Marty's Most Excellent Adventure: Greetings my most excellent friends. Have just spent a lazy Saturday afternoon on the couch watching the races from Caulfield and contemplating a future bereft of meat pies, veal parmas and large pizzas. Yesterday, just one day after respected Medical Journal, the Herald Sun posted a front page article labelling lap banding as downright dangerous I found myself in the operating theatre of "The Avenue" hospital in Windsor having that exact procedure. Thanks to all of you who have left messages of concern and support - it is really very nice of you and quite touching - there, I said it. I now face two weeks on a liquid diet, the first week of which will be spent on the couch watching dvd's. I am walking around okay and only feel pain when I bend over. (no need for Mr Humphries type lines in reaction to this). My future will consist of having the ability to consume the same amount of liquids as always - but a vastly reduced capacity to consume solids. No I do not intend to put snickers bars into blenders - just taking the advice of my doctor who, at my mid life crisis full medical, recommended this (he also recommended a colonoscopy which I reluctantly agreed to as well - again, no Mr Humphries lines here please). I have procrastinated over having the procedure this since August. I only paid up the fee two weeks ago and hey presto, thanks to full hospital insurance cover, the job is done. So if you are in the area over the next week, pop in for a movie, a cup of jelly or a mineral water. I hope to be up and about as per normal in a fortnight. In the meantime, I am meant to start going for short walks from Monday - and will get re-acquainted with my bikes within a month. Despite the presence of 5 fresh stab marks in my stomach, I am not in much pain and looking forward to being back on solid food. Thats enough for now. Hope to catch up with you all in the near future. Slim Vana |

Just
a quick summery of the meeting boys. There are 7 leagues of 8 teams, we are still in D grade. We now play saturday one day matches with the exceptions of Cox plate and Derby days, where we play Sunday (well done whoever organised that) Everyone is meant to have a responsible scorer...Hilarious Scores to be sent in by text after the game and containing 5 wickets or 50 runs Registered players and internet updates by tuesday All rules in Scorebook ie no yellow handbook Phil from Sacred Heart now on the committee, which is good news and want to play for a trophy every time we play them. So we have to think of a name for man of the match and the trophy Bill's hair is still full and white There is a $500 kit as a prize for the team that conducts itself within the spirit of the game in regards for hospitality, scoreboards, dress etc. Supposedly this has been the case for the last few years so i am surprised we haven't received this prestigious award. It looks like we are playing at Fawkner 4 vs reds Sunday morning at 9am, which really means 8am as daylight savings starts Sunday morning. BBQ in shed at Herring and covered in mould yet playing in Fawkner so no stress as yet. I have a box of Balls + 2 extra for teams that participated last year I have the Scorebook. |
