That’s the thing about football
AFL Grand Final day today. I enjoyed it not so much because of the footy but because it’s a whole day of friends, drinks, food, sun and antics. Had a big lunch then got my cider on, followed by a walk to the beach with the girls, came back and watched the second half of football with the guys (Ok, Hawks well dominated Sydney, congrats for the second year in a row), then spent the rest of the day and evening hanging out. Felt very slothful and loving life. 
Footy Prelims
So my team got knocked out of the finals tonight, Port went down to Hawthorn by 3 points. Disappointing, but what a tense match! Boo 
The week that was
I’ve had a fairly busy week this week. My finger is still fractured and very bruised, making work difficult, but apart from that work has been a bit lame with computer stuff taking up all my time.
This weekend so far has been all about the footy. The last round of AFL and the first finals round of SANFL. As I have a football-mad boyfriend you can imagine all the talk going on (“If this team wins by x amount and that team loses to the other team then we just have to win by this much to make the finals…”), to which I smile and nod because, well, I don’t really know tons about it but I embrace his obsessions as he does mine (ie. sloths).
In saying that, my team lost yesterday so we finished fifth on the ladder, and finals start next week, and his team will finish probably ninth or something, so they are out of the finals this year, but his SANFL team won a final, so he’s still happy.
So that’s what’s going on in my life right now, sport, yay. The boy’s gone to another game this afternoon, so I’m at home now with marking and bathrooms waiting to be completed and cleaned respectively. Then the in-laws around for dinner. Making chicken and chorizo paella.
Sloth Football League
Went to the footy at Adelaide Oval tonight. Doza snuck along too! He even sported (see what I did there) a new guernsey just for the occasion. It was a little fast-paced for him but I think he got the gist. Took him a while to realise that the siren had gone and unfortunately our team lost though. Oh well. I think sloths would like a game more like golf, or lawn bowls… something that puts you to sleep…
Footy Rivalry
Yesterday went to the Adelaide v Port Adelaide AFL showdown, at the new Adelaide Oval. About 50,000 people there, the atmosphere was incredible! And my team won, so that was even better. Unfortunately the boy was going for the opposition, so it was a bit like this at home:
