With pride!


Huzzah! We are champions again!

What a weekend :)

It's been a long time since we had such a South Africa orientated day- surrounded by Saffers, potjie for lunch, the Boks on the box.. all that was missing was a cold Castle.

But dammit, my nerves before the match were shot to shit. When they actually kicked off there was a few seconds of relaxing, then they just froze up again. 80 minutes has never vanished like that (without adding sambuca into the equation)!

I really do feel for England- if they were playing anyone but SA in the final I would have been shouting for them just as much. No Hollywood ending for them though, not this time.

They might do better if they realise that the 14 guys next to Jonny Wilkinson are also playing in the same match. Ah well. Only 4 years to go eh?

Now all that's left is to decide how smug I should be at work tomorrow...

The missus has posted a couple of bits about our trip to Greece...I've been procrastinating about doing one myself- a battle between the urge to say how great it was and share the minutae of our adventures and my own innate laziness which begs me to do nothing.

So I've reached a compromise with myself- hopefully these are worth their thousand words.
