Not feeling great about deaths myself. This house is flats, four other tenants died in the past four years, all over fifty years and under seventy, which age range I also fall into, and I'm on a bunch of medicines and have been to a degree since 2004 which they mostly weren't. Not Covid in any particular case so far as I know, and all apparently different. Not all friends.

Shane Warne

FFS

52 years old
The greatest leg spinner in history.

Was watching him at Taunton one time while the Aussies were touring, and he was fielding down near what was at the time known as the Cider Corner (basically where those pissed congregated)
Someone near me shouted “Hey Shane, who ate all the pies?” to him
Shane responded by turning around, pulling his shirt over his head, pointing at his bare gut and saying “I fucking did”
The whole crowd in that corner after that loved him

Absolute legend. Such a loss.

Christ, another one bites the dust.

Serge Provinsial, one of the head ski patrol guys where I used to work, and overall lovely bloke. Fell or tripped, hit his head, 2 days in a coma and died on Wednesday.



In the yellow jacket and bobble hat. See you on the other side, man.

Yeah, I woke at about 4am (stupidly humid here, and still about 27C at the time...) and checked phone and saw the news about Warnie. My partner knew him as he used to bring his extended family into the restaurant she worked at, every couple of weeks, and said that out of the public eye he was a really lovely, caring and genuinely down-to-earth bloke.
