Corner of solitude

There’s going to be either a phone call or none at all tomorrow that will determine how the rest of the year will turn out for me. If there is then I’ve overcome a major hurdle and if not, well . . . heaven help me.

Yes folks, I’m on the verge of glory. Tomorrow will either be fall on the sword or emerge triumphant. Wish me luck.

Jane McGrath the wife of ozzie cricket fast bowling legend Glenn has died earlier today. I found out at the start of today’s footy at shark park, when they announced that she had passed away in the company of her family at their Cronulla residence and we were told to hold a minutes silence as a mark of respect.

It’s very sad to hear that someone who is as compassionate as her (founder of the McGrath Foundation a breast cancer institute) dieing prematurely, at her age she should have been at her peak living life to the full.

I’m sure she was a wonderful person, a loving wife to Glenn and mother to her children. I feel really sorry for her children the most, as they are just old enough to know that she wont be coming back. But then again their age might be a blessing as they will have made fond memories of their mother and be able to remember them.

Queensland kicked arsed, and were too good, beating NSW in the second game of the State of Origin last night. And what a difference having Titan’s Prince in the side has made for Queensland, especially with Thurston not firing at club level and without injured maroons captain Lockyer. It gave us NSW blues supporters the blues.
