Nothing major happening to speak of.
Blues had a weekend off. Chiefs beat Queensland, Otago beat some South African team. Our Rugby Sevens team, after winning the last three HK 7's went and got beaten hard by South Africa in the semi-final. They were up 14-0 against Fiji in the final, then Fiji came back and won 24-21. Bet there will be heaps of celebrating in Suva today. I was there about four years ago when they were beaten by Australia at HK and the next day they were in mourning. They take their 7's very seriously. At least SA didn't win (bastards). Kath's dad Tony went to see the tournament. Wish I could go.
The one dayer at Eden Park got rained out on Saturday and again on Sunday. Ground was very wet although sunny most of yesterday.
Went to the Gym on Saturday morning, in the rain. Then went and played interclub tennis for 3 1/2 hours. Quite buggered, really. Lost, which makes matters worse. Didn't play as well as I could, but I was pretty knackered. Wind was really bad. And to be honest my shoes were wrong and my racket was playing up and the government didn't help. Not my fault at all. Last interclub of the season in two weeks.
We had three twisters and two waterspouts during the Round the Bays run yesterday. Ross and Kath were there. 80,000 people in all, they reckon. Absolutely bucketed down between 9 and 11.
Did more bits of gardening. Feijoas looking good. Ready to rip everything out of the vege garden and start afresh. Found some Kauri seeds at Allan's place yesterday, so will try to grow some seedlings. Have decided to try and rip out all the buffalo grass (how the hell do you spell kaikuya?). Damn stuff that I sprayed a week or two ago isn't exactly dying yet. Will concrete the new edging maybe next weekend. Fiddled around in preparation for it yesterday but didn't have time to do the real thing.
Star Wars opens here on Wednesday, will take Rory over Easter. We watched it on video to prepare for the big event.
My mother went home on Tuesday, nobody died. My grandmother goes to hospital to have eye surgery today. Probably go see her on my way home from Hamilton on Wednesday.
Diana went to see The English Patient on Saturday afternoon with Allan and Jackie, then they all talked about it for hours yesterday afternoon. Put me off entirely. They reckon it will get an Oscar tonight/tomorrow.
Kids are okay. Rory is practising his writing and is recognising most letters now. Is beginning to become literate, takes a lot of work, really. Hannah can write an H, but I reckon she is just drawing a goalpost and she wants to be the next Number 2 for the All Blacks after Sean Fitzpatrick retires in 2014.
Hope everyone is having a wonderful time.
