So here goes.....
LETS GO ALL BLACKS LETS GO! 27-17 YEAH BABY!!!!
So in the midst of a driving rain and some nice black sky and clouds, we got to be drenched for the sake of a SWEET game of rugby, ALLBLACKS vs. IRELAND. And lucky me, I got shouted my ticket by Gavin's big brother Darragh, and ended up doing my absolute best to out shout him, their sister Orla, and their English friend Vicki. But, it was totally worth the sore throats and the drenching, because we took it out in the second half for a good 10 point win. Lots of Irish were there, and it was great to have some good kiwi experience and cheering and have an allround good night. I tell you, when the Rugby World Cup is on, I will be glued to a screen in a pub somewhere in Vancouver, the haka still brings shivers down my spine!!!
Life here is going alright, it's good settling into my new job, I am now the "Information and Advice officer" at the RNZFB, and it's been going really well, Monday is my first day of having total free reign of the desk, so yeah 0800 callers be prepared!
Support raising is going well, the Pizza magnet has so far been a hit, all of them are gone, the other ones are moving much slower! but more pizza ones will be printed by monday so it's all good.
Mum and Adeline are watching Troy, terrible movie, but seriously (and i know it's tacky and superficial) but between Bradd Pitt, Eric Bana, and Sean Bean, it is a seriously good looking cast :)
Anyways, it's strange to think that if all goes well I will be back in Vancouver in less than 9 weeks. It seems pretty crazy actually, but at the same time I am excited. Am stocking up on Kiwiana to take back too, maybe not too much, but definately an All Blacks flag to add to the Kiwi one I have in storage there in Jacqui's living room.
Okay,
bed and warm dry snuggly pajamas are calling.
Love you lots and lots
