hwy, can’t pronounce or spell it! Head to Dubbo tomorrow, got to be in Hervey Bay Saturday, spend the weekend, then leave the van and stay at a hotel on Fraser Island! Bliss!
