what a weekend
great drinkin weather, and the thermometre out in the pergola, it showed a modest 48 degrees
so we went for drinks early (midday)
then mid arvo the roo boy rings from work (the pub) and invites us up for a few, where rob and i took him up on such a generous offer.
during our 3rd i got sick of deano trying to convince me that sunraysia was going to win country cup, so i went and dropped $50 in a machine and for my good fortune, ripped out a quick $170. at that point we called it stumps at the gateway and headed back to our home strip.
back at home we then got straight back into the liquid, as one feared getting too dry in such heat, as the night went on, the crowd arrived, had a few minor hiccups (the bbq wouldn't light and i was starving), but rob being the excellent technician he is, managed to rectify that crisis.
then later in the night, the rooboy rocked up, luckily for me, with his new fiancee jackie, i must say that his new fiancee, looks more appealing than his old one rhonda.
whilst miss jackie was here, the rooboy was quite sombre, then everything turned for the worse. rooboy took jackie home and then came back for his solo performance. and my oh my what a performance.
the beams flowed quicked than i've ever seen, lisa popped a couple a shots into us, to try and up the tempo, it sure upped the rooboys tempo, he went on and on and on, talk about being an energiser bunny. i don't know how rob does it, i have never seen someone so beautifully use the in one ear out the other method better than rob
but then come the funniest thing, at stumps, the rooboy got up, and i tell ya, i have never seen something so funny standing vertically, 1 step right, 3 steps left, 2 steps forward then 2 back, he was in fine form, starting to slur and losing his bearings
even though the rooboy is excluded from chucky being nice to him for 3 months, the chucky for the first time in ages, decided not to kick a dog while it down
and still i can't win a sportsmanship award (what do i have to do)
then on sunday, rob decided to drop the titanic in the murray, where we took a nice sunday stroll up the murray, which just wrapped up another fantastic weekend in mildura.
happy birthday rob, 5 years to go, to your senior shield debut :lol: :lol: :lol:
