Alaine in Melbourne - Part 2

Very disappointed not to have seen Uncle Grant in Melbourne but he was at a photo shoot for Vogue (or his magazine?).

A couple of photos of Nick's support, taken after the game. Nick is muddy but I don't think I saw him make one tackle. He tells me he adbides by the Roff motto "No pain, no pain". Nick was named man of the match by Julia, Amanda, Dom and myself for his ability to draw in players and the quickly off load to set up glorious tries. He also converted like a champ.

If you look closely at Amanda's poncho, you will see Brownie and Girl Guides Badges for activities she never attempted. My favourtites are the ski boot, Redhead Brownie Camp (I attended it one year) and the footpath badge. A lady at the cafe stopped to tell Amanda how impressive it is that she wears her badges with pride. Amanda responded that she is pleased to be able to wear someone else's badges with pride.

A big thanks to Nick and Dom for their hospitality. Their house is amazing and I think we should all meet up there for a backyard party in summer. You can iron your clothes in the bathroom and Dom makes a mean triple deck toastie when you are feeling a bit rough.

Indy's baby, Jordan, is massive. My weak arms struggled under his 8.5kg (at 4 months).

I can't wait for my next Melbourne visit in August. I expect Melbourne Uni to be in the Finals and Jordan to be 12kg.
