Where Did That Week Go

   It seems only yesterday I was collaborating on a local Funeral celebration that was in fact last Friday, a full week ago!! In the meantime we've had our annual frantic meeting for Weekend Out (because too few of us join the longer term planning team for the event and are left with so much to do)!! It means we have lots of ideas about how to do the event differently and better but lack the people power to have the conversations and make the contacts to do it... don't get me wrong, the basics of the weekend make it brilliant BUT it's the 'ducks on water paddling below the surface' that makes it work and only the team of 3-5 know how hard that is... Move forward into this week and I've had a cold for the second week and needed to sleep for two days basically... no pressure!!
Still crook today but improving... it just pushes crate packing and equipment gathering back to the last minute so I'm not exhausted. Rant over!!
   What a week... Fraser Anning becomes a punchline for his awful maiden speech in Parliament. Sadly he reflects the views of too many Australians, but it's based on fear and 'getting it wrong' in a modern global world. Alongside that he united opponents in condemnation, but that's hypocritical given our policy on "stopping the boats" that doesn't... I see Anning's staffer has resigned, so it was his phrasing to add 'final solution' to the speech by the sounds...
   It's Bledisloe Cup week for Sydney... no chance of attending live with W/Out in a week and remembering how much better the Wallabies were 12 months ago BUT how the series got blown away in the first half go this first game... so important!!
Can Taf throw straight?
Do our second row stack up v Whitelock/Retallick?
Can we get on the front foot?
Can we not have any yellow cards?
Will Izzy have a breakout game?
Pocock?
Kurtley Beale, Man of the Match?
   So if I head out and work today will my energy go backwards or is getting into the sun and steadily doing 'just enough' a good thing? I'll let you know...
