Busy Wednesday

We started off the day with going down to Carrum, which is on Port Phillip Bay.  This was to scatter the ashes of my ex-husband.   Because he didn't want a conventional funeral, there were only a few of my friends, one family from his baseball club and family.

It was a bit sad as when the Pastor asked if anyone wanted to speak,  no one (not even his sons) spoke up.  His mother, two sons and his wife, went out on the Coast Guard boat, and the rest of us walked down to the beach and they stopped just off shore and scattered the ashes.  We then went back to the Coast Guard (he had been a volunteer there) and had tea and biscuits. Then on the a local hotel and had lunch.....

Had our big fund-raising dinner as well.  I won the table raffle.  Which as you can see is a caricature.  This young man was sitting on our table and he is holding his father who also played with our team. Very good likeness.

Didn't take photos of the food cause it was a very busy night.  So either listening to the panels

One of the new recruits, originally from South Africa. Jason Johanssen.

 This is young Mitch being interviewed as you can see how like the caricature he is.

This is the cheque presented on the night.

These are two more guests.  The lady is a patron of the club (very rich lady) and the gentleman is the football manager.

Two more of the guests.  The theme of the night is Young Guns (new recruits) and Legends, (past players).


It is interesting hearing the young ones ambitions and confidence. It is also amusing to here the anecdotes from the past players.  Some of them very funny.

A good night, but not as financially successful as we had hoped.  Things are not good here at the moment, and people are being a bit more frugal that normal.

But still a very enjoyable night.  We can sit back and relax now.


Catch you soon.
