WHAT A WEEKEND!!!!

We spent most of Saturday in the pub watching the rubgy. Go Australia!!!

What an awesome result, it felt really good to have revenge after the world cup.

After the game Paul and I went up to sing 'You're the Voice' by John Farnham at the Karaoke. We had support from some other Aussies in the pub but most of them were English.

On Sunday, my team in the football (soccer) won as well.
Go Tottenham Hotspurs... we went to watch them at White Hart Lane.
Paul wasn't very happy since Arsenal lost. Yiddo...

Here are some photos of our weekend. I hope you enjoy.

This is an old ruin which is a home to lots of cats. There was a sign which said do not feed the cats because there are people who actually come and feed them.
