Actually wait, no, it's Thursday. But this week has been such a busy blur that I can't remember Monday and yesterday sure as sure didn't feel like a Wednesday. Of course that's the mornings, the afternoons are currently feeling like I just threw the clock in the freezer..
STOP THE CLOCK
Even after a long day at work and landing home circa noon ish, the three hours before I pick up the kids feel like six. And unless there's something keeping time or pace for me (an appointment, something printing on the 3d printer, watching a show I know is a certain duration etc) then things slow dramatically.
Earlier this week I wrote a tonne of words and redesigned a couple of things for my car blog Drive Another Day only to look up at the end of it all and discover barely any time had passed at all. Dinner felt like it was an ice age away.
In contrast each morning feels like I've blinked and jumped through the three hours from 6 to 9am in a heartbeat. I'm saying good morning to Lu and then the show is over and we're planning the next one. Or the weekend is here already.
Good thing I'm writing some of these moments down then isn't it? Otherwise everything would be a blur..
TIME TO UN-RETIRE
I thought on it, a sporting great who needs to un-retire and came up with The Little Master, Gary Ablett Jnr.
Why a cats/sun's player and not a former Richmond Tiger (the mob I support in the AFL)? Because not only have I met Gaz and seen for myself what a great bloke he was off the field but I've also seen him in action on it too and he was bloody good. He wasn't the biggest but wow could he move and had injury not slowed him down, he'd probably still be tearing the game apart.
Other suggestions from fans of the show included Mick Doohan, John Eales and Brett Kirk. Norm nominated a Manly Sea Eagles player who had 'legs as thick as tree trunks' while Schwatta when we talked AFL later on in the show suggested Mohammed Ali.
ONE HOT BURG
Not a chilli burger as first thought but a burglary in progress that happened earlier today in Wondonga. Some cretin broke into a Motorbike shop around 3am and was seen sitting on the bikes and trying on various helmets for size. They surrounded the place and found him hiding in the corner, not wanting to give himself up.
I wonder if he found the right size helmet before they nabbed him?
SECRET ALMOST TWO-THIRDS MILLIONAIRE
There's a guy in Yackandandah, self described as 'about a hundred years old' who just won 600k in the lottery. According to the article he's going to gift it to his family...he just hasn't told them yet. This weekend apparently it's go time.
That's going to be one family get together you're not about to forget in a hurry!
NICE DECADE FOR A WHILE WEDDING
80s Friday tomorrow and we're going to be asking 'What 80s song did you get married to?'
Sadly the brilliant 'Love rears up its ugly head' by Living Color is 90s and Elton's John's 'The bitch is back!' Is 70s.

I got married to Coldplay's Paradise so yeah, not even close. But looking forward to the jams people nominate.
Bring on the weekend, when we get there!
