Reports this morning of a strange lid-shaped object rocketing up and out of Optus Stadium last night… Freo fans hope you’ve booked your Melbourne flights for September because there won’t be many left after that performance. You love to see it.
Have a lovely weekend — we’ll see ya Monday!

EAT & DRINK
This nature-playground in Guildford has an adjoining pub for the big kids!
Is it a pub with a kids’ playground? Or a playground that has a built-in pub to keep the big kids fed and watered?
Whichever way you look at it, somewhere the adults can enjoy a freshly-poured tap beer and eat a meal in peace while the little kids romp around a safely-gated undercover playground is a winner in our books.
And Percy’s Playground, located at the back of the Stirling Arms Hotel in Guildford, is quickly becoming one of our favourite family-friendly spots, for the above reasons and many more.
