Seven years ago tonight, my Mum passed away at the end of the first State of Origin game.
I thought of her tonight, as I do every year at this time. It's like a heavy wave of darkness that engulfs me, so that I struggle to keep my emotions under control, ever so briefly, and then the moment passes.
I'm a Queensland supporter and we've won the series for six years running. Tonight, we won the first game of this year's series (best of three).
Adoring Husband (NSW supporter) and I caught the courtesy bus to the pub and watched the game on the big screen with some friends tonight.
There was a rowdy crowd there and for a change, there were mostly QLD supporters there. Usually, the NSW supporters outnumber the QLD supporters, two to one.
It's great to be a Queenslander!
I picked up my beloved computer today and thank goodness it was a simple problem that could be repaired quickly and now all is right with my world again!
Tomorrow, I hope to go through all of my holiday photos ... well probably not ALL of them, but a LOT of them!
I was going to try to go to indoor bowls for the first time in 3 months tomorrow, but I think I might wait til next week and give myself all of tomorrow to catch up on work that I've missed while the computer was getting repaired.
So, before I head off to bed, I would like to wish my friend 'Woman of Many Talents' a very happy birthday. I'm looking forward to the birthday lunch on Friday and catching up ... it's been so long!
I hope that you've had a great day today!
I apologise for my brevity, but I'm all footballed out and the sugar high that I was on from the three cans of lemonade that I drank tonight, has now well and truly dipped. I need sleeeeeeeeeeep.
I promise photos tomorrow ... oh, here is one that I worked on earlier ...
