GO YOU GOOD THINGS!!!!!!!!

and what a game eh? We sat with our ears glued to the computer! Go the Steelers! I hope everyone enjoyed the game as much as we did. The Super Bowl is the only (free to air) televised gridiron game in this hemisphere so we must make it that far so I can see a Denver game.

ps happy TSH Uffda!

pps we know who ran the fastest
Ten T’ousand Svedes

Ten T’ousand Svedes ran tru da veeds
Chased by vun Norvegian
Ten t’ousand more ran to da shore
In da battle Copenhagen.

Vay, vay back in history
Back ven da vorld vas new
Norvegians searched all over
To find some snoose to chew.

Dey fished for Lutefisk and Torsk
It helped to make dem strong
And you and me, ve know a Norsk
Cannot do nutting wrong.

But Svedes and Danes were envious
Of Viking trips and raids
Da Viking shields and helmet horns
Made all dose folks afraid.

T’roughout da world da Vikings sailed
To Ireland and to France
Dey even found America
Vun afternoon by chance.

My Grandpa says, and he should know,
Da Svedes made up their minds
To beat da Norsky Vikings
And kick a few “behinds.”
But history, so my Grandpa says,
Shows dat da Norskies von
Dey clobbered all da Svedes and Danes
And made it lots of fun.

Ten t’ousand Svedes ran tru da veeds
Chased by vun Norvegian
Da dust from da veeds made snoose for da Svedes
And dey called it COPENHAGEN!

The Lucky Tent*

Just sit right back and you'll hear a tale, a tale of a fateful trip.... Our  adventure as part of the "Mooral Creek 9" Ok let's go camping at Mooral Creek for Fish's 50th  sounds good, may rain (always does when we camp) no big deal. Early departure from home Sat a.m. drop girls at Pete and Kylies place in Newcastle, take Pete with us and head for the countryside outside Wingham.  Tent erected and ready to go (other than being wet from the rain pouring in as we set up). and the day progressed (or perhaps digressed): the chair was just not made to hold 3 people! And the speech that set the wheels of fate turning.....                                            Sunday Morning View from the verandah at breakfast  Sunday saw the departure...

We pick up in the life of our hero where we last left him. The mother Gaforady dragon is poised to dive and tear the unconscious Logorian into food for her new hatchling (the last of this regal line). Can the young prince wake and save himself? He is the last hope for the kingdom of Coochlia, and all hope lies upon him to befriend the remaining dragons as much needed allies in the war against the Trougopians. Suddenly up over the edge of the nest rises the red head of.... OOPS sorry bout that wrong story. Right now where were we... ah yes July, and the winter school break.  All has been good here except the wind, and it has not been good. Indeed it has been the polar opposite of good. Fortunately we only lost power once for 3-4 hours, there are some now going on their fourth day in the dark.  Parts of our lovely Shoalhaven were actually declared a National Disaster Area (that makes 2 we have been in during the past month- see previous post). This is the "Sydney 43" th...

On the Banks of Plum Creek

Well, it was a successful fishing day. Sekaiya caught a 3 inch whiting, Tory had a good time, and I got in several hours of practise in the untangling of line, retying of hooks, and baiting of these same hooks. Upside being that it was enthusiastically enjoyed rather than the old "I'm bored, when can we go home?" so perhaps we can now do this on a more regular basis. School holidays finish with the weekend so back to the grindstone for another 9 weeks. I have a bit of work happening,hopefully I will get a bit more as well. We had our first "burning off" fire today with many more to come. Great winter sport: lighting a fire, throwing in a damper ,(we wrap ours securely in foil and cook it in ashes/coals) opening a beer and standing around, with the occassional shovel and/or raking activity taking place! There was no damper today, but hopefully with the next lot of fires. There are still a gazillion sticks to get into piles yet.
