Monday takes a holiday

Seeing as Monday was a public holiday (Queen's Birthday...good ole queenie!) the Monday weekend round up decided to take a holiday too. I guess better late than never?

What a wet and cold one we had! Winter is definately here with a vengence!
Friday night was a cold quiet one...we stayed in with Broken Flowers and salt free burritos....I suggest you never try them, the burritos, not the movie.

Saturday came and brought more rain and a trip to the SCG to see the Mighty Swans play St Kilda
.....what a drenching! It poured and poured and poured.

Half time came and went and so did we...the rain and cold became too much, and the call of the pub won out! Pity the Swans didn't follow suit, they finished the game 2 points down. No wonder with fans like this...

Did the night of sport finish there? NO WAY! onwards to the Anzac Club in Cammeray to watch EN-GER-LUND EN-GER-LUND EN-GER-LUND play Paraguay with a 1-0 finish England's way. Not the greatest of matches, but Flit was happy with the 3 points it scored his team.

Sunday was family day for us, and off to Mum's to celebrate all the June birthdays in the family. I pity the fool who thought the weekend of sport was over though!
Back home to watch the Wallabies play england...ho hum!

Monday finally brought sun! what a relief. No work! woohoo...I'm sure you all shared my enthusiasm...except maybe for Bron who had to work...yuk! A lovely day shopping and sleeping.....and yes, you guessed it, more sport! 10.30pm and the Socceroos kicked off a very tense game with Japan....Glorious victory for the Aussies, but many a sleepy head this morning back at work.

For sport lovers (ie most boys) this weekend was a blast...for the rest of us, we sure earned brownie points for sitting through all those games and will collect with many a shoe shopping trip with humble and patient boyfriend in tow!

This weekend my sport intake = 0!

I'm sure that if I'd spent it with Noodle there would have been hours of dull, arse numbing spectator sport but luckily he was in Sydney studying while I was in Tumut feeding cattle. Men! Humf.

We entered a shoe shop on Monday - that's it I'm afraid.

what a night at the SCG on saturday. i was also there, i havent seen or been in rain like that for ages. i think we were sitting only a few rows over from you (looking at the photo).

Flit...you forgot to mention that we were looking at shoes for you! That negates the visit!

Bron....How cool! Did you stay the whole game? did you get soaked?
What a coincidence!

thank god for plastic poncho's, that's all i can say. it was absolutely pouring! we left at half time, just when i started to bucket down.

Sarah said...

You should try to avoid bucketing down in public Miss B. No one wants to see that. It's kind of gross.

Miss Sammut said...

Opps! my bad, i meant .....when it started to bucketdown. if it was me, that would be kinda gross.
