Another week
Welcome to another week of the SLF. Today I am writing this from 30000 feet as I make my way to Perth for a (bad) Journalists convention, whilst there I might even call into the cricket for a day or two.

Up up and away
In two weeks time I will be heading to South America and if I can do it I will bring you an Argentine or Chilean perspective. I am up with the lingo having travelled to that part of the world once before, I can definitely remember the important words Sevasa (Beer) and Vino (Wine), there’s not much else I need to learn!

Open for business
Whilst travelling through the village the other day I noticed that a new café was open, the joint must be really going ahead! I’m told that a leading Marnoo East farmer even tried the menu. Who ever you are all the best and I am looking forward to the positive feedback from the natives.

A much needed win
The MCC recorded a sensational win at Wycheproof last Saturday, having bold the home side out for 130 the Marnoo top order did the job with only one wicket down thanks to a brilliant 77 not out from opener Trevor “Junior” Pickthall.

Jacks back
I called in on living legend John “Jack” Cameron last weekend to see how he was getting on. He told me he is seeing a specialist about his crook hips and is hoping for some relief. “If that doesn’t work then just take me North” he said sitting on his back veranda.

Don’t mention the war
I’ve been gagged, a concerned contributor has asked if I can stop writing about this particular subject. I guess, because I can’t write about it anymore you will have to start guessing as to what I’m talking about.

Around the bend
I caught up with Peter “Crackers” Keenan in the local at Yarra on Saturday night and the bloke I was with introduced me as being from Marnoo. “Marnoo” Crackers said, “I’m still having nightmares about Marnoo” after he delivered a sportsmans night for the MCC and got caught late at night with a few consuming cricketers.

That’s all for this week
