ah - another rainy sunday!!
Yesterday was pretty good, I saw the All Blacks play the Springboks in Tri-Nations rugby. The atmosphere at the Oliver Twist was great as fans from both teams were load and boisterous watching the match. Friendly taunts on the poor play from both sides flowed with the pints of lager and as most in attendance play for Rugby Club Zürich.
The All Blacks started off slowly and were soon down 11-0 before coming back to end the half 23-11 and would continue in the second half winning 45-26.
Watching the match and having fun with the team (I played with Zürich for a bit a few years ago), it brought back fond memories from my times with Worcester RFC in Massachusetts. Good times indeed! Especially the tours.... what goes on tour - stays on tour (well before Vegas!!)
As the pints flowed and time slipped by, I finally made my way home later then planned and stopped off for my ritual Kebap at Deny's next door. As a card member my next one will be free! haha
Arriving home tired and well fed, I slept until 2am kick-off for the New England Patriots game. I was online with NFL.com and listening to the game over their Field Pass broadcast from local Boston favorites Gino Capelletti and Gil Santos. I was also chatting online with people from the US at the Boston Globe's Patriots Chat.
The Patriots beat the Redskins 41-0 in their 3rd preseason game and QB Tom Brady played well in the first half throwing to a number of players, most notably to Ben Watson and not to Deion Branch who is still holding out on his contract.....
So I went to bed about 6am as I also caught some of the postgame show and the interviews with Coach Belichick and Tom Brady...
With today being Sunday and rainy it is a good day to relax. Again went to Bubbles Cafe and read a bit and wrote some more... now it is time to catch a movie and fall asleep...
And in case you didn't notice I finally updated the site with some pics from the Zürich Street Parade ->
