Living for the moment

For most of my life I’ve lived on organisation and planning, but as I expand my circle of friends and social options, this is changing. For example, the weekend was looking quiet and relaxing until Saturday mid-morning it was decided my friend and I would go to the footy at the Telstra Dome (yes I’m going to keep calling it that).

I only managed to get to one game last season, and it still holds novelty for me after all those years in England, so I was very much excited, no matter how little it mattered and how small a crowd was there. Even better – we managed to sit just two rows back from the oval, another novelty for me.

Granted my team (Adelaide Crows) lost, but it was still good to feel the atmosphere (even with the small crowd) and see the game being played for real (the players just don’t try when they have their exhibition game in London!)

Now that I’ve tasted it again, I’m keen to see more this season, and I’ve learnt that last-minute plans aren’t necessarily bad or scary!
