I Just Gotta Be Me

On Wednesday I ducked into town to do some muy overdue birthday present shopping. For people who had birthdays in March.

I can hear Jessie Mo rolling her eyes from here.

Anyway, that was summer but now winter is coming and one of these friends lives in Canberra, so I got her some chunky woollen socks, and the other lives in Sydney and goes to Thredbo to ski a fair bit so I got her a scarf and beanie.

In the card to accompany the socks I wrote, "As you slide around on your cold wooden floors, you can think warm thoughts of me."

In the card to accompany scarf and beanie I wrote, "As you zoom down the slopes at Thredders, you can think warm thoughts of me."

I'm kind of ashamed of myself but somewhat proud that I resisted the urge to write, "Geddit? Geddit?!" in each card. It's important to celebrate the little things.

LOL re celebrating the little things.

You get caught in that busted water-pipe induced traffic jam on Friday a'noon, HBB? 3 hours from Perth to Freo down the freeway.

What a shocker.

Go the docker.

Actually, since you brought up the Dockers, HBB, I hope you picked them in the tips, as I suspect they're due for another big win at Docklands (soon to be known as Dockerlands).

The Wiz and the Big Pav to kick a minimum 4 goals each. McPharlin to get 3 and Hazelby and Medhurst to chime in with 2 each.

What a well-rounded squad they are - much like the contributors to your 'blog - each with their hangups and skill deficiencies to be sure, but when goaded into action by a natural leader such as Chris Connolly, or yourself, they're unstoppable.

Well done, HBB, and keep up the good work.

Bloody Dockers. I'm ditching my tarot cards.

yes, in hindsight, I was a little harsh on the poor old Dockers.
