Just watched the Doggies defeat the Bombers.....great to see they showed more of their early season form....strong tackling and chasing. Last Saturday night we went to the Gabba to see them lose to the Lions....on the bus back to Southbank was one very very disappointed little boy resplendent in his Bulldog jumper his eyes red from crying....reminded me of someone very close to me many years ago whenever the Hawks lost.....this little fellas face was etched in my mind and I just hope tonight he was able to sit up and enjoy the win. Despite the loss we had a great night, delicious meal at the Pineapple Hotel, great company, good seats.....Jan & I went looking for coffee at half time and a security guy let us into the Function Room where food and drink was being served to the Prime Minister and other dignitaries and important people...silly us we didn't stay and enjoy the food and drink 'cos we couldn't get a coffee in the Corporate section we were in!!
Tomorrow is St Kevins School Fair - yeah! no more toys to wash till next year!! - Bill was volunteered to assist with the money handling/accounting and I'll be helping by relieving on a couple of stalls and helping Leeanne with the toy stall.....the response from parents to help has been very very very very poor.....yet I bet these are the first parents to whinge and complain if required to pay higher fees or levies.
Finally have the computers almost sorted out.....Rodney has to get better speakers for Bill, the ones that came are soooooo cheap the sound is so scratchy and distorted....and I need a bit of techno help re installing our downloaded games.
Enjoying working from home.....sure there are days when its a little depressing, people can be so rude.....hey telemarketers are doing a job, they are not relying on Government handouts/benefits....even telemarketers get called too.....ideally if we lived in a 'perfect' world there would be no need for charities to rely so heavily on community donations......however at the present time there are so many pensioners out there in 'struggle street'.....I'm amazed at the number of kids who are home alone during the day......just hope their parents know.....
Haven't been overly impressed with 7's coverage of the Olympics....get sick of seeing some events over and over and over again.....and missing out on watching our Aussies in other events.
Hoping to blog more regularly again now I have my computer back.
Till next time.......Go Doggies..........woof
