Booked it Dano!
77 Days to go ….
11 weeks today – thats less than 3 months …
Another week at hh down (yeah!!)
Its been a funny old week – individual days seemed to drag – but suddenly it was Friday again … just hope the weekend doesn’t go as quick!
And its not been the best week for working in the catholic education sector in this town with rumors of closure, merger , disappearing from the face of the earth doing the rounds … lets just say there’s things afoot and some people may know more than they are letting on :? ( Not Me !) … and we’re still stuck with the worst education secretary of the whole of my career in charge of the DfES … (some people just can’t take the hint can they Mrs B? Maybe she and chocolate factory are related !!!!! 
)
Plans for the MKM Visitation to these fair shores are well in hand …
have sorted out the first week – all booked!
Can’t say much as the ‘gentleman’ :P in question does read every word I write …
but I think he’ll approve …
And I’m going to sort my flight to Auckland today …
(no my penguin headed brolly doesn’t do international travel!!! 
)
The Warriors were in action this week playing the Lobby Gobblers of Leigh in a ‘friendly’ (in its loosest sense) My on the spot reporter ‘Missdougall’ kept me up to date with scores … and player ‘performances’ …
Kris Rads seems to have take our ‘break up’ badly … didn’t play (which explains why they got a try!) bless …. :)
but ‘Missdougall’ and me are now the ‘Official’ Wagga groupies … anyone else can get in the queue …. ;)
The verdict was … Captain Lockers was fab, Fecca played well and Logan is wonderful … from the neck down !!! (Yes we women know how we like our rugby!!!!) and Wagga was a star …
There’s another friendly coming up in the next week or so which will have ‘Missdougall’ s loyalties divided – Mr Wild (as featured on my pic page – Oh her face when I ‘hussied’ him! 
:) ) taking on the Warriors (not by himself …) in Kris’ very delayed testimonial game … but thanks to not even thinking about me its another game I can’t go to 
and yes I’ve learned a few more ’smilies’ … impressed Mr M ????

Oops, wrong choice of words, I’m for it now…
Of course I’m delighted to be going to these esteemed social events and honored to be invited. I’m sure we’ll have a great time and I’m looking forward to meeting your bestest buddies (and getting all the inside info from them about you).

Umm, err, let me explain. “dragged” is a Kiwi phrase that you may not have heard over in the UK. When someone says they are being “dragged” to some event it means that they’re really keen to go and wild horses couldn’t drag them back from attending the event.
Although this may seem strange usage of the word “dragged” it actually makes perfect sense when you know that many Kiwi phrases employ opposites. So I’m not saying that you are “dragging me” somewhere, I’m actually saying that “you couldn’t drag me away” from somewhere.
Makes sense now?
