Im already twice as tired as I was a week ago thank you daylight saving. Go to bed later n get up earlier. wonderful.
I bowled two lousy balls at cricket on Saturday. Took one wicket. HEHE Didnt get another chance as they ran out of batsmen!
I also opened the batting at 5:30pm (bloody other team batted for FOUR hours to make 188 all out)I am currently 15 not out so I get to continue this Saturday. It feels rather nice to being playing on our home ground finally. It is nice and level which is a wonderful change from the other grounds we normally play on. Too many bindis however. I had them all up n down my poor widdle arms n all over my hands after fielding. Im still picking the lil fuckers out of my hands. Fer those who are iggerant bindis are little plants wot grow in the grass in Australia. They have sharp lil prongs which dig in like a bastard. They hurt out of ALL proportion to their size. Put it this way - when you have bindis you DONT go barefoot.
I am looking forward to making some runs on Saturday. I need to get a score under my belt as I have not been performing to expectation so far this season. Ive nearly fixed (about 85% right) a technical fault which had crept into my stroke. So I intend to bat through the day on Saturday (of course the other team might have something to do with that).
Since having the arthritis stuff diagnosed Ive found it difficult to walk the dog, and in fact have even struggled to get (this will sound odd) enough time t oride my bike.
The gurl is going to Victoria for a month from next week. This means i will have time to ride at least (dodging damned snakes as I go yeah its that time of year again when the cold blooded little freaks come out to hunt mountain bikers). I dont get much time to do this stuff as I have to stay with the gurl almost round the clock in case she has another fit. Cricket is about the only 'me' time I get n she comes with just in case ( our scorer is a trained nurse so there is always someone there if something happens). Hoping the fits are a thing of the past now as she has started on a new anti convulsive drug. Not new in the sense of just on the market but new i nthe sense that she hasnt had it b4. It is the first one that has had an immediate effect on her. The others, you wouldnt know she had taken them. So fingers crossed they actually stop the seizures (i choose to use 'seizure' and 'fit' interchangeably even though I am aware they are not technically the same, just fer variety *disclaimer ends*)
We got some more pain meds yesterday. Ahhhhhhhhh prescription pain meds... bye bye knee pain..... bye bye lower back pain... bye bye damned bindi sting... and NO you cant have them!!! Theyre MINE ALL MINE. Bloke could get hooked ifn he didnt have will power (Max Powers' younger fitter brother ... thats a Simpsons joke).
I bought some genuine Peugeot bicycle frame stickers from USA the other day n they arrived on Friday. So now IF I decide to strip my racer back to bare arse metal I can turn it into a proper Peugeot racer, not this adulterated late 80s early 90s shimano equipped, fancy ponce named thing it is currently. I can fake up a P10x or some such. I can ge tthe pucka Simplex deraileurs etc and there seems plenty of MAFAC brake gear about so if i want to I can. Seems a shame though as I have the brakes working pretty much exactly as they should now (cable rerout and some WD40 plus swapping the calipers from the other bike)though a new rear cable wouldnt be a bad idea. I next need to either A have 2 spokes on the back wheel replaced or B replace the rear wheel entirely . B is preferable (replace front too natch). I think that will cure the deraileur hitting the spokes in the lowest gear so i cant use the lowest cog (frustrating that eh). anyhoo I better go cook breakfast i spose.

Elections, Cricket, bloody world cup
It's Election time in Godzown. So what do we get? Punk teenagers all mumbling that theyre gonna vote for the other guy 'cuz he is cooler/sexier' you have GOT to be kidding. Raise the voting age to 25 I say. Thats when people start to develop a brain that actually works. More proof of Mongooses' First Law: Idiots breed in exponential proportion to the increase in protection from them killing themselves. Or, every time we subvert Natural selections ability to weed out the FUCKWITS we find the little fuckers breeding like rabbits. Hence the idiots are taking over.
These are the same little shitwits who didnt A exist or B were still sucking on mummy's tit last time the other lot were in - up to 20% home loan rates, 15% unemployment, business rates over 30%. If they think I am EVER gonna vote for the people who fucked nearly everyone *I* know then they can think again. Arseholes. So called labor leaders who are married to multimillionaires. Pricks who have never held a proper job in their ENTIRE lives. Browbeating union members for their fees is not good practice for government.Remember the 96 billion dollar debt they left the last time they got in. where is it now? Oh yeah... GONE.
Following from Mongooses' First Law... Just remove the right to vote from everyone who drives a Commodore with any sort of aerials, fat tyres, or people driving them with their hats on backwards. *gasp*
We missed out on an outright win on Saturday. I thought it a pretty sporting declaration - 106 in front on first innings. If they were good enough they could have actually tried to set us a total instead of scoring at 1-2 runs an over. I'm pretty sure Ida tried to win the damn game from t there. Hell we were scoring at 4-5 an over on average hitting SINGLES. anyway we won first innings n I made 19 not out. Doubled my average I did, me. Finally got my average back up to last years point. My stupid knee is making it hard however. Cannot run real well. Lost loads of speed. I seem to have lost a lot of power in my shots too. Did not hit a solitary boundary. Normally thats where the bulk of my score comes from on average. I think I hit one in our first match. None in the 2nd, none this time. Frustrating cuz I seem to be able to hit the ball hard in the nets. I even used WonderBat (thats a Simpsons thing).
