My young lad and his buddy gets to be the waterboy for my local adult team tonight …it is the highlight of his week. A team full of teenagers and lads in early 20s they give him so much respect and engagement… they know the score… a highlight of my week watching it as sad as that may be

My young lad did it for our third team. He came off the other week saying ‘Dad, 13’s hammer is fucked’

The barter economy.
I tipped into my mate Luca earlier today across the road as he wanted some advice on his vegetable garden. I’ve been throwing a bag of Silverbeet, Parsley , Broccolini and such into him and Jackie practically every week over winter.
I brought over some Tomato and Eggplant seedlings for him.
Before I left he says you’re not leaving empty handed. Luca’s a wine merchant so he gives me two bottles of very good wine and a six pack of this Tasmanian cider he’s promoting. I’m not a big cider drinker, but is great tack.
I give him vegetables, he gives me wine. And we piss ourselves laughing the whole time telling tales to each other. We’ve played football together for 8 years and our sons are best mates. It’s a great thing when you have people that close right beside you.

Not sad at all. It’s a fantastic thing when the young lads get to engage with adult teams. They absolutely love it.
When Fitzy jnr was at the Central Coast Mariners academy he was ball boy at John Hutchinson’s testimonial match (Hutch was a long standing captain of the Mariners). He trapped a ball going wide and so impressed were the players, they brought him onto the pitch and he played 5 minutes with a host of A League stars at 12 years old.
Earlier that season he was ball boy at an AFC match between the Mariners and Gzhganzou Evergrande. He retrieved the ball at one stage and handed it to the Evergrande manager. Whose name was Marcelo Lippi. I was in tears.
Himself hadn’t a clue who he was.

Did the vegetables die?
That’s not the wine he gave me. This Jacob’s Cteek is a very nice wine.
I’m sorry for you that you have to instantly go to a negative.
Baron Didsbury drinks claret.

The age friendly parking spaces in Fingal. Particularly the one directly outside Howth Dart Station. Might be the best parking space on the peninsula.
How is that policed? Or is it a honour system?
