I found myself watching a bit of footy on TV on Sunday afternoon: St Kilda v Geelong. Discussing with the kids who to barrack for. Carl spent the first year and a bit of his life as a resident of St Kilda. The grandparents live in Geelong. It was a tough call. Julius chimed in: "Is granddad playing?" Given that granddad is Scottish, 75 years old, of not inconsiderable girth, and has demonstrated in the time I have known him zero interest in any kind of ball sports, I had to say that I thought it was unlikely but that we should keep looking out for him just in case. Which gave me an excuse to keep watching the game, when Jules would have been much happier to turn over to Speed Week on SBS.
