2023-06-10 Day 1 (Sat) We beat Kala! 8pm Flight, Arrive at Canggu, Taxi to Beach Shack, Couldn’t Find Key

Paish: We played Kala today, and beat them! Unfortunately, they didn't have many subs and had to forfeit the game, but it was nice to win. I'm sure it won't be so easy next time!

Dad and I could not go and see Roxy's game, although she was not playing. It was also pouring with rain all day! We finished packing, and then we headed off to Jackson's to park the car, and take an Uber to the airport. It was pretty exciting going on holiday!

We arrived in Canggu at around 1am. We didn't have visas, so we had to queue - lucky there were not many flights, so we were pretty much straight through. We had to hunt around for our taxi driver. It was really hot and humid, even at that time - it was lovely!

The taxi ride was quicker than we thought, and he dropped us on a beach and took us to our shack - it was literally a shack, and me and Dad were very nervous as it looked so run down! The waves were really loud, and we couldn't find the key, so we stood for ages waiting for the owner. Eventually, we told us the key was under a flowerpot in the sand, and we were in - we could mot believe how cool it was inside! It was just like in the pictures, and was perfect. We couldn't wait to see what it was like in the morning!

We're finally here!

S: Well done beating Kala! Shame they were short.

It was very cool being in Bali, but not cool waiting outside the shack at 2am in the morning. The inside was very cool - can't wait for our first day!

Exciting!

2023-05-28 Comets vs Warriors + Peel Lightening, Camp, 10s vs Cottesloe, Announcement - Commonwealth Games!

 

Rox: What the heck!? I've been selected to play in the Youth Commonwealth Games 2023 in Trinidad and Tobago - Trinbago - in August! This is 3 weeks after AusCamp - that is crazy! This time last year I was playing with Wanneroo in Tact! I can't believe it, and I am a bit nervous about it. We had a team meeting this week, and the announcement happened this week too - I got a lot of congrats from people which was really nice. Looking forward to meeting the team though, that should settle my nerves!

I went away to camp this week - we did so much bike riding that my calf has been feeling really good. I hope it will be good enough for Friday as I play Aaliyah!

And it was - I managed to play just over 2 quarters, and we won comfortably. We also played Peel Lightening again, and won fairly well. I managed to play most of the game too, which was good. My leg is definitely getting better!

A funny promo video for Comets!

Paish: First game of the season against Cottesloe - I was playing 9 and was not too keen, but ended up really enjoying the game. We played so well for the first game of the season, and we scored twice - Cara scored a great try on the wing, and the Jenna popped a ball to me to score, which I really enjoyed. So many debuts today, so a lot to be positive about. I hope I manage to swap positions around though - we could have such a good back line!

Divas vs Cottesloe

S: You played amazing Paish! Well done! So vocal and positive! You're the loudest one on the pitch! Well played Rox - solid second game back! 

Dave went to see Johnny P in Laos last week - looked fun, and he got to speak at the Women's rugby dinner! That is cool!

Had a night-time run with Bau at Quinns - scary, cold, and fun!

C: Amazing game Rox - very convincing wins against Warriors and Peel! Hopefully now you will make finals!

Bau: A bit nervous for the night time beach run! It was fun though!

2023-05-13 Big news! Mother's Day at Bell's Rapids, Mopping at Fever, Sunset Walk

 

Rox: I had some really big news this week, I got selected for the Australian Squad 17U and I get to go on a training camp in Canberra in July! I can't believe it! Halle, Chloe, Kate and Emily got in too, so it is going to be so much fun! I also got some other news, but I'm not allowed to tell anyone! Ah man!

I was asked to do the mopping at the Fever vs Swifts game - I did it with Tegan, and it was so stressful! Luckily I didn't have to go on to mop. Fever lost again by 1 point - the third time this season!

Had a rematch against the Sharks on Sunday - I still couldn't play, but we actually smashed them 64-46 - it was a great game, and everyone played so well. I miss it so much, so I'm determined to play next week!

C: Thanks guys for a lovely Mother's Day at Bell's Rapids! The Bau enjoyed it so much, and it was fun!

Paish: Dad and I went out to a sunset walk on Mullaloo which was so cool!

S: Loved climbing over the rocks with The Bau at Bell's Rapids - a bit slippy, but so much fun!

The Bau: It was cool! I loved it!

2023-04-30 Mummy's Birthday! Paddleboarding On The River, Saturday Netball Starts, Comets vs Sharks!

 

C: We went to the river paddle boarding at Lucky Bay and looked for stingrays - no joy! It was a beautiful day though, and it was funny watching Doodis falling in!

I loved my breakfast at Voyage Kitchen - thanks guys!

Rox: Although we lost against Sharks, we had a great comeback in the 4th quarter and came to within 6! Two casualties though - J with her ankle, and I hurt the side of my shin. I wasn't able to play on Saturday against Paua Rose, but we won comfortably anyway. I need to recover, as we have some critical WANL games coming up, and we can't afford to lose them now!

Happy Birthday Mummy! I hope you enjoyed your breakfast!

Paish: Hope you had an awesome day Mummy - we loved the brekkie! I chose Mummy's presents too - a new wallet and jewellery!

S: It was so nice being out on the river. The wind even came in and the windsurfers and wingers were out!

I was the only one to have pancakes at Mummy's breakfast at Voyage Kitchen!
