I can't say that I'm too adventurous when it comes to the ocean.
And the most adventurous thing I did today was to brave the rain to go up to Springfield to see the three cups the Lions have won over the last 3 years, and to watch the LionsAFLW team play Port Adelaide, before walking across the road to the cinema and watching the movie'Whalefall' before heading back home to Logan.
And forget all the expensive truck-stop food if you head up to Springfield to see a game, and get the $4 bread and sausage, especially during'Sausage Month':-)
I'm going to celebrate 'National Playing Card Collection Day' by giving away 3 of my 4 packs of playing cards away to a street library, as I don't play card games, and those 3 decks are just gathering dust on my bookshelves.
One pack is not even a real deck, it's just a stage magician's deck for doing tricks on people, from a magic set someone had partly donated to the Op shop I work at, and would have been binned, as we can't sell magic sets where parts of it are missing, just like we can't sell board games or jigsaw puzzles with missing pieces.
Same with the Sinaporeair.com cards, we can't sell free promotional material like that, and I bought them as a goal at the time to fly Sinaporeair to Singapore, as a "bucket list" goal, which I now have, so don't need the cards anymore.
The only set of playing cards I'll keep around the home now in my foreseeable future are these playing cards above, which while a functional deck of playing cards, have pictures of places to visit in Australia, so it's kind of a playing deck I can keep if guests pop by and we decide to play a card game, but mainly it's a "bucket list" of places that I still have to visit, or visit again in my future, if I get the chance, before kicking the bucket.
When I was in Fitzroyafter The Lions had just won their third ALF Grand Final trophy in a row this September, I ducked into an Op Shop on one of the main streets of Fitzroy to see if there were any books on the shelf that took my fancy and I found two books almost straight away that did, one on Scottland and a book titled 'Lioness', which was written by Sue Brierleythe mother Nicole Kidman plays in the film 'Lion'.
The bridge I saw on the Scottland book reminded me of the bridge in the Hitchcockmovie 'The 39 Steps', which is a bridge I would like to ride over in a train, but not jump off.
While today is 'Bridge Day' where "Bridge Day is not actually a celebration of bridges themselves, but a celebration instead of the world of BASE jumpers. These adrenaline junkies engage in jumping from Buildings, Antenna’s, Spans (The aforementioned bridges), and Earth (cliff jumping), and Bridge Daywas organized to create a formal event for all of them, and to recognize these daredevils."
