The last long weekend, until the end of September, has finished. The Foundation Day weekend is a favourite of mine because it falls on or around my birthday! This year's was excellent. I started Friday night with Stormie and Woodie in the shed. Darts and cards and talking bullshit kept us occupied until the clocked ticked midnight and my birthday officially started. Then of course we had to celebrate, so it was nearly 2 by the time I crawled in to bed. Saturday was spent lazing around my house, my favourite past-time, with my favourite people, watching my favourite footy team (Go West Coast!) come back from 54 points down to snatch a 3 point victory from the Cats. Then down the road to Macedonia Park to watch a 9-1 cup match and sink a few more beers with Woodie. Home for dinner (HJ's, my choice),an hour and a half phone call from Face and Ang and a visit from me Mum. Just when I thought I'd had the perfect birthday, I decided I'd try to stick it out until midnight, flicked it over to rage and sat until 12:30 watching "The Sex Pistols" and "The Saints".
Sunday, back down to Macies to watch the 13's play, then off to Freo to catch up with the "crew" (
sans Woodie, oddly). The photo (We're thinking of saving it for an album cover :-) shows Ned (Fatness, Mark),me , G (Stormie, Norm) and Snake (Jake, Greg). All with their respective spouses and children were there as well as Crystal and Woz and their boys. We'd booked in to an apartment, so all back to ours for pizza and wine. I fell asleep watching the Socceroos and Netherlands draw.
Up early this a.m. Fast Eddy's for breakfast (nice, but glad I didn;t see the kitchen or the toilet until
after I'd eaten, spent some of my birthday money on a new harmonica then home for more lazing.
I love Foundation Day
