No, I haven't suddenly changed my AFL allegiance! I'm still the same masochist I ever was, and a member again for the first time in three years - I dropped out for financial reasons originally, and then, with all the upheavals in the intervening time, I hadn't got round to renewing. I've treated myself - my Christmas present, if you like - to an international digital subscription, though, so I'll be able to watch all my beloved team's heavy defeats next season! The expensive unlimited broadband that only K seems to use to its full potential will soon be getting a good workout!
The 'magpies' reference was to do with the old rhyme, 'one for sorrow....', and all that. I saw four of the birds together in the communal garden when I was getting ready to go to work yesterday, and, as most doubtless know, it's 'four for a boy'. But it was K who got the boy, not me. It seems that she's well on the way to being 'an item' with yet another cutie - she showed me his picture on her phone - in her year at school, and who lives all of one bus stop away from us. I'm so bloody jealous! But not really, I just want her to be happy, of course. Although I can't help thinking that I wouldn't mind a little bit of happy for me, too.
Love & best wishes to all

I hope your sports are enjoyable and may your team always win!
ReplyDeleteAt last there will be some eye candy around!
Peace <3

Hello Jay
DeleteIf my team win more than the four games (of 22) that they did this year in the forthcoming season, I'll be amazed! To say they've got a young and inexperienced team is a major understatement. But that's what being a supporter is, sticking to your team through thick and (mostly!) thin.
We'll see about the eye candy - K knows me all too well, and might want to keep her cutie out of my reach, even visual!
Love & best wishes
