Well, it has been formally announced
https://www.theguardian.com/sport/20...c-session-vote Is there a nuance that we're not being informed of?

Was woken at 9am by some council workers grinding a tree stump in the street, I mean how dare they ruin my sleep in courtesy of the lockdown!!
Being a man of leisure at the moment, the mid morning coffee I made myself was pretty good though. ![]()

A young friend of mine is having a baby in LGH today. She’s survived cancer and a near-fatal car accident to become a paramedic and home owner, all before 25. It’s good to see things continuing well for her. Her bloke’s alright, loves her to bits and is happy to be under her thumb.
We’re all speculating on whether the sprog will be blonde like her or a ranga like him. ![]() |

So, backstory. My neighbour is looking after her daughters dog. Her daughter has an infant and a toddler, so understandably theres a bit in that. Her youngest son is a good mate of mine and is between places so moved back in next door. So boris the dog, he is a cross breed of 2 different brands of mop dog, he hates my rc car. His bark is worse then his bite, and his bark is weak. So ripping my rc car he was running up and down the fence line. So my mate comes out to see what his problem is. So over the fence i handed my mate the rc car and the dog hasnt had this much excersize ever. Big man little dog, yet after chasing it if it stopped wouldnt come closer then 3 feet. It was pretty entertaining, my mates mum took a video to send to her daughter. So the dogs batteries wore out faster then the rc car, so no walkies today, but a trip to the water bowl. It was pretty entertaining.

Monday last, a neighbour from down the street offered me a free motor; her son left it behind when he moved out.
I said, sorry; chockers in car bits already, what was it from - might be able to suggest something. “A Nissan” I was told. So I suggested she put it up for offers on FB Marketplace. The offers started rushing in. Turned out to be a fully dressed RB26DET. ![]() |

Tidied up my shed, bench covered in hand tools and power tools.
Now everything is pretty much back where it should be so I can find them.

Watching Ariane Titmus beat Kate Ledecky in the 400m freestyle, it was a replay but watched it live yesterday!
Made me happy, happy for Ariane, she looks like a nice young lass! Cheers William ![]() |

In training not to be a victim of cancer, type 2 diabetes, alzheimer's, inflammation, or spend the last 5 years of my life full of aches and pains and on ten different meds - research autophagy.
And FYI the meal was rather large. T-bone steak, 3 eggs (sunny side up) fried tomato and broccolini. Garlic, butter and parsley melted then poured over steak. Lemon juice over the broccolini and the plate topped with pink Himalayan salt. Next was a bowl of home-made Bolognese sauce (non traditional) on it's own (no pasta or garlic bread) with a heap of parmesan cheese. My sauce contains bacon, beef (70-30 fat to meat ratio), onion, garlic, celery, carrot, red and green peppers, olive oil, oregano, basil, bay leaves, pink Himalayan salt, and finished with 2 tablespoons of 100% butter. Not processed or carb free, but extremely low. |

![]() I eat low carb and fast 16:8 so you may be preaching to the choir ![]() Choosing to eat healthy (whatever works for you) is great, but genetics can still trip up the "healthiest" diet. And I feel good today because I work outside, it's cold and the soil is damp, but I see signs of Spring just around the corner everywhere!

I'm WFH, sitting out in my alfresco area enjoying the nearly 20°C warmth and sun, rocking out to triple m's double shot Tuesday.
Have the bed linen on the line getting a well deserved airing (after being washed) and the house is open airing out, too. Can't wait for winter weather to be gone.

This should not have made me feel good and its not cool and poor form but it did nevertheless.....
Driving into work today in my Fiesta ST along Pacific Highway just past Charlestown heading into CBD. Other side heading towards Charlestown a new black Camaro bubbling around a sweeping curve. Then a discrete distance back behind the Camaro was a shiny deep blue Chrysler SRT Highway Patrol vehicle , bubbling along behind in stalking mode. Sometimes pays to be driving a whitegoods shopping trolley ![]()
