Too Close for Comfort

Well here I am late as usual of a Monday.  Merril and I go off to a prayer meeting at 6am of a Monday.  We did that then went for breaky at Banjo’s.  After that we had packed in the car a pile of stuff for the treasure market that had not gone at our markets.  We are home now.  Merril is going out again at around 10am.
I had gotten up a little later than usual.  I had woken at 3 something and thought I will get up at 4.  But when I awoke it was 4 something.  I got straight out of bed then, but knew I did not have enough time to do a post before I left.
I know many people that read this do not follow football.  I must confess I watched the men’s final last evening which we won 26/22 in a come from behind effort.  I was actually pretty surprised (but pleased) we won.
I really think this is a not to be repeated time.  Having the men’s team and women’s team win the rugby league final along with the men’s afl team winning.  Just having three teams in the finals is pretty awesome, but all three teams getting up I cannot see happening again.  All that remains is for the women’ afl Brisbane team to make the finals and win and that would be like a clean sweep.  But they are 5th and the final is not till November sometime.  Big ask I reckon.
But the game last night was a beauty and so tense.  Especially at the end where we had lost arguably two of our best players in Renolds and Hunt.  But Brisbane were hungry.  Everyone that came on stood up and repelled wave after wave of attack.
I was so pleased when the final hooter went.
I am not a good watcher when I am invested in a team.  I tend not to watch and await the result.  Last night I watched.  The week before I was in a meeting and Merril texted me the scores.    Again we were behind and our score crept up until finally I did a double take when Merril texted our win.
So although I know a number of people are not into it, I thought I would comment today as it was something I was really keen about, that turned out for the best.
