Glad he’s OK.
He’s a good cookie.

I have a mate.
Not a long standing mate but a mate who’s been around a lot the last few years just because our kids are at the same school.
But he’s a good one - feel like I’ve known him my whole life.
And he barracks for the Bombers.
He’s a plumber.
We’ve just had a path put in from the footpath to the front door. The mains water meter sticks out like dog’s balls right next to the path and close and to the footpath.
So I send him an SMS late on Sunday night and ask him if it’s possible to move the mains water meter in the front yard.
He replies straightaway - “Yeah - you can bury them out of sight in a pit - that’d be better”.
I ask him how much.
He replies “$20 usually”.
I’m like - yeah right.
So I get home tonight and there you go, not a Water Meter to be seen.
I give him a call and he says, “Oh I was just driving by and wouldn’t you know it, there was $20 bucks off Meter re-positions today!
There definitely are some good people in the world.

Playing DJ for Mrs Wim and her bestie over wine and charcuterie.
How good.
The secret sauce is that they’re choosing singles entirely from My collection.

That first song, every single copy of that recording, including the master, should be gathered together and crushed then melted. Possibly the worst song of all time.
At least you got it out of the way first, I suppose 
Wrong.
I don’t care that Grace doesn’t know what it’s about.
The meaning of the song is very very clear.
It’s about losing performance spaces in a city that helped create rock.
It’s insane that Grace doesn’t get that.
And it’s a genuinely good song, despite the memes.

I didn’t know there were memes and I’ve no idea what anyone else thinks of it. It was a massive hit IIRC but just one of those that really grated on me straight up. I admit I never listened to the lyrics enough to properly know what it was about.
It’s regularly nominated as the worst song of all time.
I rail against that. It’s not even in the conversation.
I don’t mind people saying they don’t like it.
But it’s not a terrible song, and it’s certainly not among the worst ever recorded.
I honestly didn’t know that!
And I don’t know who Grace is either.

A teacher of mine once said I’d never be any good at poetry because of my dyslexia.
Well, I showed her. So far I’ve made a coffee cup, a vase and two ashtrays.
