off season

Post by 23 YIPPEE!!! »

as we are already 3 days into the off season what do you all do in the coming months I generally play lawn bowls on Saturdays in pennant and work during the week I sometimes head to the golden triangle for detecting I intend to enrol in a course early next year too.

The months between oct-dec are pretty empty on weekend with out the footy but as the new year rolls around so does the footy once again.

I might go on a little holiday in November too say to south coast nsw or Tassie

We’re heavily involved in Baseball, so Camps, games, tournaments etc., right up until March.
We also go on holidays from Boxing Day until AU Day.
I love the months Sept - March.
The days are warm, they’re long & so much to do, stress free too.
WE WERE ROBBED, RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME, RIGHT IN FRONT OF MEEE!

N.Y METS, N.Y GIANTS, PENRITH PANTHERS & HOBART HURRICANES FAN.

WE ALL LOOK GOOD AT TRAINING, IT'S THE MATCHES THAT COUNT!

More; swim time, BBQ time, go to a few race meets at Ascot during the Summer Carnival, watch a bit of cricket.
I usually start counting down until the new season in about 8-10 weeks and planning my trip to Melbourne for a game or two.
Don't count the days, make the days count.

Ha, yep! Me too!

I have a few things to finish, quite a few!

Like spring cleaning I like to get everything done so I can enjoy the sun on my skin the second it gets warm enough to!

Finally got some antibiotics today, sinus infection, since before we went away, and the stress of the weekend was the last straw, just totalled me yesterday! I was in bed at 7pm!

Looking forward to the sun!

I’m afraid to ask but what are you detecting and where is the golden triangles? I’m assuming a metal detector some where around Ballarat or Bendigo? You need a course for that?

I find October and November boring sport wise, can't wait for the cricket to get going.

But weather wise, love it. Get outside in the garden, I'll alternate weekends between home and the place up in Toc, doing gardening, home maintenance, enjoying the warmth and chilling out.

The older I get, the more winter grinds me down and makes me prone to anxiety and depression. I need to either win Tatts or find a hot rich chick with daddy fetishes.
Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down.

I happen to know a Nigerian princess with a daddy fetish who also needs to smuggle 10 million dollars out of the country. Just forward me your banking details and we can make this happen.

Trade period and English soccer should keep me occupied for a while.

You guys are such novices. I'll have you know that I get emails from Russian babes, horny housewives and Stormy Daniels wanting to meet me every day in my work inbox.
