Sometimes you know it's good that I write these PBLOGs with a bit of hindsight. As you might recall, in 2009 my dad sent me a Dockers' poster which was from a Perth newspaper. By 2010 that poster was looking a bit worse for wear, so I requested a new poster. This time my dad sent me a better quality $10 poster from the AFL shop in a nice poster tube. Well, it's now 2011 and the poster in this picture has been replaced once again, this time with another $10 poster, that I bought from a Dockers' shop when I went back to Perth this May.
Interestingly enough 2010 was a pretty good year for the Dockers, actually it was their second best season ever... And although a team is more than one player, one speculates on how it might have gone for them had Barlow not broken his leg. Well, that season is now gone, Barlow is back, but 2011 is not looking quite as good. Come on Dockers give some more of "that old heave ho" and hopefully we can make the finals again...
Note 10/08/2011: Well, I'm back from our trip to Gifu, we had a great time and held a baptism in a river. Now Ritsuko has gone to Australia to work on her new book. I'm here in Japan looking after our two cats, trying to knock off lots of preparation work, teaching a few classes (not many because it's summer vacation, but in Japan kids still go to school for sports/band/etc on summer vacation so the concept of vacation is a bit different here) and all the house work. When I do get some free time, I'd rather be out shooting than posting, but I will make an effort to post a few more PBLOGs and other photos.
