The fuel light on my own energy tank is flashing madly and Lu's about ready for the sick bay (if we had one). Meanwhile Jeff Goldblum watches on comfortably from Studio 2, completely nonplussed about anything.
IT'S THE SAME OLD STORY
Breakfast announcer goes to bed at a reasonable time - 8:30pm. Breakfast announcer tosses and turns for an unknown number of hours and late in the night/early in the morning, starts coughing. Next thing breakfast announcer is having a punch on with his asthma for a solid hour and by the time the alarm goes off, well you can imagine how thrilled I am to get up and face the day at that moment.
But as they say, misery loves company and Lu wasn't feeling too crash hot either on account of a cold that made itself known at the start of the show and attempted to rob her of her voice across the next three hours.
But hey, we got it done anyway - busy show, lots of guests, lots of prizes, plenty of 80's jams (It's Friday of course) and Jeff next door watching on in the dark when we finally got across the finish line.
SO, WHAT'S HE DOING THERE EXACTLY?
It's an announcers trick from ages back - when you open the mic and talk, you're to imagine you're talking directly to someone one on one and not addressing a crowd. Having a picture of the panel of someone to talk to makes this a whole heap easier. Usually it's a friend or family member but new recruit Leisha has decided to go one better, which is why Jeff is there.

CLEAR OUT THE GARAGE
Or in this case, many garages. Because Jindera, the town that had the swap meet a few weeks ago is getting set for one of those Garage Sale Trail type of days on Sunday. Which means you won't find a few, all going well there should be close to 100. And after not being able to host one of these for quite some time (thanks again for nothing Covid) you can just picture the insane rabid garage sale fanatics camping on the streets at 6:30am ready for the 8am start.
I'd join them if I wasn't so focused on saving money in increasingly expensive times (thanks again for nothing inflation)..
Also I don't think you're likely to find a tank jet engine like last time I was there but hey, you never know..
WHERE TOO MUCH SPORT IS NEVER ENOUGH
We chatted AFL, got into the Ovens and Murray Football/Netball League, ventured into the East Division of the NBL1 and found out that putting the fine money under Free Parking when playing Monopoly isn't actually an official rule, just a house one.*
*Yes I know that last bit isn't that much sports related but there are some very competitive Monopoly players out there so I'm going to allow it since we're giving away these babies:
WHEN WE RETURN MONDAY
It's the run to mothers day so we're giving one lucky mum the chance to win a tonne of stuff, we've got even more copies of Monopoly to give away, we're gearing up to find out if the reserve bank will raise interest rates (likely) on Tuesday and later in the week we get to chat to Diesel!
Phew, that's it for this shortened week, I'm off to nap!
Chat soon
