It just so happens it is both today.
The Worriors beat Canberra early last week, much to everyone's surprise. Then they got thumped by the Mariners on Saturday, one of the few teams they have beaten this season. Some very dubious refereeing but despite that they weren't at their best ( if they actually have a best). Ridge has completely fucked his shoulder, shouldn't have played at all.
I nearly put money on ACT Brumbies playing Auckland Blues. Top of the table clash, Blues down a few key players. Odds were pretty good for ACT, paying around $3.25. Would have been a stupid bet.
Half time score was 15-3 to Auckland. Then they score three quick tries, up to 41 points, then Brumbies score three quick tries, go to 29. Very fast moving game, 10 tries scored all up. Auckland now top, Brumbies 4th, and Wellington have a chance of making it into the top four. Last week someone put $700000 on Auckland who won by 1 point against Canterbury and won $750K for his efforts. Ouch! They (Blues) play Gauteng Lions (Natal) at home next weekend.
Roger Randle has been cleared of rape charge, after DNA tests. Silly bitch. Sounds like she was pissed off at him because he told her to piss off from the room he was sharing with another player who probably had managed a consensual version of the activity Randle was accused of. His girlfriend who has a 6 month old baby with his input was a complete mess after the charge was announced.
Pretty good weekend, sunny until late last night. Went to see radio control aircraft at an open day yesterday. Bambi's plane wouldn't start (the Amway guy, Barry). (Koos- Philly's dad was there, and Terry and Jacob too). Also bumped into a friend of Mum's who used to teach at my primary school.
Kids went to a play on Saturday morning, while I ran some errands on my own, which was a nice change. Had Ross and Kath over for dinner on Saturday night. They snuck in and deposited some easter eggs around the back yard and then took the kids out to look for them. Major discussions about who had how many. Ross has hurt his leg pretty badly so tried to play tennis with three people last night, was actually quite good, except the lights in my club don't go on Sundays because of that bloody awful resource management act.
Having a fitness test tomorrow night. Will be interesting to compare to last one from late Feb. Am not so hyped up about this one, last one I was shitting myself.
Did a bit of weeding and cultivating yesterday when I got bored. Trimmed the roses. Helped a few climbers to climb appropriately. Found some flexible boxing type stuff at the garden centre yesterday, will buy some so I finally do that bloody border for my vege garden, then I can get moving on growing some veges. Trying to decide whether or not to kill off the kaikouia and replant. Bastard bloody stuff. Feijoas coming thick and fast. The really big one finally fell off yesterday. No sign of ripening on Lemon or Grapefruit but Mandarins are turning yellow. Some guy in Christchurch picked a pumpkin that weighed 151kg. Mine don't get that big.
Gavin's still got a sore back. Everyone else is recovering. Did I tell you Kath's dad broke a rib and twisted his ankle, then Sue's (Kath's sister) boy Jarad jammed a screwdriver up his nose which had to be surgically removed. Tania's mother and sister both hurt their backs. Everyone has hurt themselves in the last two weeks. Spooky.
My sister gave my mother a blast last week, don't know if it has done any good. She is still having wedding in Tassie. I suppose it is the appropriate place. She didn't want to do it in NSW because they both got married there before. We reckon she should move to the US so she doesn't run out of states. Life is much easier with her in another country.
Big discussions about pit bulls after that guy got killed last weekend. Helen Clark reckons an election could be called any time. Police seem to be getting worse, not answering 111 calls and private security firms being hired in the richer suburbs.
