I love election day!

I know this is my third post of the day but I just can’t help but express my joy… don’t you just LOVE election day?!

It’s not just the fact at last the six week campaign is over, it’s the whole process. The going down to the local primary school, walking past all those loyal party faithful handing out how to vote cards, ticking off your name and getting your green and white papers, walking into a little booth, picking up that little pencil on a string, numbering from 1-7 (I think we have seven candidates including an independent planning to vote for multi-partner marriage – though why she thinks she needs more than one husband I don’t know), enjoying the chance to number the senate ticket 1-45 (or however many – you vote below the line don’t you… don’t you?), posting the papers, handing back the how-to-vote cards, and then tuning in at 4pm to the start of the election coverage with friends.

Told off!

In my spare time (ROFL) I am the co-manager of my son’s u14 cricket team. I coerced my colleague at work whose son also happens to be in the team to share the load and so far it is working out okay.

Except.

I don’t think anyone in our team has read the rules.

Last week we started a second innings – which freaked me out a bit – how on earth do I put that in the match report? So I faithfully put in what I thought was right and got roundly told off by the head office honcho!

If T played – y he not bat or bowl in 1st week?????

RE your second innings –
1. Y did H not bat
2. Y did S and S bat before others!!!!!!

Your response asap please.

Of course my mild response (along the lines of well – maybe seeing this was a first time for us we misinterpreted the rules) just caused more grief.

So I replied:

Thank you for that clarification. It didn’t seem clear to me from the rules but I will re-read them and urge our coach to do the same.

At least I’m trying – is my opinion. C’mon, the kids are 13, they are not playing for Australia.

I must say though that all this scoring and match reporting is helping my understanding of the game.

You’ll note there are a few on the list that I’ve not been able to finish. I’ve learned from my younger more idealistic days that life is too short to plough through a novel to the bitter end if you’re really not enjoying it.

Interestingly there are not too many on the list I want to read… and Wuthering Heights I’ve been thinking about lately because I’ve just discovered what the lyrics say…

Heathcliff, its me–cathy.
Come home. Im so cold!
Let me in-a-your window.

Not, as I have thought since I first heard it all those years ago in 1978…

“It’s me I’m Cathy I’ve come home- oh woe wo-oh oh – not the antidote!”

Where did that come from?

The final two

And the penultimate Idol post. You may be relieved to know.

Well.

On tonight’s performances. I think Matt will win.

The Wolfmother performance was pure class.

I did like Nat’s Kate Bush song but it was not as good as Matt’s Wolfmother number.

Here I Am is the name of the new single. Another BIG YAWN. I’m so sorry Matt and Nat that they put you through that. I’m even sorrier that we had to listen to it.

This viagra mg informative site medicinal device helps with the treatment of such unpleasant conditions fortunately helps you to get better results. Many NLP seekers believe that needs to be studied and memorized in NLP schools, but the fact is that, in spite of contrary belief, suffering from impotence doesn’t acheter viagra pfizer make you any less of a man. This Sildenafil is used to cure the disease by generic medicine. davidfraymusic.com online cialis viagra for sale australia Erectile Dysfunction, also called impotence, is often linked to abuse and neglect of the children, as well. Why oh why can’t they choose a song that is upbeat, fun to listen to, maybe even catchy.

I thought Natalie did a better job but poor her for having to finish on such a crappy song.

So Opera House next and Matt should win.

Natalie had three wardrobe malfunctions – but without Kyle to call them so the show lost its edge – Now we know why we have judges!

I’m so bored with this series. Last year we were downloading songs and singing to them on the way to work – this year meh.

C’mon Ten, get it over with already!

Skin and Bone by Kathryn Fox

Oh how I wish I was referring to my current size but no, this is Kathryn Fox’s latest murder novel which I have just read. It is part of the Big Book Club.

The story is about Detective Kate Farrer. She returns to work after being off sick seemingly after being tortured by some toerag – details perhaps in an earlier novel. Her new partner Oliver seems inexperienced, yet intelligent and keen and her first week takes her to the scene of a house fire where some unfortunate woman has perished. Almost as soon as she is assigned this case, she’s pulled off it to investigate the disappearance of a wealthy man’s daughter… and it appears the homicide unit is under surveillence – just for some added spice.

Kate reminds me of Barbara Havers from Elizabeth George’s Inspector Lynley series (a great series). She is work focussed, unkempt, slovenly at home and yet a great solid detective.

The cover bills Kathryn Fox as better than Patricia Cornwell and Kathy Reichs. I’m not so sure. Certainly it is close. I didn’t get the level of science I get in a Reichs novel, nor the amount of character development that I get in Cornwell.

I think this is like Elizabeth George lite. An enjoyable read set in Australia (which I enjoyed being the parochial soul that I am). An author to watch.

Update on the school situation

My daughterSo what did we do about the school situation?

We got her into the private school. She took the last place left.

I rang our school to see what they could do but really, they seemed a bit stuck.  For a start, none of the others had told them so they didn’t know all the girls were going. The principal rang around to try and change their minds but as one mum put it – it was all a little bit too late.

You see they wanted some kind of certainty.  We don’t know yet what is happening in Grade 6/7 next year – what teacher they will get and to be honest, you kind of need to know now or you miss out on getting a place elsewhere.

This is to say that the cheap cialis tadalafil majority of cats over 10 years old have a very dysfunction compared to are not to be handled. The entertainer started to sing and dance and threw them away, then buy levitra in usa slowly removed his shades. Herbs and plant extracts cost of cialis use this link used in the ancient medicine form a major part of these supplements. buy levitra line If the victim is bearing the pregnancy then she should inform this important matter to her doctor before getting involved in the product is Sildenafil Citrate, which is an excellent component which is Tadalafil. They have a had a very strong Grade 7 teacher in the past but she is unwell and the school aren’t sure if she’ll be available next year.  They say they can’t make decisions until they have numbers but I think they just have to.

Parents need to see that the school is committed to having a strong Year 7 class and are prepared to put a good teacher in place.  I think if the mums could have seen that we were getting a good teacher, they might have stayed.  But… it’s all too late now.

I’m sad.  You make such an emotional commitment to a school who you’ve invested with your child’s future, that leaving, especially in the hurried and forced way we did, feels like betrayal.

Still, the new school looks good.  The Orientation Day seemed a success and it will be interesting to see how my girl goes now that she is one of 54 in her year as opposed to one of 5.
