Remembering PRESTAGS

Israel Folau - A Christian Man Of Courage

He puts so many to shame.

He is a free man. 

He kneels to God. Not to marxist anti-family baby murdering ideology.

All lives matter. Unborn babies' lives matter. Old people's lives matter.

Camping in lockdown, kitchen floorball

we put the tent up in the back yard. Lexi joined us as well.

the weather is very mild - 'Indian summer'.

amazingly wifi extended to the backyard so thygo was able to provide Spetz his ATGE breakfast [which as of the time of writing he has not touched ...]

Lexi curled up for sleep

Finally the big day has arrived...

With the shopping folk heading off, we can settle down to the true purpose of Boxing Day:

and then finally warmed with a dragon!

Merry Christmas from Python and Family

Moon post to show I am still alive

 low resolution for the web but you get the idea.

 INow Patrick is playing Ice Hockey I desire other lenses too - 'fast' glass for the low light.

 

Well done Australian cricketers!

I don't believe it, but we can beat England. Well done to Mitch Johnson, my pick of man of the match, with an important 50 in the first innings and 9 wickets in the match. I also take my hat off to David Warner for finally living up to expectation and Michael Clarke for keeping it all together (and a useful century).

It is a delight to be able to listen to a match and not have to find a a sliver lining at the end.

Father and Daughters Time

Certainly more sedate than PythonMagus' father and son time, this afternoon was father and daughters time.

Unfortunately #2 is in HSC lockdown studying mathematics and history, so it was only #1 and #3. What does Sunday afternoon fun time mean? Horses of course.

There were no weapons and no simulated fighting, so the military analogy is more difficult. I can only claim preservation of the ancient art of cavalry, and some fresh air and sunshine. I cannot claim participation either, other than as official photographer. I like to learn from my mistakes, and the pain I suffered after a previous trail ride was sufficient deterrant for me.

And what was the best part of the horse riding afternoon? Arriving home and smelling roast lamb in the oven. Long weekends, you have to love them.

Real and Imaginary Hockey Stick

PythonMagus has been playing with his imaginary hockey stick.

How do I know that this hockey stick is imaginary?

Easy. You see Thygocanberra gave his famous hockey stick to me and not to the Python. And, I have the photograph to prove it. This hockey stick is almost as old as PRESTAGS. It is made of ancient wood, and supported by Thygo's famous yellow insulation tape. I understand modern hockey sticks are lighter, and made of exotic materials like aramid (kevlar) and carbon fibre. I prefer heavy and old.
