The lady next door had a pair of navy knickers pegged on her line with red clothes pegs.  It was blowing a gale and they were hanging by the merest thread, but she fought against all odds, and managed to save them before they were blown into oblivion.  I thought to myself "now that's a good omen".

Weirdly, i saw two people going to work this morning wearing a Demons scarf AND beanie.

Probably cold and picked them up from the Salvos.

Maybe binman can enlighten us.

So I won padel tonight 4-6, 6-2 against a Collingwood supporter and a Greek guy.

So we will win 62 to 46? Or 6.2 to 4.6?

My padel partner was a 4.1 foot Spanish girl if that helps clarify the tea-leaves.

I find that the pre-match Demonland threads lack a certain intellectual rigour and brings me no closer to deciding whether we will beat our opposition or not . . .

So, introducing Omen Watch:

I was visiting the hospital tonight, in ward C5 (Petracca?) and noticed a digital sign which read 'U4 EG afl. los'

I'm thinking it's bad.

But a duck also died next to my house the other day.

Maybe that's good?

Umpires didn't pay high contact for ducking today. Case closed.

And gee, this was pretty damn close WC 14.7 (6) vs MFC 16.12

Uncanny.
