Welcome to another edition of the SLF, I hope you find this edition interesting. On a sad note my team lost the cricket grand final in the last over of the day. The main support for our team came from a few natives and ex natives, there were four Nisbets, “Larry Cameron” (Gary Cameron) and “Smacka” (Stewart Macpherson). As you may have guessed the above mentioned were in fine form throughout the day and later into the evening with one big ex shopkeeper keeping the boys entertained late into the night with his outlandish statements.

“Chip off the old Block” (Andrew Nisbet) won the belt for the weekend and was completely outclassed by his old man.

Larry Cameron was doing the right thing by his mother the other night and offered to take “Jack” (John Cameron) home to "save her a trip in". Jack was happy until it got to about 7:45 (way past Jacks leaving time and close to his bed time) and Larry eventually went to the car and found that the keys were locked in the car. Jack eventually got home by one of the bars patrons, but Larry's offer to his mother to "save her a trip in" didn't eventuate as she had to make a trip in to deliver the spare keys to the car.

Same night after the wetting of the head of young newborn Jimmy Duxson, Rostron patron (Son of Afer) Reuben Cheesman, had a few problems with his brand new Green tractor. Son of Afer was heading home from the field days and picked up his tractor and boomspray from the Burrum property and proceeded to the local for a few frothy’s. Son of Afer is a very proud green tractor driver and boomspray operator so he decided to park the tractor right outside the front of the local, in the view of all. With Reuben settling into a few frothy lights, and full intention to steer the big green tractor home, he has done a Lance Whitnall (didn't know that it was that late), and decided to take the back roads. This brand new big shiny green tractor didn't want to start, so the local publican “Blue Can” (Leigh Foster) has gone off to find a pair of jumperleads. Larry Cameron, with his car now opened, has mounted the kerb in the front of the pub and provided the power for the jumperleads and Son of Afer’s big, new shiny tractor. All to no avail as the big green tractor did not want to start and Son of Afer had to head on out to Glendemar for a nights sleep and to devise a new plan on how to get the tractor started.

“Be my” (John Guest) may not be heading to too many Golf tournaments this year as the prolific traveller has just lost around 12 demerit points. The latest one for speeding near the St Arnaud aerodrome.

“Winebar” (Nigel Slee) was seen in the pub the Saturday night before the Wimmera Machinery Field days. Having had a few he confidently predicts that “I will be shifting a lot of gear over to the field day site tomorrow, as the police don't work Sundays”. Famous last words because the next day Winebar is caught by the local patrolling policeman and handed a significant fine.

Did you see the McGregor’s in the Herald Sun on Saturday, they featured in a whole page spread and it made very interesting reading. One such quote from “Old Sock” (Jock McGregor) made his brother “The know all” (Sandy McGregor) laugh, he quoted that they only got 400 tons of grain last year when in fact it was 900 according to The know all. I think “Old Sock” was playing up (or down in this case) for the media.

Smacka tells me that he had to give up jogging down the road because Glenorchy natives kept pulling up asking if he needed a ride.

That’s all folks.
