EDDY FATHER AND DAUGHTER IN SPORTING TRIUMPHS

Last Wednesday, which some of you know may know by its other name - April 16 - began a new indoor soccer season. FOB United returned from a period of intense training to take out the first game in an absolute nailbiter. This was a game with everything. People kicked goals. Other people kicked goals. The ball was passed around a bit. Sometimes it went out the side and had to be thrown back in. And didn't the crowd roar with excitement? Didn't they? Are you sure?

"Good start to the season" is what I imagine you to be thinking right about now. Of course we won the first game last season too ... and enough said about that.


Jesamine also recommenced netball the Saturday before last - go Gems. They didn't win the first game back, but they did win the second. That's a short-term success average of 100%!

And to celebrate - I opened Photoshop for the first time in
many many long months:



I also built a playground for the kids on the weekend. Suzy bought this just before Christmas, and it's been in boxes in the garage ever since. I looked at it some time ago, and suggested to Suzy that, being designed as it was for 3-8 year olds, it may not be entirely appropriate for our somewhat more mature children. I was assured it would be fine and was, shall we say "encouraged" , to just get the bloody thing built. So, four hours later, it's fully assembled - and barely supports the weight of our kids swinging on the monkey bars, and doesn't really accomodate them within the cubby. So it'll now go into the paper to see what of the bargain retail price we can now recover.

Love the layout, very impressive! I did something similar for our sporty nephews birthday card last year...hmmm you're wondering which nephew that would be... anyway, I am well impressed! More, please...

Your children are mature? Not sure anyone has ever said that about 'Konnick', bless him...

Hmmm you seem to have done a bang up job on said 'play equipment'... I home the buyers appreciate the effort too...

Oh, bout time you linked me and all the MAC girls... you don't want to piss us off do you? We are a gang, after all....
