Welcome back to London, it’s cold, it’s grey and it’s wet. Lyn has had to borrow a coat so she doesn’t freeze. We were all happy to laze about and not do much when we returned from Portugal.
Sunday morning we were up early to head to the walkabout, 6am. We figured the first thing Lyn and Kevin did on there visit was to go to the Walkabout, so it would be nice for it also be the last thing that they do. That and it was Grand Final and the Saints were playing the scum from Collingwood. I’m writing this a long time after the event so there is no point in discussing it, but it was an amazing draw and the atmosphere in the pub with a huge crowd, standing room only, was absolutely electric. In the first quarter I thought we had lost it, in the last quarter I thought we had won it! But in the end, a draw.
Exhausted we stumbled back to Dean Court, it’s been a while since I left a pub at 9am! We slept for a bit, went for a run in Hyde Park, had some drinks and dinner in a local Thai restaurant.
Next morning was the end of mum and dad’s trip, one more cooked English breakfast, some farewells and they were on the tube headed to Melbourne via Heathrow and Malaysia.
The rest of the week was spent doing a lot of not much, with a few days work thrown in to the mix.
