Its a footie mad weekend this weekend as the Grand Final of the AFL was staged yesterday. Its a huge event in Melbourne and everyone has their traditions of where to watch the match & what they do on the day. As mere specators of all the action we we can only equate it to the FA cup final in England. It just seems bigger than that in terms of everyone being interested in it and talking about it. For the record, the Geelong Cats thrashed Port Adelaide by a margin of 119 points - a record in the 120 year history of the AFL.....Anyway, our weekend besides that, was looking for houses and going to the 2007 Royal Melbourne Show. It was a windy, rain threatend day but it didn't stop Ethan clamouring for the 'showbags' which as I said last year is another annual tradition in Melbourne. He finally settled on a racing car showbag and Aidan got a Bob the builder one (selected for him by his mother). Both came away happy... amazing what bright plastic toys made in China can do for your kids. Probably covered in highly toxic paint - but they love them anyway.
You can see some of the pics from the show here.
