Column 341

Leo, Roving Reporter Report from: My desk Story filed: So much for that Hi all, I hope you had a good weekend. Mine was: eventful. Starting off strong with getting up in the cold at 6am to go to school to get on a bus for our First XI soccer away game. We were off to Sydney to play St Pius X but as you might remember, Saturday was a very rainy day. We were just fifteen minutes into the journey when we got the message that the game had been rained out. So we headed home, gameless. I guess on the plus side I had the day to myself, or well almost most of it. Gleely my mum said I could now go and perform in the Orange Youth Orchestras rehearsal and concert - which I hadn't been able to do due to being in Sydney playing soccer. The concert went really well actually. Sunday comes by and I've got nothing but pool lifeguard work from 10:30am to 3:30pm and it's a day shift, so it's going to be a bit quiet. It wasn't though, as there was a Mountain and Plains Swimming Carnival on, so it was quite busy. On a side note our car got ransacked while parked in our carport. We accidentally left the boot slightly open and it also just happened that some shady people walking around that night saw it open, unlatched our back gate, walked into our yard and ransacked our car. They stole a small pair of mini binoculars, a pocket kite, a small bluetooth speaker, my mum's driving license and NRMA roadside assist card and a small pot of newly opened Carmex lip balm plus leaving the car a mess. Kinda weird. We were upset even though it was our fault for leaving the car open like an alluring treasure chest. In our defence we were tired and didn't realise until too late. So, that was my eventful weekend. Until next time Leo Roving Reporter
