Big week in Tigerland ...
God, we need another one of them like a fat tie.
Where has the dignity in football gone?
It actually hasn’t gone at all, even though everyone keeps saying BYE.
Michael Leunig asked one of the big questions on a calendar a few years ago –
“What is worth doing and what is worth having?”
He opined that “It is worth doing nothing and worth having a rest.”
The test cricketers lost their lovely rest day twenty years ago or more.
The Bye is the closest this country comes to having a siesta and I’m lovin’ it.
It’ gives so much more than a public holiday.
Week to week it’s football you can rely on to move you through the guff and ungarglable-away tedium.
It’s just so lovely having the intention there – but no game scheduled to detail-out on.
Breathing space and perspective.
Meanwhile the queue outside the Tigerland Lapidary Superstore for Jade Eternity Rings is snaking out of control.
Must have ...
