Now that Babes has finished her yoga course, we're finally able to spend a Saturday together. Well, part of it anyway! We had a leisurely brunch at APTE in Alphington (somewhere we've been meaning to go for a while), and it was pretty good! Babes had mushrooms and sausages on toast, while I had smoked salmon on a corn fritter. Yummy! Then we drove to Clifton Hill to have a quick look at some water features (as we're thinking of building a deck in our small courtyard).
Babes later dropped me off at the MCG to meet Simon Antonis (my workmate) and his dad for the Collingwood vs Geelong game, first versus third in the ladder. Good fun, except for 70ish-year-old Gramps behind us cursing and swearing 20 times a minute over anything and everything, even with a young grandson sitting next to him. The only time he showed any restraint was when he yelled, "C'mon, you black ..." before stopping and realising that that would have probably been a step too far, even for him. What's even more scary is that we were sitting in the MCC Members section, which is (supposedly) more civilised. What would it be like in the regular sections? Anyway, after the game I walked to meet Babes and others at Sam and Becks' house for an awesome dinner of Sarawak Laksa and Bak Kut Teh. All in all, an excellent day! (photos reproduced from The Age)
