The last 24 hours have not been so good for me. Have had some sort of tummy bug but thank goodness all seems to be OK now.
Today is footy Grand Final day.....St Kilda v Collingwood.
Even though I don't support either team I would like to see a Saints win. Who could barrack for Collingwood?
We had to go and and get 2 new remotes for the car.....one for me and one for Tony. I haven't had a remote for ages and the one we use is starting to lose its effectiveness. Would hate to not be able to unlock the car or start it.
We decided to go for a drive down south......haven't been down there for ages. Lucky the Southern Expressway was open (this is a one way freeway, it's open 1 way for 12 hours and then is reversed so depending on which time of day you decide to go down south you either get to go on it or not).
Had some lunch at Christies Beach, then travelled further south down through Myponga, Carackalinga, Normanville
and then onto Victor Harbor.
The footy was starting to get exciting, so we sat in the car and listened to the last 20 minutes. The Saints hit the front with about 5 minutes to go and then the Pies came back and led by a point. The Saints had a kick for goal but only scored a behind and so the points were locked away at 68 points apiece. That is how the game finished.
Everyone was stunned, the players, supporters and coaches. Oh well, they have to replay it again next Saturday. Bit of a let down after so much build up. This is only the third time a draw has resulted and the last time was in 1977 and Collingwood was involved in that one too against North Melbourne.
We went and had a coffee and then headed back home. It was a great day!
