Grrrrr

Telstra have screwed up AGAIN and completely cut our access to paradise.net Grrr. We have no dialup, no way to check email, and no email anywhere, even when I go from Mum's cos they won't accept my password. Stupidheads. I am going to call them when I get home and give them a piece of my mind. A grumpy piece at that. Good thing I drove Sam to work so I could pop into my work and use the internet. It's wierd being in a completely empty school. Nobody here but the caretakers and the guys building the new chem storage block. All too soon it will be all go again.

I just spent the weekend with a paritcularly nasty tummy bug. The doctor said it was Campylobacter, a common bug in "bbq season" :) I still don't know what caused it though, as I was the only person who got sick that I know of. Incubation takes anything from 1 - 10 days, so it could have been anything. Without being too graphic, I had bloating, cramps, and a speedy case of the runs for at least 3 days. I'm not quite back on a normal diet yet - sticking mostly to bread and fruit and other bland stuff. And I'm not allowed to swim till Friday! I did Monday's lessons from the side which was ok but not ideal. They managed to find a replacement for me for the next three days, but I'm looking forward to being able to get in the pool on Friday.

Won netball last night 35-18. Awesome. I shot 2 quarters and was super-confident for some reason and managed to sink quite a few. With Scott and Aaron we put on about 20 points in the two quarters. It was a good team game all round though - I think we had all missed playing over Christmas and were ready to give it our best last night. I think the other team could have done much better than they did - it should have been a much closer score.

Farewelled Leon and Laura last night - what a fine couple. Pity they couldn't stay longer.

You were shooting awesome. I noted it at the time. Very steady. I was shite. Best thing I did all night was get that 2 for the other team!

I think there was one guy on the other team who was a real tosser - arguing with the ref and complaining when he obviously didn't actually know the rules. You look like a moron when you do that. I was waiting for him and Morgue to come to fisticuffs :)

Hope you feel better soon! Been there and it's not pleasant.

Morgue and fisticuffs don't really work in the same sentence

I swear.... it came THIS close! Maybe not fisticuffs, but intentional shoving and pushing and standing in each others way and falling over....
