From the sidelines

Supported the Hall Bushrangers again on a Saturday, that despite a pleasant and sunny enough start, quickly dissipated into a cold overcast afternoon. When we arrived at the ground in Woden, we mused over the fact that there seemed to be a whole lot more people here than the last time we were here. Turns out they were there for a clash between 'Aussie Legends' and the Canberra Royals. Anyway, despite not having a scoreboard we're pretty sure that Hall won, despite a gutsy second half from the opposition.

ADFA Playing Fields, Duntroon (two today because I completely forgot yesterday!)

ADFA Playing Fields, Duntroon

How much do I love rugby? Some would say too much! Lastnight I gave up going to a free Bertie Blackman show to support my flatmate's boyfriend's team the Hall Bushrangers as they took on the ADFA (Australian Defence Force Academy) team. The boys went down, and we couldn't feel our toes by the end of it, but the hot soup we had when we got home made it all worth it.

Rugby Saturday

It's another Rugby Union Saturday, and to commemorate the Wallabies taking on (and hopefully defeating) Italy in Melbourne I thought it would be appropriate to include a rugby related picture in today's post. Maybe it's just me, but rugby seems to be fairly well supported here in Canberra: almost every time I go to the shops I see a Brumbies sticker on the back of someone's car or someone wearing a jersey. I'm happy to say I'm one of their number. On the left is yours truly (proudly wearing my Brumbies jersey of course!) and on the right is my flatmate and awesome friend Georgie who I drag along to as many home games as I can (though this seems to be a relatively easy task).

Enjoy your weekend!
