The sounds emanating from the living room are not welcoming, it is football season again, Aussie Rules, Melbourne in Autumn and Winter and there is no getting away from it. I thought after last year's ground hog day effort (yep, Saints) my two boys and their father would have thrown in the towel, jumped ship, called it a day, given it a miss, passed..... but apparently that is just not cricket! I suggested a change of team was called for, especially for my long suffering husband with only one grand final win to celebrate in his life. This apparently is not an option, well not without a DNA transplant, can they do that yet? If it goes on for too long, can they award honorary grand final cups like they do degrees, for lots of good trying. So, 'tis the sewing room for me and new quilts jumping around in my mind, long winter days sewing and quilting and pretending not to notice when the dear boys slump from the living room at the end of another defeat. Prove me wrong Saints, please!
Sorry Judy but .... Go Pies!!!!
ReplyDeleteI am with Andi!! Love from Abu Dhabi( this will come up as Richards comment but don't tell him he is supporting the pies this year)
ReplyDeleteMy family doesn't follow a football team, so we never get disappointed or excited over a team's win. We seem to watch only the Grand Final. As for the sewing room, well don't need any excuse to be in there. Good luck with your team this year.
ReplyDeleteAre you kidding? There is nothing better than watching the Pies snuggled under a quilt, stitching another quilt and cheering your team - win or lose. That's the best part of winter.
ReplyDeleteYawwwwn.... I'm with you in the sewing room Judy!!
