More television interviews bring more followers

I recently did another interview with 9 News Sydney, they’re always great people to do interviews with. W were discussing what I’m doing and why I’ve been doing it as well as a few other things. It is amazing that people in Sydney were watching that interview just a couple of hours later!

You can see it on their Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/hashtag/9news

Check on your mate!!!

Just a reminder to checkup on your mates who ,regardless if you haven’t heard from them in a while or not, might need a chat to get some things off their chest.

Sadly, everyone knows someone who’s taken their life from the black dog in rural areas. It’s been a silent issue for a long time and needs to be brought into the open as much as possible. Most of the time I’ve found people just want someone who’ll listen to them and actually give a stuff. Why not be that person and be there for your mates. Better to be on a late night phone call than to go to a funeral.

Be there for them, have a chat, and listen It might just change a life.

Be a real “Mate”

Make sure that you look after your mates - Treat them all well!.

There are no places for bullies or abusers in this life.

“Another $50 for Dolly’s Dream”

Was driving out to pickup some groceries this arvo and came across some people on the side of the road having a bit of a hard time moving some sizeable rocks into position on their front yard, so I pulled up and gave them a hand.

We first tried with the hand trolley and a dumbbell bar as a crowbar, but unfortunately the second rock took a bit more doing. So I rigged up a snatch strap to it and after a few attempts dragged it into place with the zook in 4wd we got it done. I didn’t want anything for giving them a hand (I’m just happy to be helpful) but they gave me $50 which I’d rather put it in the Dolly's Dream donation tin that I had with me. They did that, but I couldn’t say no to a cold Pepsi which was offered as well.

I personally think that This is what being Australian is all about , if you see someone needing help, it only takes a few minutes to lend a hand that no doubt would’ve saved them a fair bit of stuffing around. You should never expect anything in return for being helpful but be thankful and gracious for anything offered after the fact that comes your way, should it do so.
