Music and Sport

Went to Leadmill and listened to a band called The Twilight Sad and they were awesome! I think that they cpu;d have played a bit more though but as they were supporting Idlewild I guess they had to keep it fairly short. We left after they'd finished so Idlewild had to do without us.

Went up to Walkabout, an Aussie pub, to watch the 2nd half of the rugby semifinal between France and England. France were winning 9-8 when we got there but England pulled through and played brilliantly in the last 8 minutes and won 14-9!!

I think rugby is a brilliant sport. The men playing are real, tough and proper men. They don't whine and they don't dive. They play on and on and on. It's a violent but beautiful sport and I am absolutely hooked. I don't understand all the rules but I know enough to shout and cheer them on in the right places. I think it's the perfect sport for me to watch. It's not as prissy as football (soccer) and not as static as tennis. They don't really show ice-hockey here in the UK so Rugby is my new favourite game. But if the telly was showing show jumping, 3 day event or dressage I'd still chose that - I haven't gone all mad.


The tight short over a nice little tush and massive muscular thighs have absolutely nothing to do with me liking it so much. Not at all!



England is in Final next Saturday and we'll be in Cape Verde! I hope they'll show it somewhere...
