It has been a sad week with the passing of Lady Susan Renouf, the doyen of Melbourne Society. Of course I attended the farewell with the rest of the who is who of Melbourne society. It was great to catch up with my old University chums Andy Peacock, Bluey Walker, Bobby Doyle and Micky Kroger. And the cream of Melbourne's matrons were there of course to pay their respects

It was a marvellous farewell at Saint Andrews Church in Brighton and later on at the reception, well at least until the congenial atmosphere was somewhat sullied by the appearance of an unlikely character who I observed scoffing the canapés, sculling the bubbly and touching up some of the matrons, one of whom shrieked "what are you doing here DC?"

come to think of it, i did notice a shady character hanging around the fringes with a fake cuban accent chatting up some society nob trying to sell him a guava paste franchise. The poorly fitted rug had me fooled at the time. and i must say i far preferred the canapes at the mont albert ladies tennis club.

Oh the shame.

Today I chose a vanilla milkshake over a banana smoothie.

I am racked with guilt.

Ah yes, dc and society ladies. As the say, love is like frying bacon naked, you know it's going to hurt, but you don't know where or when.

I don't want to have to spend time with BBO and his loose lifestyle. Then I will be totally led astray. I could end up drinking shots for breakfast and sleeping in a bed with 3 others.

hawthorn property prices rise 47% year on year.

They win every flag.

They must be stopped.

The area must be levelled.

Now I've discovered Clarko leads singalongs with the acoustic.

Why me ?

Why hast thou forsaken me?

There is no god.

Give BBO a ring, he can help you. He has had years of counselling and could pass on many good tips.

DC business never stops as you know. i must drop in to the Mont Albert tennis club to check out the afternoon tea! I am thinking about rebooting my tennis career. Do you think they could use a right hander with a lethal backhand and a big kicking serve?

might be pushing it a little, earl as they have a no hipster policy. besides, there are issues of territoriality to consider. you could try the coburg ladies martial arts club though.

Your business is a racket Earl.

Besides, dc will get jealous. He's highly strung.

Possibly a couple more wins this year if we pay our best footy.
