OXLEY UTD Football Club Quizz Night

Dan and I attended the Oxley Football Club (Soccer) Quizz night fund raiser.

A fun quizz.  I did not realise that we were supposed to bring food so we sponged off everyone else on our tables.

2018 SEQ Rowing School State Championships

2018 SEQ state champs.
 Started with Friday afternoon boat loading and finished with washing on Sunday.

 We had 4 Brigidine girls. Caitlin & Asha in gr9 Jemma & Jessie in gr8. Together they formed our gr9 quad.

To me the results were under par. It's hard to know what to say in these public forums. In my view reflected that we just need more time on the water both in singles and crew boats. The quad that had done so well at GCRASRA was well off the pace and a close inspection showed the timing to be a bit ordinary.

Caitlin and Asha had, I think, a really frustrating and disappointing weekend. Caitlin is strong and Asha really fit but it just did not come together. I felt bad for them.

Jemma and Jessie had both started well in their singles but faded in the second 500 so I was a bit apprehensive about the double. However somehow in the double they motivated each other to keep going and to cross the line in second place in the final. The All Hallows coach (Sponge) congratulated me and bemoaned :) that our girls had thwarted his plans for a 1 2 3 podium finish.

My hope is the girls can lift and focus and use this as a motivator to focus themselves on Rocky. I know that they are capable of rowing really well and hopefully we can use the weeks ahead to get that happening.

"They" have been pushing dirt around to make a rowing centre.  I describe the current landscape as the Wyaralong wasteland.

Jemma and I had had SEQ state rowing championships and got back to Oxley around 6.  Then we showered and changed and drove to West End.   Dan came with us. 

We enjoyed a nice cob loaf and sat around in the back yard and chatted.  We did not stay long because we were tired.   I think we left around 8:20 and went back to Calston Street.

Note the lack of furniture  :)

Tenerife Festival

Graham Thomas invited me to the Teneriffe festival.  Kind of interesting to attend a festival purely as a punter and also not knowing any techos.
