So Friday was a footy watching night.
Saturday was going to be the big day with panel coverage beginning on TV at 8 am. I was not going to Computer Club today! The 'big game' was due to start at 2:30 in the afternoon. Trish and I enjoyed hot dogs as an early lunch as we followed preparations for the big game on TV. Just before 2 o'clock we enjoyed our 'late' lunch of prawns and oysters (as well as several beers of course!) They look pretty good don't they?
Our weather was windy and 32 degrees with some more dust due later in the day. In Melbourne it was a wet, cold and windy day with the temperature expected to peak out at 13 degrees!In a thrilling game my team Geelong managed to get over the line by 2 goals, thus giving them 2 premierships in 3 years. I have seen them play live in about 5 grand Finals and they have lost every one of them. The two games I haven't attended has seen them win the premiership! There is a message there!
More prawns for tea and several more beers capped off a great day. And what do you know, there was live cricket from South Africa with Australia playing against West Indies after the footy finished! I had a great day!
Today Sunday has seen the floors cleaned yet again from the dust yesterday. It was nowhere near as bad as mid week, but it was bad enough to need to do the floors again. Instead of washing down the patio this time I vacuumed it! It seems to have come up OK.
A mate of mine John Logan flies up tomorrow. We are spending much of this week watching cricket together. Three state cricket teams are playing a series of new season warm up matches here on the Sunshine Coast. The teams are from Queensland, South Australia and Tasmania. There will be players amongst them who have represented Australia so the standard of play will be excellent.
