Saturday at the footy - and meeting up with some old faces

I got a phone call this morning from John Leahy, an old friend who now lives in the USA and has come back to Bendigo for a visit. He invited me to meet with him and Gary Marchioni, another old friend and go to a football match at Strathfieldsaye. We went there in the afternoon and watched the game between Eaglehawk and Strathfieldsaye. The game wasn't so great, Eaglehawk won fairly easily. It is only the second local match I have ever watched.

I also ran into a few old faces from my past. Ray and Wendy Pilcher were there as was Graham Milner, from Mildura who I have not seen for a while. It was interesting to catch up with some old faces.
