Oxfam breakfast

Megan Thomson et al doing the oxfam 100km walk. Mick and I were on breakfast at Brookfield. A Canadian theme of Bacon, eggs, Pancakes & Mapel syrup was requested.

Jemma kindly made the pancake mix. Friday night.  Actually Jem and I watched "Apollo 13" and only after it was done did we start on the pancake mix.  We made 4x mix.

 Mick collected us at 6 and we were at Brookfield round 7. We noted the reserved red carpet dunny. Amazing what status money can buy. :)  (I thought it was kind of fun to have some sort of egalitarian thing associated with a fund raiser associated with the poorest of the poor.

While we waited, we checked out the Brookfield markets and wondered if we should have just bought the walkers breakfast and coffee although none would do pancakes as good as Jemma.

Grammar Rugby Football

As a impressionable young grade 8 boy I was herded off to the Gallery along with 169 other boarders where we were educated on the finer points of supporting our senior footballers.  We were taught the school war cry and a few supporters songs.

Who remembers

Grammar rugby football is renowned across the sea,
in many lands on many grounds we've played to victory.
Perfection is our aim through dedication to the game
as we drive from goal to goal

Glory glory hallelujah
Glory glory hallelujah
as we drive from goal to goal.
