A few weeks ago Bone Doctor stayed after a doctor's conference and then drinks and socialising afterwards. She arrived back here after I had gone to bed. I left her notes on a small notepad. I would just put the original here, and while I don't have much shame in life, I am ashamed of my wobbly handwriting, so I'll just type it.
Note 1: I meant to leave you a wee dram (Scotch) to help you sleep but alas it disappeared. Sleep well, and see you in the morning. There is some port on the trolley.
Note 2: Chuck over the side of the bed whatever pillows or stuffed toys you don't want and cuddle the toy you do like.
Note 3: If you are hungry, take an old age pensioner's meals on wheels sandwich from the fridge.
Sister called last night, right as the 6pm tv news began. She has no respect for the life of her older brother. She and her wife will stay next Thursday night before going to a football match at 10.00am, scheduled to suit American tv audiences.
Let me investigate. NFL, what is that? The NFL's first-ever regular season game in Australia will be played at the iconic Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) on Friday 11 September 2026
The Los Angeles Rams will play against the San Fran Cisco 69ers 49ers. I still don't know what NFL is. National Football League? Yes. I will guess this is the slow football with players wearing a huge amount of protective gear. I've seen bits of it on tv, and it's even less interesting to me than Australia's own football and soccer. How can you identify a hot and sexy football player in such garb, and helmets, whereby you can't even see their faces.
Different strokes for different folks.

Your second point made me grin. Be well!
ReplyDeleteLooks like he has a nappy on. There was an article about the strict rules for attending the game.no food or drink being the first. They can expect bourbon, burgers hot dogs root beer, whatever that is and other US food products ..
ReplyDeleteQantas has sent a plane to collect them! Don’t they have planes in the USA.?
The plane was chartered for the teams to travel but who is paying? Us? The no food and drink is interesting, although you can take in an empty water bottle and fill it inside. Is root beer sarsaparilla? I dunno.
DeleteThat's so kind of the NFL to agree to have a game staged in Australia. I am sure that it has nothing to do with money. Will you be supporting The Rams or the 49ers?
ReplyDeleteThey all look like hunks when they got their NFL gear on.
ReplyDeleteIf you like that look, Kirk.
DeleteYou are supposed to focus on the game, not the individual players, then perhaps attend an after-game booze-up and select the "man -of-your-dreams" Ha Ha. Another way is to look up the team online and see all the players in regular clothing.
ReplyDeleteEven for me River, cross referencing is a step too far.
DeleteNot a football fan! I can’t get my comments to publish suddenly on my pc but they will on a friends device.
ReplyDeleteWorld wide problem, as we now know Strayer.
DeleteI love men in proper sports uniforms, but not in singlets, helmets and ugly pants
ReplyDeleteSummed up nicely, Hels.
DeleteYour second point made me smile.
ReplyDeleteI thought the comment about taking an OAPs sandwich was funny. My mum is on protein supplements which she gives to my brother. I find that similar but less funny!
