It’s no surprise that the June long weekend is often wet, but even so, this seven day forecast is just slightly depressing.

A message for all time
I had a very confusing message notification on my phone this morning, where for a single event the notification contained all three words “yesterday”, “today”, and “tomorrow”.
It took me a while to realise that it was an notification from yesterday about the tomorrow of yesterday, which is today.
Having worked all that out, I did indeed make it to the game today to see the Knights beat the Titans 34 – 26, including a great contribution from Nathan Ross, who scored the match winning try in the 78th minute. Well done Knights.

Birthday cat
Happy birthday kitty. Nine years old today. My how you’ve grown.
Spring semiotics
Spring has finally arrived with the last of my three personal signs of spring appearing this morning in the form of a black and white winged messenger from the sky. My three signs are:
- The appearance of green leaves on my mulberry tree.
- Being able to ride to work without wearing gloves.
- Being swooped by a magpie.
Broadfoot
I’ve just had five days of holidaying in Coffs Harbour. The weather wasn’t as nice as I was hoping, but at least it was warmer than Newcastle. One of the unexpected highlights of the trip was at the Coffs Harbourside Markets last Sunday. Visiting markets are not anywhere near the top of my list of favourite things to do, but on this occasion I had the pleasure of sitting down and spending an hour listening to the three piece band “Broadfoot“, who hail from the Mullumbimby area. I had a chance to chat with the guys after their set and buy their CD “The Sun Warms The Sea”. Fantastic.
Shark attack
I watched two rugby league matches this weekend. Yesterday I watched my son’s under 15’s team beaten by the Belmont North Sharks 74 to 10, and today I watched my local NRL team the Knights go down to the Cronulla Sharks 62 to 0, for a combined deficit over two games of 126 points. That’s one hell of a shark bite. Ouch!

Beau’s Nose
My 14 year old son is full of excitement having made his debut appearance on “The Footy Show” last night … for all of about one second as he jumps up in the background crowd, two thumbs up and right next to Beau Ryan’s nose.