So the bloody yarpies won the World Rugby Cup. They are gonna be IMPOSSIBLE now. They seem to think they are the best cricket team in the world n now they can claim to be the best rugby side. sheesh. Boring as snail shit game wasnt it. IRB HAS to change some rules. Basically eliminate penalty goals for most offences. Make them kick for touch or have some sort of take a tap forward AND BLOODY PLAY ON. NOT a single try was scored in the final of the premier rugby competition. Not one. Unreal. They wonder why rugby is in trouble. From what I saw this weekend Rugby League has NOTHING to worry about. League has tries, manoeuvre for position, BIG hits and fast big men going full on. Makes AFL look like a game for gay seals.
bah Im going to go look at flashyourrack.com lol

wooop woo woo wooop (Dr Zoidburg)
Well
On the cusp of another outright victory at cricket this week.
And not as stand in captain - captain from the gitgo this match.
We bowled north Richmond out for 88 (captain taking 1/10 off 4 overs of beguiling finger spin lol what a bowling change!!!)
We went in to bat with 90 minutes to stumps and are now 2/98 (ish). I intend batting for another 90 - 120 minutes on Saturday. I've told the team my intention is to declare at around 200 odd runs - a lead of 112. As I now have my other opening bowler (he was wayyy late last Sat n couldnt hence bowl for some 34 overs) I expect to roll Northo for about 60ish. I wasnt too upset with him - he had to come from way out west of NSW -was good that he came to cricket at all. Our opening batting pair got us off to a good start too. Team mate from last year, Sascha, hasnt held a bat since march, is still in, unbeaten on 25odd. Good stuff. the young guns are in next, Young Ben, 71 not out against Schofields last week (2nd innings) off 12 overs, is in next, then praps me (Mr steady, I don't belt it to all corners but if it is there to be hit I HIT the damn thing , limited shotmaker though much to my dismay). The young bloke in with Sascha at the mo is a goer too. He hits it hard n straight so with the batting currently in and what is to come i expect to get the 200ish I want in short order. I don't particularly want to bat twice in this match.
I received my Renault Alpine model from Espana today. yay fer me. I promptly celebrated by ordering some Peugeot bike frame stickers from USA. Should be good either A on my racer or B if i get another Peugeot to restore, on that one.
Zena the lab has discovered she loves it when I get the KHS out - as I take her with me. She loves running like a mad thing round the block, stays on the footpath n blasts along trying to keep up with me. As i have that cursed arthritis thingo Ive found riding the mountain bike much gentler than trying to walk 30kilos of young eager labrador - to get the same exertion level as a lap round the block and a bit of a squirt down the bush track (mebbe a kilometre all up n easy on the bike) Id have to walk her about 6 or 7 kilometres which is ok distance-wise but troubling when you factor in the muscle bound exuberance of a certain young labrador. She can quite easily pull me off my feet. The last time I walked her (as distinct from 'going for a run' as we call it)she actually bashed into my bad knee, then wrapped the lead around it while I was hopping about in pain THEN trippewd me with it while acting all concerned cuz I was in pain. It was clouseau-esque to say the least. Felt like a right dip. I thought Billy was strong. He had nothing on Zena. Scares me a little. You can see the muscles in her flanks ripple when she runs or decides to pull on the lead. No fat lab this one.
We took her up to the Colo River last week. She haw never been in water b4 it seems. Got the hang fast enough shall we say. Had a great time.
We tried to leave Micro box up there too. But he wouldnt wander off long enough. Micro Box is my friends' 12yo son. So called cuz we were at cricket practice one day last season n he was due in to bat. So he went looking for a box, a genital protection device we blokes wear to save the goolies, as a cricket ball is NOT your testicles' best friend. He ferretted about in his dads' kit for a bit then held up a normal average sized box (AKA hector protector) n asked the entire world 'don't these come in any smaller size???'I couldnt believe he even THOUGHT it let alone SAID it out loud. We near died from laughing. So now he is known by the entire cricket team as 'micro-box' Heh.There microbox ya happy? I mentioned you. Now you can have your purple straw. I'll tell THAT story another day (it involves a nice Macdonalds drive through girl thinking microbox was autistic n liked the purple straws the frozen cokes come with... cuz I told her that...well.. thats the story i suppose.) Cept now the young fellas in our team keep offering him a purple straw lol. God 12yos are good value to tease.
I found 5 bikes being given away on the side of the road the other week. It is beginning to look like the racers are mating with the mountain bikes in the garage lol. Theyre all repairable too. Ima keep one mountain bike to take down to the gurls parents place as a rider for down there. The rest... dunno really.
there kassi
read it n weep
least when I comment its a bloody essay not 2 sentences n an exclamation mark (I know been reading lisas tomes too often)
