Swimming Pretty in the Glass-Half-Full 2012: Day 238 - Go Hawkers!

Great day at the footy!

Yes the footy! Again.

Caught the train in and out from Dulwich Hill station

After seeing Hawthorn lose to the Swans two years ago, this time they won! By 7 points after a tense back and forth match that saw each team take the lead by the slimmest of margins only to lose a goal or kick later. Fantastic, adrenaline-pumping stuff and I loved it.

We went with Steve's friend Chris from Canberra who LOVES AFL and his beloved Hawthorn, and during the game he listened to the commentary on his radio to keep up with things we might have missed seeing.

I bought a Hawthorn beanie, to go with the scarf Carolyn gave me two years ago, we all had beer or wine (Steve had a dickie seat and it tipped him forward at one point spilling his beer on the older lady in front; she handled it very well) and sausage rolls and a Crunchie bar, I ate all the nails down to my fingers, and I got group hugged by happy drunk Hawthorn fans on the way out of the SCG grounds.

And we finished off the day with a delicious dinner at Bau Truong in Marrickville before crashing for the night (Christ stayed on the fold out couch at Steve's).
