It's quite uplifting coming last actually...

It has been quiet, time of year I guess, I've dropped in a few times using my phone but it's not that user friendly.

Things are good thanks, got back home on Friday afternoon after going to Sheffield on Boxing Day. Struggling to comprehend that I'm back to work on the 2nd but still, 2 days to go before that happens

That sick feeling isn't it. Like being robbed of some free time when everyone else seems to still be in holiday mode.

In Oz, January is basically a write off for most businesses with the Australia Day holiday on the 26th and all that.

I'm dreading having to be up at 6.00 am when I go back to work, haven't had to do that since 21st December. It's going to be painful

I've been getting up so early... like 5:30am, then flaking out in the late afternoons, then staying up until the wee hours.
Dangerous living hey?

Oh I wish I was more of a mornings person but I'm just not. Night owl is my default setting. I'm better in the summer though, these dark mornings are not conducive to me getting my butt out of bed!

That's me too. I closed my east facing blinds in the bedroom (about 3/4 of the way down) otherwise I would get sunburned from about 5:45am onwards in the summer!

It's the second window (on the north-east) and the raucous birdlife that does the rest. I truly understand the meaning of phrase "the early bird catches the worm" - they sure let me know what they are doing.

I love mornings, i cant sleep in past 6am ever...

I'm more a night owl , but always prefered 6 - 2 shifts weird i know

There's nothing weird about that at all.

Have the in-laws left yet... and is your favourite chair and remote back under your control now mate?

yes the in-laws have gone , had a eventful Christmas / New Year with someone being ill nearly every day . I had mine Christmas eve til 27th , brother in law rushed into hospital to have his gaul bladder removed on New Years eve so the party at their house was cancelled ( he's doing well now )

Thats not good for your brother Kenny but glad he is fine now

It was a a shock , but thank fully he's feeling much better . When i had mine taken out the Surgeon told me the pain is the nearest a man can get to child birth

yeah, we men can suffer a lot too. I had a pretty painful kidney stone experience. Excruciating pain!

It's a bit of a scare when something like that hits you. I hope he's fine now too.

Theres always something isn't there

New ones keep cropping up.

life would be boring without them though

It sure keeps us on our toes doesn't it?
I had this really itchy belly button of all things. It came out of nowhere but I think I picked it up in the sea? I used all these different things on it and it just got more irritated. Eventually, calomine lotion did the trick and it's gone away now.

I had a scare over christmas but find out what it was on monday when the test come back . I got myself thinking all sorts , but the wife calmed me down

Main thing is to look after yourself and not worry. Keep the legs pumping.
Are you looking forward to the league seasons?

Yes , im hoping for a decent season from the Eels and the Robins hopefully play offs for both .

They've been getting huge crowds for the football - Western Sydney Wanderers (red & black like Flamengo) ... a real cult following of Shinji Ono at Parra stadium. Amazing atmosphere at most games with the stands and terraces packed.

The Eels need to do the same. Win games and get the crowds back. I think they are heading in the right direction. They just need to get off to a good start and be there or thereabouts when it counts towards the end of the rounds.

fingers crossed

Liverpool doing a bit better too now?
Too far behind the others though. Left it too late.

if we can just keep winning games and not drawing them we still have a outside bet , but yeh i think its to late aswell

Been watching the tests but I can't really get into the big bash. So disappointing for both Sydney teams.

No i haven't got into the Big Bash at all . Is it just another way of making money ? it seems to me we are just having twenty/20 cricket rammed down our throats .... its lost it's appeal for me .

I feel the same. Lots of annoying overkill.

you can't beat test cricket for me , i know that twenty/20 is more tv friendly but it just doesn't do it for me im affraid

I love test cricket, for me that will always be my favourite

Me too

I try to watch T20 but it just doesnt do it for me.

I find it boring to be honest , it's just slog after slog ............ theres no craft involved

I honestly feel that it wrecks batters styles as well.

I agree , they get so much tunnel vision on the big shot rather then playing shots around the field

There is a hell of alot of money in it though

To much , it turns players heads

Players like KP?

Yes and Gayle , dont get me wrong i dont begrudge anyone making money but just come out and admit thats why your playing in the IPL or Big Bash

That will never be admitted. I just dont like that players can now seemingly hold their countries at ransome for the money. Sad days.

player power coming into all sports im afraid

Its shocking, I would be dead proud to represent my country.

I used to be proud pulling on my school kit

I would like to think that money would never get in the way of a decision to play for my country but i am not in that position so i dont know.

I got as far as representing my County at school boy level and dreamed of playing for my country .............i never dreamed about money

I would hope that i would have the same integrity to be honest.

I will never know .............unless they pick me

Start training again

How's the body holding up Billy? Are you getting around OK?

Getting around well cheers breaker. No more issues

Hows you there in the land of melting sun?

Fine mate. Big fire day tomorrow but I must say the information saturation on emergency & safety is top notch. The rest is in the hands of the gods.
