So Junior actually finished her bachelor degree in sports science and education half way through last year, but didnt go to graduation as we were in Europe, and the end of year got totally messed up by the school, (over 200 missed out!) so finally, today, almost half way through her masters, She got her degree!!

very proud Mummy moment!

and she is doing placement at Seda, with the AFL development kids! Go Cait!
Congrats to her, Jo.

Graduation day is always a good one. Remember mine like it was yesterday, despite it now being just over a year since it happened.

11 days off work :D :D with 7 annual leave days.

I need to take leave every 2 months, just don't jave that much leave.

Oh well can't complain. I do have 3-4 months of Long Service Leave and 6 weeks of Annual up my sleeve.

Return to work just after the corona - infested Docklands Stadium for our first match

My credit/debit card arrived. It was due in September. (last year). Perhaps when I threatened to close my account and complain to the banking ombudsman did the trick. Muppets had charged me for a service they did not provide. Of course will have to wait until Monday to see if it is activated.

Even life sentences that mean just that would have been good, certainly more of a deterrent than our sentencing laws.

Scored a bottle of hand sanitiser at the chemist :D

1 litre pump pack, $30.

I already put metho in a spray bottle so the old girl can clean the surfaces like the fridge door handles and benches with that, happy boy.

Well done.

I am about to head over to supermarket, not going to Woollies but the smaller IGA. Their range is also smaller but less people.

22 year got stuff for dinner form the local butcher. They have been flat chat and he has had to get a couple of mates out of semi-retirement to help him out. Some suppliers have put up prices but no problem with supply, just couldn't get stuff done quick enough.
