My @craftypint.com Pint of Origin leave already approved for 2026. Cannot wait for May next year.

Nice way to enjoy my first beer in 5 weeks. Love the break over October tbh. #beer #ozbeersky

What I want to happen with run outs backing up. #NZvENG #Cricket

The Mr. Burns and Smithers scene from Talking Softball with the text changed to represent the number of run outs.

I'm just picturing this right now with run outs at the bowlers end.

Text on screen over a scene of Mr. Burns and Smithers from the Talking Softball episode.

Feel this might happen tonight. #Halloween

A still of homer after eating 64 slices of American cheese.

That was yesterday where 2 costumes were worn. Today was about wearing as many wigs as possible (to symbolise the many hats teachers wear for World Teachers' Day). It was a blast.

Matthew Beggs @matthewbeggs.bsky.social · 3d

Have got to say wearing multiple wigs at work is the perfect way to screw with the minds of Year 8's. #teaching.

After a couple of really challenging moments this week, it was nice to actually get a shout out for a couple of positive things that I've doing at work. #teaching

Random specs of dust on a computer screen makes for some interesting moments when writing code in C++ and Python.

Getting to wear band merch at work today was a nice touch. The Radiohead t-shirt caused a lot of positive discussion, explaining why I am wearing a Sad Dads hoodie from The National was an interesting moment. #teaching #music

Have to say the fact that I’ve got a decent quality bulk billing practice near my house is such a relief.

Some I’d expect it from (Hawthorn and Richmond) and I’ve got respect for them as clubs but seeing some very chirpy Western Bulldogs fans which to me are acting with a severe lack of class.

Sometimes supporter bases show more in defeat rather than victory. Been some interesting comments from certain supporter bases after today. Maybe I’m getting too old for the ‘banter’. #AFLGF

There’s very few things greater in life than the walk to the MCG on AFL grand final day. #AFLGF

Realised watching back the 4 Geelong flags of my lifetime each one is still enjoyable in very different ways. A 5th one would be such a different experience again. #AFL

Matthew Beggs @matthewbeggs.bsky.social · Sep 25

Oh god I forget how much fun the 5AA call is. The desperation and hope from them all is just the height of comedy.

Matthew Beggs @matthewbeggs.bsky.social · Sep 25

Preparing to watch a Grand Final by watching DVD's of old GF's never gets old. Doubly so when it's the 5AA call of the 2007 Grand Final. #AFLGF #AFL

4 days of school holidays equals 4 days of illness. Not how I pictured these holidays tbh. #teaching

Matthew Beggs @matthewbeggs.bsky.social · Sep 21

Grand Final Tickets secured. That was the smoothest experience on Ticketek ever. #AFL

Have got to say the now annual tradition of starting the Term 3 holidays sick is really starting to get annoying.

Matthew Beggs @matthewbeggs.bsky.social · Sep 19

Geelong in a grand final means I might post more on here.

Matthew Beggs @matthewbeggs.bsky.social · Sep 18

Have got to say, getting the opportunity to nerd out and 3D print at work is one of the real perks of the job at the moment. #teaching

This Freo v Eagles AFLW game is legitimate wet weather football. #AFLW
