SETANTA SPORT/ greece versus russia / european championships of course!!!

Comment Published at 12:0612:066 comments6 comments53 Visits53 VisitsReport

hi everyone

yeah its almost 5am in melbourne australia. what am i doing!!

watching football(soccer ) of course

i woke at 3.30am as my boys had set alarm to watch greece versus russia. yeah plasma screen not good enough here they have to have the atmosphere so they have gone to a bar to watch it on the big screen with a group of other australian/greek fans

we saw the tail end of spain versus sweden and spain won 2 /1 looks like spain has definately got to the next set of finals. in each group of four the top two advance.

once im awake very hard for me t go back to bed so voila here i am on minti.

i wanted to hit the markets and garage sales so lets hope i will have enough energy and strength to see me through the day.

my ironing board just went on me so i dont fancy spending all that money on a new one so who knows what i might find?

im not in a hurry i can iron on flat surface til one becomes available

although here in melbourne we also have end of financial year sales or stock take sale as they are called so who knows but im biding my time.

im more cautious with spending money left right and centre.otherwise you end up with so much clutter.

have a good morning/ night wherever you are around the world and if your lucky to be in summer enjoy it!

cheers annie

Enjoy the football hope you have enough energy to get to the market and you might even be lucky enough to find yourself a good bargain on a ironing board

hi ems

thanks  i hope your well.yeah garage sales in very elite areas are the way to go but unfortunately i havent got the local paper to see where they are so im just going to drive and hope for the best. otherwise midweek i will get my hands on a local paper advertising for the following weekend.

but i will bide my time.

cheers annie

yeah unfortunately russia just scored 1/ nil bad for greece they need to win or equalise

help!

35 minutes gone almost half time

yeah we have woolies here too sales are everywhere i just have to take  a step back and ask myself do i really need this?

temptation to have things is great but most of the time i really dont need it. my SIL sews so she is going to sew some new sheets together to make them into doona covers because i dont need sheets unless they are fitted.

doona covers i need. so theres a problem solved.

cheers annie

Re: SETANTA SPORT/ greece versus russia / european championships of course!!!

in australia we sports fans are used to getting up and watching games at 3am. when greece won the european championship in 2004 we didnt have sentanta (by  the way unlike england we have to pay for it to watch and you need a satellite dish which we have because we pay to also have the greek tv stations) so we went to a bar to watch it with hubby on big screen

the atmosphere was awesome it was being shown on one of our local stations but its better when your watching with a large group.

melbourne and sydney have a large european background (even third generation australians) who will get up  at 3 in the morning just to watch

unfortunately our time zone means we do spend a lot of sleepless nights but australians are such fanatics when it comes to sport. whether it be tennis cricket football rugby golf. the list is never ending.

yeah wimbeldon when we watch it again its in the middle of the night for us if we want to see it live as we are 9 hours ahead of england (give or take 1hour for daylight saving)
