Saturday was a lovely day. A long lay in was much appreciated after such a busy week, then a walk in the sunshine with the family. In the afternoon we headed across to the SCG to watch an epic game of AFL: Sydney v Carlton. It was a perfect late winter Sydney afternoon. There was excitement half way through when Carlton quickly caught Sydney, but then the Swans fought back to trounce the Blues. Buddy Franklin was incredible in the last half scoring ten goals - individually equaling Carlton's final score. The crowd was on its feet. It was one of those moments when sport really made sense to me. I enjoyed it so much, and also got so much joy from looking at how much happiness it brought to all my boys!
Sunday started early for Robbie and the boys with the regular swimming lesson, then a walk for us and Miss Molly. This afternoon Robbie and I were invited to Andy's birthday lunch at a great restaurant called FOLONOMO - for love not money - owned by some seriously good chefs who run a not for profit restaurant and donate all the profits to various charities. We had a wonderful time chatting with Andy's wide array of friends and celebrating our unique and wonderful friend.
A quiet night tonight with a sykpe with Fiona in Edinburgh topped off a lovely weekend. I'm exhausted but feeling happy I've been able to get out and about so much better, despite the aches and stiffness...the last week of a very long marathon starts now...
I've been wearing a chain Robbie and the boys bought me for my 40th birthday and a charm which has two adults and children holding hands which the boys bought my for my last birthday. They usually buy me a new charm every year - I don't wear them often but treasure them as I know they take so much time deliberating over their choices.
