Another week
Welcome to another week of the SLF, I see where there was a fair bit of rain through Qld, NSW and Vic with Marnoo missing out in comparison to other areas. My question is does this signal the end to the extended dry period we are experiencing? Well there is talk of a huge flood down the Warrego which leads into the Darling which should fill the Menindee Lakes system and then flows into the Murray through SA. Wouldn’t that give big parts of the country a boost?

Brown rice, very nice
It rained in Yarrawonga all of Friday night, all day Saturday, all of Saturday night and halfway through daylight hours of Sunday Morning for around 2 inches. I cannot remember that happening for a very long time, maybe 10 or 15 years.

Slam it Sam
Outspoken AFL guru Sam “Slammin Sam” Kekovich has come up with a bewdy, he is suggesting we have Australia week instead of Australia day and therefore all fair dinkum Aussies can consume a minimum of 21 meals of lamb over that period. Sounds good to me.

Letts reaches milestone
Former NT and Kanya legend Goff Letts I’m told reached a birthday milestone the other day. All the best from the SLF desk.

The event of the week
The event of the week would undoubtable be Nigel “Winebar” Slee’s bucks show last weekend, reports are scratchy and they are telling me it was a tame event. The buck shows aint what they used to be, I remember when shows where scheduled a day or two before the event. Also bucks get of light these days as in the old days you would get tar smeared on the genitals or be thrown on a train naked and sent miles away. I will see what I can dig up during the week.

Engaged
I see where former Marnoo PS graduate Luke “Shiiddt” Healy has got engaged to his lovely partner Mel and they are having a big party to celebrate there engagement, I maybe wrong but it smells like something bigger to me!

Close to the action
My trip to WA last week included a visit to the WACA for the 3rd test, I have to say that the facilities are nothing on the MCG and it had a completely different feel about it but it was good. It was like watching from say Central Park, you where super close to the action and you could hear what the players where saying. I caught up with many farmers at the event non funnier than Mt Barker legend Bruce “Lefty” Wright who seems to control the members bar.
Washout
The cricketers had a washout and will play a one day game next week.

That’s all for this week
