The Wettest and Windiest

It’s been a rather “blah” sort of day today, extremely wet, cold and miserable.  In fact, the TV weather report tonight said that here in the Wellington Region we won the prize for being the wettest and the windiest part of the country.  With one of us suffering from a bad throat, and the other from a gout attack, we were feeling rather sorry for ourselves.  Just as well the cook had a big pot of soup bubbling on the stove for lunch, and roast pork with all the trimmings for dinner tonight. 

After the evening meal Robin relaxed in front of the TV and watched the second All Blacks versus Ireland rugby test – that cheered him up no end.  But with 10 minutes to go, the score was 19 all.  Those last minutes of the game were full of tension, but then a Dan Carter drop goal right at the end and All Blacks won 22 to 19.  Rugby mad Robin retired to bed a happy man.
