OUR WEEKLY COLUMN OF FACT, FICTION OR WHATEVER YOU WANT TO MAKE OF IT!
LAST week we introduced you to Ollie, the parrot auditioning to be the official greeter at Bridgewater caravan park. We have now exclusively sourced a photograph of Ollie on the watch, waxing the vocal chords for his next rendition of “Welcome to Bridgey”. Like all good receptionists, he needs a cup of coffee on the desk between phone calls. And no instant muck for this star in the making. Ollie has taste, we are told, and insists on only the best brewed from quality beans.
QUALITY nourishment is also high on the list of cricketers every Saturday. Normally these flannel-wearing willow whackers call in at the nearest supermarket for a packet of Tim-Tams as their contribution to the afternoon tea spread. But not the great Poss. He declined to undertake the duties of good husband last Saturday morning, believing time is better spent preparing a batch of mini-pizzas (the salami had kick!) to share with team mates. Dobbed in by good wife to OTF, happy to admit to us and besides, the great Poss was also thinking of the team. “You can’t start strenuous jobs in the yard on the day of a game,” he said in somewhat similar words between munches.
THE Oracle has been somewhat quiet for a few weeks - harvest, cursed late harvest and breakdowns perhaps - but the true trooper has bounced back. Turns out he regained selection in the bowls line-up and wasted no time letting us know that recent poor form had been reversed. “We got the chocolates,” he reported.
AND finally, looks like Bradley of Boort is getting ready for Christmas ... 2023. He’s had a Treemendous year and OTF is glad to share his weekly dose of puns and witty observations. And we’re with him for Christmas next year unless we quickly get some shopping done in the next 24 hours.
MERRY Christmas and a very happy New Year from OTF! We’ll be back with fun and laughter from the lighter side of life! Pop your yarns to us at loddonherald@gmail.com
