More football
We didn't do much once we got back from the Blue Mountains. I was working Wed - Fri and Sean was working Thurs and Fri.
On Saturday we took Pam and Paul to see the Mighty Waratahs at the Aussie Stadium since Mike and Donna had enjoyed it when they went.
More rugby
The 'Tahs were playing against a New Zealand team called the Crusaders. The odds against the 'Tahs were 7:1. Paul spotted a few players from the All Blacks in the opposition, which may explain this. The 'Tahs rose to the challenge of a decent opposition team and upped their game enormously. In the end they only lost 33-34 and had they converted either of their last two tries they would have won. Well played by both sides; a good game. The stadium was a bit fuller too, there are a lot of Kiwis living in Sydney and I think this ups the rivalry.
In the interval, we were treated to some competitive wood chopping by both sides. The 'Tahs redeemed themselves by winning this.
The Crusaders' wood chopper. They can play football, but can they chop wood?
On Sunday we went and had a wander round the Indian Holi festival. According to my diary Holi was a few weeks ago, but this was definitely a Holi festival; there was an arena where you could go and chuck coloured paint at each other. I wanted to go in but no-one else was particularly struck by the idea. One day I will go to India and chuck coloured paint at people.
We then hung around Darling Harbour until Zaaffran opened. Sean and I had visited this modern Indian restaurant before and vowed to go back but this time it excelled itself.
We ordered the Chef's Special Banquet served on a silver platter and served on a silver platter it was. All the curries were good, beef vindaloo (second from the right) was my favourite and butter chicken (second from the left) my second favourite.
Mmmm, curry
