Managed to grab a few minutes on Saturday night to watch the England vs. France semi-final in the Rugby World Cup. Thanks to an early - and very opportunistic - try, England built an early lead and stole momentum from the French attack. Despite going into the second half 6-5 behind, England defended extremely well and Wilkinson's boot finally came good and there were enough points to be had to take the game.
It will be a tough match against South Africa in the final, though. Alas, I'll be in Page, Arizona, over the weekend, therefore missing out on both the rugby and the last race in the F1 season. However, I'll record the F1 race and given we're in the wilds of Arizona I should therefore be able to steer clear of knowing the result until I get back ... if I can muster up the self control not to peek of course. And assuming no one sends me a rogue e-mail (hint, hint) crowing about how great Hamilton's performance was.
We're taking a few days break to explore around Rainbow Plateau and the Grand Canyon, including a night or two in Sedona. Over the weekend we'll be doing a photographic course at Antelope Canyon and the surrounding area, a Navajo reservation. Yup, expect to suffer through pictures of red rocks for a while, therefore!

What’s the difference between an all black and an arsonist??? An arsonist wouldn’t waste five matches
Heard about the All Blacks new bra? All support but no cup.
There was a fire in Snow White’s cabin in the forest and she ran around desperately checking if the dwarfs were alright. There was a groan and she said “Sleepy’s fine!” and a growl and she said “Grumpy is alright” and so on, but she couldn’t find the seveth one until she heard someone say “The French are going to still win” and she said ” There - thank God - Dopey is okay!”
Good stuff! Liked the All Blacks one in particular.
Crunch weekend this one - Rugby final and the last GP of 2007. Fingers crossed on both counts!
