Home with the fam

At the moment I'm home in Mount Gambier spending some time with my fam. Of course though because it is the Christmas/New Year period there is no cricket being played, so no Brown Caps news to report.

Clarkey, you're gonna love this, it will make your day

Well KD and I made it to the Mount safe and sound. It rained pretty much the whole way, and hasn't really stopped since. So guess what? The cricket has been cancelled, its a washout!!!! Not happy, we had been hanging out to watch some cricket and its a no go.

No Brown Caps for us this weekend.

Not Happy

Well it's now 2 more sleeps til I go home, and I'm excited, can't wait to see my fam and friends again, but you would never believe whats happening in the Mount tomorrow night, Twenty20 cricket, thats what. And I can't go 'cos I dont go home 'til Friday morning, spewing!!!! KD and I could have had a great fun filled cricket weekend if it was Friday night, oh well, at least we still get to see the mighty Brown Caps in action on Saturday, fingers crossed for a win.

RSS etc

I'm really liking the news feeds, I have managed to set up a feed with the local Mount Gambier newspaper "The Border Watch", I think this is great because now I can keep an eye on the going ons, and not have to rely on my mum to tell me all, it usually gets to me, but sometimes it takes a while :-). There are so many different library bits and pieces out there we can subscribe to as well that will allow us to see whats happening in other areas.

Technology related?

I dont know if this really counts as a technology related post but oh well. As you may or may not know I am going home this weekend to see my fam and friends, road trip with KD, yippeeeee. I was just thinking about this and thinking beauty lots of opportunities to get more piccis of Zac (you can NEVER have too many piccis of Zac, such a smiley little boy he is), which leads me to digital cameras.

I never really wanted a digital camera, loved the whole not knowing what my photos would turn out like til I got them developed, there was anticipation there. But I gave in last year and I bought a digital camera just before Zac was born, figured it would be easier to email photos etc if I had a digital camera, and I am so glad I did.

I now am a huge fan of digital cameras because not only can I take my pictures, but I can also take video footage, and I love being able to watch this back at any time. The only problem is that I either forget to charge the batteries, or my memory card fills up, so tonight I will go home and charge the batteries,and find my memory cards (I'm pretty sure Ive unpacked them and know where they are), and get it all ready to put in my bag when I pack.

Yay for digital cameras!!!! Lol

Mashups and stuff

Found this site that allows you to creat letters from Santa, ooohhhh very exciting at this time of year I know. Very easy to use, gives you the option to just fill in the blanks or to write the whole thing yourself.

So here is a picci I found on Flickr. I know, I know I'm sooooo far behind in my webolution. Thought I'd better get a move on though since KDs threatening to not let me come to the half way party.

So here is the Blue Lake in good old Mount Gambier. This is what Katie will be getting up at 6am (victorian time, so 5:30 am south australian time) to walk around on Saturday morning with Stretch, while I stay tucked up in bed, ha ha KD, threaten to make me miss the party, lol!!! It's not a true party without Shanksie there!!!

I tried to find pictures of the mighty Brown Caps in action, but couldnt find any on Flickr, can you believe it? Didnt really find any cricket ones in Mount Gambier, whats with that? Where are the cricket fans I ask you???

Countdown

So it is now 3 sleeps til I go home and 4 til I see the might Brown Caps in action. Heres hoping KD and I can bring them some luck for the second day of the match and hopefully get a win. Actually I didnt ask my BB how they went last weekend (first day of the match) how awful of me, what kind of little sister am I?

The countdown is on

So the countdown is on til I get to go home for a weekend and see my fam, and watch BB and the mighty Brown Caps in action. I havent been home since August so it will be really good to see everyone again, plus I have to take my Chrissy presesnts home so they dont take up all my baggage allowance on the plane at christmas time. So how many sleeps you ask (well I know you dont really, but Im gonna tell you anyway) 8 sleeps til I go home and 9 sleeps til I get to see the cricket.

Go the mighty Brown Caps!!!!!!!

Just for you Wosemary

Go the mighty Brown Caps Go the mighty Brown Caps Go the mighty Brown Caps Go the mighty Brown Caps Go the mighty Brown Caps Go the mighty Brown Caps Go the mighty Brown Caps Go the mighty Brown Caps Go the mighty Brown Caps Go the mighty Brown Caps Go the mighty Brown Caps Go the mighty Brown Caps Go the mighty Brown Caps Go the mighty Brown Caps Go the mighty Brown Caps Go the mighty Brown Caps Go the mighty Brown Caps Go the mighty Brown Caps Go the mighty Brown Caps Go the mighty Brown Caps Go the mighty Brown Caps Go the mighty Brown Caps Go the mighty Brown Caps Go the mighty Brown Caps Go the mighty Brown Caps Go the mighty Brown Caps Go the mighty Brown Caps Go the mighty Brown Caps Go the mighty Brown Caps Go the mighty Brown Caps Go the mighty Brown Caps Go the mighty Brown Caps Go the mighty Brown Caps Go the mighty Brown Caps Go the mighty Brown Caps Go the mighty Brown Caps Go the mighty Brown Caps Go the mighty Brown Caps Go the mighty Brown Caps Go the mighty Brown Caps Go the mighty Brown Caps Go the mighty Brown Caps.

Brown Caps go down, two weeks in a row

Well, I hate to say it but the Mighty brown caps were once again not so mighty on the weekend. The Brown Caps went down by about 6 runs in the end, damn!!!

This week is another week however, and Im sure the boys will be able to recover!

Go BB and go the Mighty Brown Caps!!!

Brown Caps go down

Well, as much as I hoped this day would never come I have to tell you that the Brown Caps went down on the weekend. Don't really know any of the details to tell you all about it (cos I know you're all so very interested) except they went down by about 40 odd runs.

So now that they've had a loss heres to the Brown Caps bouncing back again this weekend. Go the Mighty Brown Caps.

Big match this weekend

Well this week is a big week in cricket in Mount Gambier. BBs team (who by the way are at the top of the ladder so far unbeaten!) play the premiers from last year this week.

Follow this link to the Mount Gambier Newspaper "The Border Watch" to read all about this match. http://www.borderwatch.com.au/archives/1773

The countdown is on 4 weeks to go til I get to see the Brown Caps play, and I can't wait (can you tell). You never know your luck Clarky, I might even be able to get a picci.

Well thats it from me which means theres only one more thing to say

"Go BB and Go the Mighty Brown Caps".

Cricket, again

Another win to the Mighty Brown Caps on the weekend, they're on fire!

Go the Mighty Brown Caps

I know, I know so far it's all been about cricket and not the webolution, and guess what, it continues to be all about cricket.

On the weekend my BB's team had an impressive outright win, what a team of champs. Lets keep it going!!!

Stirring the pot

Heres an update for you Clarky :-)

Go the Brown Caps

Yes yes I know I have been a little on the slow side with this, but I'll get there eventually. It's Friday afternoon, hooray!!!! So once again a message for my BB. Great effort by all the Brown Cap boys, 3 wins in 3 grades last weekend, awesome!!!!!. Lets keep it going. So once again Go the Mighty Brown Caps and Go Moose.

Anyway thats enough from me for now.

Looky looky it's The Shanks

Hi all and welcome to my blog.

This blog is set up as part of Hobsons Bay Libraries staff Webolution program.

Today I’m feeling like a bit of a space cadet (those who know me will say that’s nothing new), so will keep this post brief.

This weekend is the start of cricket season for my Big Brother, so one thing to say "Go the mighty Brown Caps, and go The Moose"

Stay tuned for more fun and fascinating stuff from The Shanks.
