Surely get a parent to look after the little ones and give her the night off to come with?

Doesn't really work with the breastfeeding. She could express but she's always preferred to do it straight from the source.

I'll still ask the question anyway haha.

Got Oasis tickets, cost a shit load but I'm happy to spend it on things I like. Can't take it with you.

I got a couple also. Probably can't make it but will be easy enough to sell them.

Easy to ask for forgiveness than permission mate haha.

That's her choice then.

Managed to see Oasis just before they broke up years ago. Not sure I’d fly over to see them again. Was surprised they didn’t have one show at Optus cause that would go off especially with all the English that live in Perth.

Would love to hear Morning Glory live Again. That song gets my blood pumping.

Nothing better than watching a live gig. I go pretty frequently even to shows I vaguely know.

Have got a few lined up:

Caribou
Bombay bicycle Club
Two Door Cinema Club
Waxahatchee
Wallows
Primal Scream
Max Richter

I'm definitely feeling my age though when I'm keen for a seat rather than standing! Last gig I stood at I think was Paul McCartney, figure if he can do it I can.

I still get into a mosh every now and then but having had two meniscal tears in the right knee means I have to take some nurofen before I go

 

[Cruyff14]

It's funny, I love music. Always been a big part of my life.

Never been into concerts though haha. I assume it's because my parents never really did it so it just never became a big thing for me.

No better place on Earth than a live show.

I'm seeing Green Day on my birthday next year. I'm a huge fan of this increasing trend with bands playing a whole album on the anniversary of that album, so they're doing Dookie and American Idiot which is great.

Yeah Bruce started it back in 2009 and did it as recently as 2017.

Pretty special.

My wife delivered our second boy on Monday morning via elective c-section.

All went well, he came out far, far bigger than anyone was expecting haha. As it turns out, he was always going to need a c-section.

What’s pleased me the absolute most though is our 18 month old boy has instantly fallen in love with him. Already constantly trying to give him cuddles and kisses. I’m not an emotional person but watching the two of them together absolutely melts me.

Congrats mate. Our second daughter was born four months ago, similar age gap to you. Hard work at times but it’s just the best, especially seeing them interact with each other.

Congratulations Jatz to you and your family mate. Brilliant news.

Congratulations mate!

And thus begins a lifetime of sporting misery.

I'm sure Carlton will win at least 1 flag by 2124. It's inevitable.

We're going elective at the moment due to a few factors. Nearly 1 month to go

Went to say goodbye to my pa today. He got a chest infection about a month ago but hasn't really recovered from that. He's been in a nursing home since November, and that was kinda where things started to slow down for him. His dementia got worse, and he would have good and bad days. He was able to come to my house for my daughter's birthday in August which was lovely, but since then he's dropped off.

He's 99 and really detiorated the last week or so. It was sad to see him the way he was, but he did look peaceful and comfortable.

The doctor seems to think he might get another two days at most. Done well to live such a long, and good life. But it's sad seeing him as just skin and bone. But that's life - and death - I guess.

Hope it all goes as well as possible.

This little lump of a thing had them a bit stressed as they really struggled to get him out. Had to use forceps in the end.

99 is a bloody good innings!

I had a great grandfather pass at 100 about 10 years ago. The funeral was really odd in a way. While you’re obviously sad, it felt far more like a celebration of a life well lived. Very paradoxical afternoon.

 

[SM]

My grandfather's about to hit 98, been in a home for about 2-3 years up in the mountains by choice, which makes it tough to visit him, but he got to meet my daughter last month which was great, and we'll be up there again soon for his birthday. Really tough seeing him there though since my grandmother passed in 2020, we all sort of figured he wouldn't last too long after she went and I think he wishes he hadn't either, but now he's just.. existing.. so similarly, I think when he does pass away in a way it won't be overly sad. He's had a great life and I'm not sure how much he's enjoying the end.

 

[bok_party]

My Nonno passed maybe about five years ago now. He got to 90 which is pretty good but the last week he was in palliative care which isn’t a fun experience. We all got to say our final goodbyes though which is a bonus.
Hope you and the family are doing alright Cruyff14.

It is, most definitely. He's lived a good life.

Yeah when my nanna died in 2021 we thought he'd go not long after. But he is very stubborn, and is too afraid to die.

Meeting the great grandkids is great and it's great you were all afforded that opportunity. I felt kinda the same until yesterday knowing it's been coming etc, but it was very sad seeing him the state he was in.

Yeah palliative is never fun, essentially what my pa is in now to prepare for end of life. He looked comfortable and peaceful though and given the circumstances, can't ask for much else.

 

[Cruyff14]

Died last night, mum called me this morning. Very good innings. It's sad, but at least he is at peace.
