Well well well.  A draw – which is just like kissing your brother a la Angelina Jolie.  Can’t believe the Wallabies got out of that one without a loss…or a win…or something. Well done!

But what a torrid and horrible affair.  It was stinking hot and humid. DUMB time of year to play a game in the subtropics. Stupid ARU – but that’s hopefully the last half-arsed decision John O’Neill gets to make.  An 8pm kickoff, which means it was 9pm for the Mexicans on daylight savings and 3 hours later (instead of 2) for our friends across the ditch.

The HAKA – the cut throat one, not the original

I wrote yesterday that you have to go far to find a Kiwi supporter that sticks the boot in for no reason. Not that far, as it turns out, section 730 is the distance.  There was a whole row of them, in fact. I don’t mind excitable commentary, the history lessons, the constant attempts to troll back inside their minds for a name that alludes them entirely (for the record, it was Frank Bunce you were trying to remember, you dipsticks), but I do mind being covered in your stinking beer before the anthems are sung and the affected accents that seemed to get stronger as the game progressed.  Oh, and if you could mind your effing language when you’re in a section with kids, that’d also be awesome!

As for the game – I have NEVER seen the All Blacks show their frustration like that before.  They were seriously pissed off. The Wallabies were up in their faces (with knees, foreheads and hands a-groping) and the Ref took care of the rest.  The number of errors and subsequent penalties took your attention away from the defence! defence! approach of the Aussies. Solid effort in scrambling tackles and the numbers at the ruck was the best in ages. But the stop/start of it all was farcical. I hope the Aussies take some heart from the effort, but for mine, I’d have loved an attacking game of running rugby – even if we lost it.

DEFENCE

Bedlam before. Bookcase after.
New moon in Taurus.
Back to work tomorrow after a much too short break. Prep to make things a little more pleasant. Anzac slice and banana bread. #podlife
I had a great night graduating Gin School. Brisbane Distillery at West End has a cool vibe and the class room is terrific. I made an ink gin with botanicals of agave, elderberry, green cardamom, orange blossom and wild rosella. Yum. #ginschool #gin #brisbane
I’d like to thank Australia Post for unknowingly supporting my effort to be an adult. To keep is in the wallets. To shred is in the postbox. #idontknowwhereigotitfromiswear #declutter #paperless #mortgageprep
Decluttering all the things and found a print out of this amongst my “things to journal about” prompt box. This birthday week I’m taking some time to break from the stress and grind of adulting. Nature is a great healer. Thanks for the reminder @chrisevans. Water the plants. Talk to the trees. Watch the birds. Support the bees. 💚❤️🐝🌻
Let’s go Australia. #ausvotes
Pretty sky. #scenicrim #queensland #nofilter
It’s been a week, hasn’t it? I’m taking the evening to rest. No chores. Nothing for me to have to/ should do - it can all wait til the morning. #rest #timeout #reset
So that’s a lot for one day. #bnestorm #subtropics #rain
There’s a storm water drain under there somewhere. Might not need to pay for a pool now. #bnestorm #subtropics #brisbane
Best find in a desk drawer EVER. #podlife #smallthings
Feels like 10 degrees cooler. #bnestorm #subtropics #brisbane
Low hanging moon. #brisbane
Found an old art box shelf insert and repurposed for my tarot and oracles decks. It feels so much better!! No more messy individual bags. #tarot #oracle #tarotdecks
Tonight I am moving random stickers left on pages into a reusable sticker book and it’s about as much as my brain can handle. It’s been a week. And yes, I am that planner type. #IYKYK #bujo #planner #travelersnotebook
Had to swap out my 2022 diary to my Tom Brady cover in honour of the 🐐 #tomfuckingbrady #tombrady #tb12 #travelersnotebook #bujo #goat #patsnation #newenglandpatriots
Industrious little stingers. #garden #wasps
Day 10. Growing a leek. Nearly time to plant. #garden
Day 5. Regrowing a leek. #garden
