(Friday) I can't believe this rain
It is so wet and so cold....it feels like it's been raining forever. For some stupid reason I went to watch the rugby, even though Wellington couldn't beat a team of schoolgirls in the wet. Naturally we lose, although at least there was a bit of fight to the game, and it wasn't a disgraceful performance by any means.

Christian Cullen's last game at Wellington. *sniff*. The man is a legend and I can't believe he didn't make the All Blacks this year. How John Mitchell can be the only person in the country who doesn't realise Cullen is one of our 26 best players, I don't know.

Some schadenfreude (German: pleasure at the misfortune of others) taken from the fact that the rain has caused slips that have blocked the roads up the coast. Anyone who came down for the game is stuck in town. Whereas I live walking distance to the stadium.

Michael is down from Auckland for his uncle's 70th, and we're supposed to be catching up soon. I have no motivation, I'm cold and wet and like being inside by the heater.

Oh, and I managed to gain a reputation as the hard man of indoor netball today. Normal people play netball as a non-contact sport. Not me. I was barging into the other team, which meant I conceded a lot of penalties, but I'm sure put them off their game completely, helping us to win (32-31!). Of course, netball's a mixed game and the players I was marking tended to be girls about half my size, so it was all a bit unfair, but that isn't really my problem.
