Day Sixty Four

A busy day for a Saturday, up and about and we headed over to Bill and Carols briefly. Kate's dad is a big fan of ironing, a result in my book, so we dropped off quite a bit of stuff from our boxes and current clothing for him to iron. He is dropping it back here tomorrow ;-).

I went to the hardware store and picked up a load of plugs to switch out the UK plugs on things to Aussie variety. Will make life easier, will still have some extension leads with UK plugs on to keep some stuff bilghty plugged.
We then went to the Moore Park Supacentre to look at beds/mattresses and other stuff for flat. Had too much of a sales push by guy on bed shop trying to sell us stuff we legged it in the end.

We then went to Centennial Parklands and did 2 circuits on the bikes, seemed longer than last time but still another 5 miles cycled. We headed back to Glebe and then drove to the Olympic Park to watch Sydney Swans play Geelong. Was an exciting game, Sydney had won they would have made it into the finals, but alas they were just beaten at end. below are pics from stadium. It's well organised ( as to be expected from an Olympic village) with decent transport links etc. It didn't feel that big though.

  2. Ade I think you have been missed informed. Sydney were only a slim chance of making the finals. They needed to beat the Cats then Collingwood and the Lions. Then Essendon went on to beat Saint Kilda, so even if they won all three games (very unlikely) they would still have been pipped by Essendon.
