Stagtime

Cruising the South Pacific into the Coral Sea, somewhere over there is Noumea New Caledonia.

Gold Coast Queensland mate.

Lovely morning wake up Main Beach, Gold Coast.

They held their own, they must be nudging 70 by now.

Great day out, hard to beat Spiderbait live. Must have lost a few kilos sweating and I’m sure my hearing will come back sometime today, ended up right at the front.

Got to love the start of summer, Good Times festival today. Not really looking forward to the 35deg and high humidity though, 33 deg at 10.00 am.

I think the system we have works well, only try scoring is subjected and only if the ref calls for a review. The ref has to signal try or no try and any doubt will go to the refs original decision. As well the captains can have 1 on field review and if successful retain that view. Get it wrong and no reviews left, same as cricket reviews. All reviews are broadcast on the screens and video refs are miked up explaining their decisions (extra revenue as reviews are sponsored by KFC)

6 week UK trip booked for next year, leave Brisbane 28 April and 38 hours later land in Inverness. 3 days in Inverness then 7 days walking the Great Glen Way from Fort William to Inverness. Nothing confirmed after that but looking to stay somewhere around Derby for 3 weeks then head south.
