Mackay and Whitsunday Life

Can You Believe It’s February Already?

How time flies when you’re having fun!

It only feels like it was yesterday that we were unwrapping Xmas presents, eating way too much ham, and sleeping after watching just two hours of cricket on the TV. Fun times.

Right now, as it’s now the month of love, we are getting things set for Valentine’s Day which involves everything chocolate and very expensive dinners without the kids. Enjoy that if you have to organise anything. I hope it goes well. Please don’t ask me for any directions. I’m not the person to ask about love. Honest.

The only thing I wouldn’t recommend you do is anything that could hurt the other person. I’d scrub off skydiving from any list. Same goes for a supercar drive down south. Not the best, in my eyes of course. Also I would say a complete no to a full bodied spray tan experience just as you’re going to wear some white outfit out on this romantic night of nights.

It’s just a thought. You can do whatever you want, but don’t tell me you were not warned.

One other thing that’s happening very shortly is the year of sport in Mackay and the Whitsundays.

This time of the year is when sports have all their sign-on days and the like. Remember council is doing their Sports Expo and Sign-On Day on the 12th, so if you’re keen to play something new, get down there and say hello. I’ll be there on the hockey stand so feel free to ask me for any tips. I’ll write all I know on a postage stamp for you.

Just about every sport in the area will be there. Rugby league, swimming, soccer, netball, table-tennis, AFL, golf, wakeboarding, running, sailing, and more all in the one place at the MECC. Bring the kids along and get involved in a sport that will make you fitter, plus it will give you stacks of new mates too! It’s a double win!

I’ve had a go at a few sports over the years like swimming, table tennis, gridiron, soccer, league and more but I can tell you any sport that you pick is going to be great for you moving forward, and your family. You’ll be more social, happier and more in debt than ever before.

Don’t knock it until you try it.

Let me know how you go.

Before I go, wishing my late Mum a happy birthday for Wednesday just gone. She was an amazing hockey goalie back in the day when the only protective gear they had were rubber gardening gloves, some padding on the knees, and a sharp mouth.

Kids nowadays don’t have any idea how good they’ve got it really do they!
