Wednesday 10.30pm Ch 9. Every Heart beats True-the Jim Stynes Story. (Also being shown Sunday 6.30pm Melbourne but Australia wide Wednesday). A truly inspirational man.
The only football I follow is the AFL, and I am a fan of several teams, but have a special interest in the Melbourne Football Club and watched this man turn the club around in the last few years.
Since he was diagnosed I have been following his progress and he is an absolute inspiration to so many.
The documentary I understand is very moving, but something we all should watch.

OCTOBER KNIT AND CROCHET PROJECTS
I have just posted info on the Projects page of my site about 2 new projects commencing in October. I am hoping lots of you will be involved in this one which is designed to be easy, and able to be flexible time-wise .
Both projects are for blankets.
The crochet one involves a new square pattern every week, with a commitment from anyone joining ( for 2 months) of making one of each pattern minimum, obviously you can make as many as you like. I would collect at the end of each 2 months, so you have 8 weeks to make 8 blocks, and then can recommit for another 2 months if you wish. So you may make all the blocks in the last week if you prefer. 8 ply wool is the yarn of choice, and colours will be limited.
For the knitted one, this is a very very simple knitted pattern, fast to knit and a true beginner would manage it very easily.
Colours more flexible, yarn again is 8 ply wool, but commitment is in multiples of 9, so you can do 9 or any multiple of nine, but there will need to be nine made in each colour you use.
You would easily whip up a couple of these watching your favourite tv programme at night. Also it is small enough and easy enough to take with you and knit a couple of rows whenever you can.
