Commonwealth Games 2006

The past few months saw me trying to get tickets for the Commonwealth games…it didn’t even really matter what I saw anymore…I just wanted to go to something…anything...

...

On Thursday I was talking to colleague from work about the commonwealth games and whether or not he was going to see anything. He mentioned that he would really like to see the Rugby 7’s play, before proceeding to tell me all the ins and outs of the game!! However, he ended by saying that he would only go if he received tickets...

Hmmm…that set my mind ticking!! I jumped onto the net and searched for tickets, only to find that the Rugby 7’s were playing that day, night, and the following Friday day and night. As we had to work there was no way he could attend the day games so that left only 2 night sessions. I searched for tickets and to my dismay, found that there were only seats left for that night’s game! Talk about last minute!! I signalled for another colleague to come into my office and I quickly told her of my plan, wanting her to check my other colleague’s diary to make sure he had nothing planned for the night. She reported the good news and I quickly purchased tickets, collected them during my lunch break, and handed them over to him in the afternoon!!

He was SO happy to receive a gift – and even more so when he realised it was Rugby 7’s tickets!!

...

And then on Sunday morning I got a call from my cousins asking me if I wanted to go watch the hockey with them…3rd row seats and the best stand in the house since they had gotten the tickets by ballot earlier on!!



Nina - this ones for you!



The aussie boys hard at work...



Mike, Jon & Ben not hard at work!!



Perfect weather…fantastic company…a LONG walk from the station to the field – but an Australian flag on a stick to wave the whole way there!! Haha
