All Blacks beat Oz, 39-10






Hi everyone,

We're having a nice weekend here in NZ. The entire household headed to the pub in Newtown to watch the rugby. The All Blacks thrashed Australia in the Tri-Nations match, we drank nice beer (I had Tuatara Pilsner, yum), and a good time was had by all. The first picture is us in front of the famous All Black haka, although I think my favorite part was seeing Australia's sneers in response. Hilarious.

Today is Rory's birthday, and we're celebrating it by being as lazy as possible. It is now afternoon, and we're still in our pyjamas. The five of us (housemates plus Colin, our guest) are going out to the Cheeky Pipi for a Sunday roast in a couple of hours. He got up this morning to find the table full of cards and pressies...I got him a trio of NZ short story books, Nik and Sara got him a thermous for drinking tea on the beach, and even Colin bought him a birthday cake. It is always difficult to have a winter birthday, especially when you've had a summer birthday every other year of your life...!

I'll take some photos at the birthday dinner, and hope to post them tonight.

Love, Amy
