The MCG on Boxing Day against England is one of the world’s greatest sporting spectacles. It’s hard to explain. If you’ve been there for an Ashes test you’d know what I mean. It’s special. 🏏 #Ashes

So for about the millionth year in a row we have gone to my father in laws for Christmas. My partner is running around preparing everything and nobody is helping. She also made most of the food, ruining our night last night and our morning. I don’t know why she bothers.

Home from work. I’ll be sleeping well tonight, I’m knackered. Funniest moment today: served a bloke in a wheelchair who used a touch type machine to articulate what he wanted. It took a while and it was complicated to work out what he could afford etc. At the end he typed Merry Fucking Christmas 😂😂

Every time I'm in a restaurant I remember Kevin McAleer's reply to a waiter who told him the Soup Of The Day.
"Where there any other contenders?"
"Um, no?"
"A hollow victory, then".

Most of you who know me will know that I had a close association with this man. We bonded over music, and subsequently went to many concerts and festivals together. When I saw this post, I contacted him and began asking questions, as I was shocked at what I read here. He has now blocked me.
Just letting you know that a popular Australia male poster here & on the bird site - who has connections to a well known musician - has sent a female friend of mine unsolicited explicit DMs without her consent.
She had not communicated with him before & is very upset.
Be aware that he does this.

Just survived my first official own catering gig - Xmas party at a local retirement village.
Few long days leading up to it - but people said nice things 😊
Entree - Main - Dessert - that’s a lot of plates!
