It has been an exceptional weekend, with two invitations to share meals with the family of Y, which we found very enjoyable, with a fine selection of Lebanese dishes in two different households on the east side of the city. Tabbouli, Hommus, Baba Ganoush, Kibbeh among other savoury dishes and a range of delectable sweets.
I was fortunate that my hosts were mindful of the importance of the business end of the AFL season, had their TVs on so that those of us who were interested could keep track of what was happening at the MCG.
Last night, the Saints turned on a stellar performance in defeating the Collingwood Magpies by 34 points, and move into a Preliminary Final next week against Hawthorn. Driven by a desire to give Harvey one last tilt at a Premiership, the Saints may yet play in a grandfinal on the 27th September.
In an apparently equally intriguing and tension ridden game, the Wallabies went down to the All Blacks in Brisbane in a tight 24-28 result. Regular SMS updates during the evening meant that I did not miss out on all of the excitement.
