Friday night was the big Essendon vs Hawthorn match at Etihad, which is the game of the year for us! Liam is a massive Hawks fan, and I am an avid Bomber and we attend most games for both team every weekend, so this clash was some major rivalry for us.
There was a lone seagull who appeared to have been trapped in the stadium when they closed the roof, and the poor little thing appeared to be hiding in the painted white part of the ground, to camouflage itself!
Unfortunately, as an Essendon supporter the little seagull was probably the most entertaining thing to watch as the game itself was a dismal disaapointment from start to finish.
Luckily it wasn't all bad this weekend. I got to see this little guy -
And we caught up with Liam's dad and best mate over a yummy lunch and a few games of pool.
Can you believe this delicious steak only cost $13?! Plus an extra $3 for the sauce, but still so worth it!
I overheard an interesting conversation on the tram late at night, about a bubble tea diet. A young gentleman explained to his friend that he was off to get a bubble tea fix. Apparently, it was the best way to go since bubble tea is very low in fat, but the fact that there is something to chew on satisfies his craving for solid food. GENIUS! Except what he forgot to mention is that a cup of bubble tea equates to around 400 calories per serve.
But that's just a minor detail!
I'm totally on board with this bubble tea diet! :)
While at the shops, I also picked up these cute ninja earphones! Unfortunately, the rubber on the earpieces were shoddy so I took them back and exchanged them for adorable little matryoshkas instead!
Did a bit of a tidy up in my bedroom, and realised I have quite a collection of scarves!
Just ignore that horrible Hawthorn scarf nestled in there. It's Liam's and it is horrid and full of germs and other bad things! Terrible terrible colours. But yes, I realised pretty quickly that I was starting to run out of room for storage of scarves! It's not just one layer either...
The wall of scarves is approximately 4 or so scarves thick, and the hanger has seven loops lengthwise and about 4 across. Now I understand why Liam always has a look of horror on his face whenever I wander into the accessories section to look at scarves! Oh well. At least I know I'll always be warm!
And now I've taken so long to finish this post that it's time for lunch! I've got a delicious chicken and salad roll which my lovely man prepare for me last night... YUM!

Half a day down... another four and a half to go until the weekend!!!
Your scarf collection reminds me of mine. I've got those IKEA scarf storage things and keep them in the wardrobe. Check them out when you get a chance :) x
ReplyDeleteMs Jelena! Welcome back :) xx
DeleteWhat IKEA scarf storage is that?! I've got them hanging on one of those Komplement storage hangers there, but it's still so overcrowded!
That steak looks amazing! nomnomnom. Also really jealous of your scarf collection! Have you tried tying them on to hangers and hanging them in your closet? That's how I store mine! They're super easy to see then, and take up almost no space. AND! the best part is you don't have to spend extra money since you're just using coat hangers!
ReplyDeleteIt was one of the better steaks I've had! And such good value too.
DeleteI actually think I might have too many scarves to use hangers, and I don't have a whole lot of hanging space spare at the moment. The scarves are actually currently hanging on an IKEA komplement hanger which was about $7 and has 28 loops. Each loop has 2 - 4 scarves draped through it though, so it's actually fairly good for the price! :)
LOL bubble tea diet! i love that stuff but for 400 calories there are wayy more stuff more satisfying and filling. I love those earphones!
ReplyDeleteHaha! I know, I couldn't stop laughing. He was telling her all about how good it was because he was getting the satisfaction of chewing but with no fat so it would be great! And all I could think of was how fattening a bubble tea actually is :)
DeleteHow yum and healthy does your morning tea look?!
ReplyDeleteI know quite a few disillusioned Bombers supporters (we live a couple of minutes from Windy Hill so there's plenty around here!).
At least you beat Carlton :-P
It was so tasty, but the garlic bits tasted a little bitter. Next time I'm going to just add a bit of seasoning, or perhaps a little parmesan if I'm feeling indulgent! :)
DeleteI refuse to discuss football at the moment haha! So disappointing...
Girl I am back (from the land of the sick and flu)...
ReplyDeleteI wanted to tell you that I went to Stolberg for lunch a few weeks ago :)
Sick and flu, noooo! Hope you're all better now :)
DeleteYES, did you like it?! My lunch in the above post was at the Stolberg! And I am already trying to work out when I can re-visit because I am craving that steak again. It was soooo good.
I had a parma and it was SO HUGE. And seriously i managed to eat a few forkfuls. Looks like I should have had steak. The boys had margherita pizza but D made me remove the pesto dollops on it. HAHAHA
DeleteI have a tea towel rack for my scarves but it is totally overflowing and my boyfriend gives me a certain look everytime it pops the cupboard door open! But I love scarves, maybe I just need to have less in daily rotation!
