One-eyed :-)

July 12, 2008

Christian:

I’ve only been born one day and, according to Mum, I’m already a one-eyed Collingwood supporter :-)

Typical Collingwood supporter - one-eyed!

Charles reckons I should keep both eyes on the ball, ’cause Collingwood beat Adelaide Crows today and that’s Dad’s team… uh oh !

Keep an eye out for Dad, Christian!

What do you think Charles, should we mention the footy?

Footy... what's that?

Nah, we’ll tell him a joke… he’ll forget about it… ’til Mum rubs it in :-)

Have ya heard the one about the two Crows, Dad?

Hmmm, Magpies 106, Crows 74; I think Dad’s done for… it’s three onto one Dad!!

Give up, Dad!

It’s all over, Rover :=(

Well, that’s it, I’m not watchin’ the footy again this year :-( Last night the mighty Magpies  just couldn’t edge past the Geelong Cats all night… put us down 13.14 (92) to 13.9 (87) they did!! Drive ya ta drink!!

Dad 'n me sinking a few cold ones!!

Go Collingwood… for next year :-)

Go you mighty Magpies... next year!

But Grandpa’s happy ‘coz Port’s gunna be in the Grand Final… he reckons they’re the Magpies too, so I should be happy… as if!!

Yee-har!!

Now that I’ve mastered the lawnmower, it’s time ta let Horsey know who’s boss! I saddled him up today no problems… with a bit of help from Mum :-)

Ride 'em cowboy!

Me ‘n Dad mowed the horse paddock yesterday, but I reckon it’ll be a while before Horsey’s ready ta head out there… it’s starting ta get pretty cool at night now!

Mowing the back paddock

Horsey looks pretty happy just hangin’ in here with me ‘n Mum :-)

Peace!

Uh oh; ya gotta keep a reeeal low profile ’round here today. Collingwood flogged Adelaide Crows yesterday; Dad’s not happy with ‘em… but me ‘n Mum, that’s a different story :-)

Peaceful eh!

Anzac Day clash

April 25, 2007

Dad reckons I dropped the lip after Collingwood lost on Saturday, and that’s why I had ta go to hospital… wrong! They let me out yesterday after two days of tests, and it turns out I’m lactose intolerant… so I’ve traded Mum’s conveniently packaged food for a special formula, and now no more tummy aches or reflux :-) Dad might have a point though, ’cause guess what… I’m good, and us Magpies downed the Essendon Bombers 95 to 79 in today’s annual Anzac Day match. The boys need some kicking practice but… 12 goals 23 behinds; shocking!

Now for some hot goss…

 Sooold

Yep, ya wouldn’t believe it, Mum and Dad sold my house… we’re moving out to Knuckeys Lagoon in a few weeks. Dunno how I’ll go living in the bush but Mum looks pretty happy, and Osama and Gucci’ll go nuts :-)  

‘Pie vs ‘Pie

April 22, 2007

Weeell… Grandpa’s pretty pleased with himself; me… I’m not so happy! Not only am I feelin’ a bit crook, in fact I’m gunna spend tonight at the hospital for a check into my broken sleep, but Port flogged Collingwood 84 to 66 on Saturday night :-(   We had ‘em, just, for three quarters and then they romped home.  Grandpa wanted ta bring his Port Power blanket and rug me up, but Mum reckons “Blah, don’t bring that in this house” :-) Tee hee… me an’ Grandpa tricked her…

Grandpas cool Port Power blanket

Pretty cool blanket, Grandpa, but it’s just not fair, ya know… Port Adelaide were the Magpies before they joined the AFL… fancy gettin’ beat by another mob of Magpies!!

Black (and White) Friday

April 15, 2007

Friday the 13th might be unlucky for some, like Tigers supporters, and we mighta took a battering…

Magpies never say die!

but check the smile… it was all good :-) , the mighty Collingwood Magpies made it through again. The scores were locked at 3/4 time, but at the final siren, when it really counts, we were 25 points up… yaaaay!

Just in case there’s any doubt where mine and Mum’s loyalties lie, how’s the new bib she bought me?!!

Number one fan!

Go the ‘Pies!

March 31, 2007

Mum took me for my first lot of injections yesterday… there was heaps, yuk! I felt like a porcupine after all those needles; last night was a rough night,  I tell ya. Check out those bandaids… ouch!!

 Check out the bandaids... ouch!

Today was heaps better;  we went to Yia Yia’s to see my first game of Aussie Rules on her TV… Collingwood vs North Melbourne! Ya might have guessed I’m a Magpies supporter, much to Dad’s disgust :-)

Dad loves my shirt... not! 

It was a great game, but ya had ta feel sorry for the Kangaroos… we sucked ‘em in by letting ‘em cream the first three quarters, then wham… we whacked on 44 points ta beat ‘em by 3 points, heh, heh :-)

Goal... another one!!
