Maybe in a few years I will get around to adding some content.

BLUE MONDAY

When you’ve your hands upon me
And told me who you are
I thought I was mistaken
I thought I heard your words
Tell me, how do I feel
Tell me now, How do I feel

Those who came before me
Lived through their vocations
From the past until completion
They’ll turn away no more
And I still find it so hard
To say what I need to say
But I’m quite sure that you’ll tell me
Just how I should feel today

I see a ship in the harbor
I can and shall obey
But if it wasn’t for your misfortune
I’d be a heavenly person today
And I thought I was mistaken
And I thought I heard you speak
Tell me how do I feel
Tell me now, how should I feel

Now I stand here waiting…
I thought I told you to leave me
While I walked down to the beach
Tell me how does it feel
When your heart grows cold

I am not Tiger Woods

Chris and Adam. As usual, the hire clubs were designed to fit the average man, and so I found myself making plenty of air swings from my high address point. Something I had never seen before - you had to carry a bucket of sand with you everywhere you went (I guess to replace divots).

Chris seemed to make all of the memorable shots - onto the island in the smelly water hazard. Into the pines above a guy’s head. Into the schoolyard (3 times). Each time incurs a 2 shot penalty and some kind of alluded-to disciplinary action.

Highlight: using Adam’s Driver and hitting the ball straight and long.

Lowlight: Having to wear Chris’s spare shorts because my jeans were classified as ‘cargo pants’ under their weird rules.

Near-Fatal Death March

Great North Walk which is listed as Medium. I think they average that out - most of the walk is pretty easy, but two early climbs are a bit of a bitch, and the firetrail descent as you approach Brooklyn is slippery with loose stones, a real test on your toe strength.

All up the 11.5km walk took us 4.5 hours, but we took our time, including a significant break for lunch after one of the aforementioned bitch climbs. The walk was very worthwhile with excellent views over Jerusalem Bay to the mouth of the Hawkesbury River, as well as a great view over the freeway and Brooklyn Bridge nearer the walk’s end.

I got home at 5pm, showered, and lay on my bed to stretch. I just woke up. I was exhausted.
