Saturday night, after posting again, was the magnificent event that was Fremantle Dockers vs Sydney Swans for a brutal game of Aussie Rules Football at Subiaco Oval! Accompanying the event was the traditional hot dog each, then the special parade & minute silence for the veterans of ANZAC Day. The game was brilliant! We had no idea prior to the match of any of the rules, scoring system or just how you win, but by the end we were seasoned pros, thoroughly supporting the local Fre-o Fre-o Fre-o with our scarves & flags. We shouted, we booed, we cheered, all like locals! (Though we did get some funny looks from real locals with our English accents.) And to be honest, it was pretty easy to understand, when you were watching. It's like a cross between rugby, netball (honestly) and football, so we were both happy - and already hankering to see another game in Sydney! Though the derby between Freo and West Coast Eagles is next weekend, so NO chance of getting tickets for that.

Sunday we had our 'cheap' day planning the rest of our week, phoning home and enjoying a local creperie which was delicious! Then Monday we went to the cinema to see the BRILLIANT film that is The Boat That Rocked. Full of English totty (Nick Frost, Billy Nighy and Kenneth Branagh to name a few) and absolutely hilarious; the best bit was possibly the taunting of an australian character, don't think the rest of the audience appreciated that as much as we do. Go Brits! It seems about the right time also to mention the resurrection of Woolworths over here, in supermarket form?! Mental. More detailed posts to come, promise! :S
