Wow, I just saw that the Bondi hero has received $2.5 million from GoFundMe. That's rather bloody amazing. Really happy for the bloke.

Also the other day I said that he didn't seem to be a person that had been trained for action, I am wrong as he has been a Policeman ( I think , or was it army ? ) So yeah, my mistake. Goes to show we shouldn't assume or judge.

Speaking of money, we had a Lotto syndicate at work and we won a few thousand between 15 of us. Just over $300 each so that's a nice start to the day. Cheers.

Edit. That was $330 between the fifteen of us.

That is our share out of a larger syndicate. Oops.

I thought he was a fruit shop owner, and never touched a gun?

Yeah I'm not sure. Well obviously.

Feels rather Muffy already at 4 am.

Tis Friday thank goodness. We are back in Monday Tuesday but then off until the 12 th.

How long is everybody else off for. I know some of you work in retail or hospitality. Not a big break for you guys.

Those pesky Curlews ( I love em ) are often out and about and on the roads at this time. ( Including babies ) I had to brake sharply at the beggining of my journey for one, then on the straight doing 60 later on I had to come to a full stop. It ended up like 6 inches from the front of my car.

Then it eventually flew off but in the same direction as my car and just a few feet up. Clown

Well, have a pleasant Friday everybody.

Today is my last day until the 5th, unless I get called for a broadcast last minute, I am so so so very keen for some down time, mostly just not waking to an alarm tbh 😂

Hey that sounds damn fine. A whole two weeks off.

And yes I hear you about the waking up bit.

I'm a bugger for staying in bed as long as possible though. But hey, I got no-one to tell me off or what to do so......

Have a lovely rest. Hope you get to have walks with sand or grass between your toes.

( Don't worry, I don't have a foot fetish. )
