Hello and welcome to another week of the SLF. What a great rain we enjoyed over a four or five day period last week. Could this be the perfect season that is unfolding in front of us, it has certainly got off on the right note, early start with follow up, a dryish winter. All we need now is a wet spring to fill all the dams and the creeks and also to finish off crops and pasture.

I had-a-hit on men’s day at the “Royal” last Saturday, I certainly didn’t set any records but thoroughly enjoyed the outing. The Wallaloo number crunchers reported that they had an acceptable tournament with the weather probably keeping a few away.

There are some strange animals creeping into the district as I found out on Saturday. I spotted a Peter the Panther, Gary the Goanna, Shane the Shark and Don the Dinosaur. I’m told the creatures are the creation of a bloke called John “Be My” Guest. They are works of art made from spray drums and anyone passing by should have a look.

The lads from Hamburgers (Harbergers) took a bus down to the footy on Friday night to watch the Cats and Bombers. You wouldn’t guess (or you probably would) who won the pooled prize of $250 for the first goal scored. Yes it was SLF favourite Norm “Guru” Duxson. Doesn’t miss much the old Guru.

I’m told the bus returned at 3am with Guru and Chris “Entanglement” Webb looking a bit bleary eyed at golf on Saturday. I’m positive it was lack of sleep.

Sam “Slammin” Reading and his wife Lauren are the latest members of the public to move to the thriving metropolis of Callawadda, he moved into Ray Walter’s old house a couple of weeks ago. He mentioned that he will now be able to stay a little later after golf, which would music to Laurens ears!!

Speaking of Callawadda, I see where Balquidder Station in SA sold for a reported $25 million to leading media owner Kerry Stokes. The McGregor family was the seller, I’m just wondering if Murray “Muzza” McGregor has been hiding something form us for all those years!!

The excitement is building for the footy reunion as reported by Gary “Larry” Cameron with plenty of people indicating that they are going to attend. I’m wondering if premiership coach John “Duck and Weave” Drum will rekindle the “Leroy” story. You will have to be there to find out.

Speaking of Larry, he cleaned up at the golf on Saturday with his overly generous handicap of 15, he is defiantly a single figure golfer and I think he ought to enjoy his moment in the sun as chief handicapper “Golfer” Reading is about to slash that number down to a more realistic figure.

Good to see Trent “Irons” Carter with a new 1 wood, he like many of the younger brigade can give it a real rip but he mentioned he is having trouble controlling it. I will still call him irons just in case he throws the new stick into the Wallaloo creek.

The person who owns the pornos hasn’t come forward yet, the finder told me that he has read them all and would be willing to return them to the rightful owner. So if you own them come forward, I sure this little struggling journo won’t report it, not!!

A quote for this week: There are a terrible lot of lies going around the world, and the worst of it is half of them are true.
