Tim and Hayley (Alex and Ted) came to stay for the weekend from Sydney.
Tim had managed to scrounge 4 tickets to the big rugby game at Canberra Stadium, so for the second time in as many weeks I made the trip to north Canberra along with Andy and Simon.
If I'm honest the rugby had a lot more atmosphere than the football, perhaps because Brumbies (the Canberra team) attract a regular crowd whereas the lot watching the football were all strangers to each other.
Tim started in fine voice with his support of Waratahs, the Sydney team (causing the guy in front of us to change seats!) but grew steadily quieter as the game moved in favour of the Canberra team.
After some awful kicking by the Waratahs, the Brumbies emerged victorious (21-11) and we headed into Kingston for a (very rare) pint (or large/pot/schooner or whatever it was) and the obligatory kebab.
