hello there.
we went to the rugby at the local stadium this evening. it was japan vs france and we supported both teams. although i think, like most of the crowd, we quickly sided with the underdogs (japan) who put up a good fight. there was a great turn out from both french and japanese supporters and the stadium looked mostly full.
below is a colleague from work (with the hat on) i spotted a few rows away. he’s normally really quiet but was busy jumping up and shouting random things during the quieter moments!
here’s us watching the all blacks last night …
this morning jane went out for a run early and then kezia had a music party at a friend’s house to celebrate the fact her friend had reached the end of one of her music books! So the girl’s piano teacher came along and they had a little concert and kezia did a couple of pieces and that was all good
meanwhile esther and i went to play mini golf where there it was just us and 4 drunk (but good natured) rugby fans at 11am !
esther and i also went to a swimming pool shop to start our mental preparation for getting the pool ready for swimming (when it gets a bit warmer). we also went for lunch and ice creams and browns bay and took a book about memory back to the library which i’d nearly forgotten i had.
we parked near our old house to get the stadium so were able to use some local knowledge to find a good park(ing spot). it turned out perfect for getting back home after too!
finally, i’ll leave you with one of the many mexican waves which came washing by
