We the speedygeese will be fielding a team in the ABS Fun Run on Thu 24 May at 12:30pm. Team entries close 18 May. So to all training group members, if you are running in the Fun Run, please add to your entry the Team Name "speedygeese" and organisation "ACTVAC". For details of the run, see http://www.lunchstakes.webathletics.com.au/absfunrun/about.htm.
You will notice the entry form says "Individual entrants should enclose a stamped self-addressed envelope so their chest number can be posted to them." This will apply to us as well, as there is no opportunity to distribute numbers were they to all be sent to one place.
There are many donated prizes - plan a long lunch that day. Proceeds from the ABS Fun Run will go to the ACT Cancer Council.
song of the week: Deciphering Me - Brooke Fraser, from "Albertine". For many years I have favoured almost exclusively men's voices. Now at last a female performer whom I like as much. Not only a great voice, an unselfconscious style, and superb arrangements, but very good lyrics as well. Her album Albertine is currently in the album charts.
Friend, it's getting late, we should be going
We've been sat here beneath these flickering neons for hours
Well I am cracking their code
You are deciphering me
For I am a mystery
I am a locked room in a tall tower
Oh can you feel the gravity falling
Calling us home
Oh did you see the stars colliding
Shining just to show we belong
We belong
Your telescope eyes see everything clearly
My vision is blurred but I know what I heard echoing all around
Well I am tuning you in
You are deciphering me
Not such a mystery
Not such a faint and far away sound
Oh can you feel the gravity falling
Calling us home
Oh did you see the stars colliding
Shining just to show we belong
We belong
It's love, it's love that holds us
We will be alright
It's truth, it's truth that shows us
If we'll walk in its light
It's love, it's love that holds us
We will be alright
It's truth, it's truth that shows us
If we'll walk in His light
Oh can you feel the gravity falling
Calling us home
Oh did you see the stars colliding
Shining just to show we belong
