Oh we sang.....................and are smiling. 
Yes great for the percentage, it could mean the diff between 1st and 2nd this year.
Nighty nite.
watching the after match chatter in the rooms last night , it was interesting to hear that Waleed Aly used to be one of the Tigers mascots 
can just picture him in his Tiger suit
Good afternoon footy/netball/simply 'doing nothing' watchers 
Intermittent rain here so making the most of the soaked soil to 'relocate' some weeds to the green bin in between showers. Bucketing down right now!
Little comment about the football except to say I hope the Pies lift their score so that the percentages do not favour the Eagurls too much. Painful result for the Demons last night and reports of the after match melee say so much about supporters.
Looking forward to Masterchef this evening. In the meantime, catching up on news around the place and thought magpie (NOT Collingwood ones) lovers might be interested in this article about a leucistic magpie on the ABC website.

Sorry about the Dockers this weekend Laney.. but it could be worse.. you could barrack for Carlton like my mother does
we watched that Melb. match last night.. felt so sorry for Melbourne.. i was impressed with their team play and handling of the ball, they need to be more accurate in scoring though
I haven't seen the disturbance at that game yet, just a snippet on the news so far
Deb!
Your poor Mum ..... thank heavens it is just a game
I cheated tonight. Impatient to find out the results of Masterchef, I checked on their website ........ now I can relax and enjoy it
yes. my poor mother... we always stay away from from them whenever there's a Richmond/Carlton game on
those fires in Greece and Sweden. ... I've never even heard of fires like that in those regions... makes me wonder what's in store for us next summer.. our rainfall has been really low this winter
so many lives lost in Greece. tragic!
I have a niece holidaying in the Greek islands atm
Afternoon from a wet and windy WA!
Laughed with relief when the weather bureau man described the weather as 'character building' in that it hit around the time school students were being let out. My relief was occasioned by the fact that we did not have to be out in it ...... past that 'character building' phase
Enjoyed MC last evening - actually very surprised how Ben has 'grown' with his cooking. Still want Khahn and Jess to go to GF but it really does not matter (at least to us) as it has been a thoroughly enjoyable series.
Enforced 'indoors' has resulted in heaps being done around the place - at least with respect to paperwork. Might don the apron and do some cooking (thanks Freddie for your recipe) ..... musroom risotto later so figure a date loaf could be some occupational therapy right now.
Those fires in Greece are just horrendous Deb - so many lives lost and so many children in those losses. It will take a very long time for psychological renewal (if ever) for those surviving. So very sad. Good to know your niece is well away from that area Deb.
Hope all our friends are well. Glad we are not going through the building stages - more power to you all.

Catching up on the 'news' around the traps and having a good laugh
Some lovely humour around ........
Also saw this lovely clip of a duck being followed by 76 ducklings ..... so very cute but what a brood to have to look after 
Seems an appropriate song right now (if you like Johnny Cash's Folsom Prison Blues that is 
) with all the news of the prison breakout from Greenough Regional Prison overnight. One escapee still on the run ......
Hello lovely Laney
Your prisioners are breaking out and our screws are having
inappropriate relationships with the prisioners
I'm hiding here Laney - hiding from Richo because I just posted
another recipe on his chat thread 
Are
you getting lots of rain? We could do with a few days of good
soaking rain. I'm still dragging Mr F out for our walkies he will
thank me for it when he has a body like the Rock! 
There are some funny writings about Laney I read some last night
and couldn't see the screen for tears
