Rugby at Cardiff

I went to see Wales play South Africa today at the Millenium Stadium, Cardiff.
Good match with the final score 15 - 20. The tickets were 50 quid and we went by train (Reading to Cardiff) which also cost 50 quid! The train was packed, with people having to stand in the aisles for the entire journey (over one and a half hours).

There's a great atmosphere at live matches, though the televised matches are so good that I missed the commentary. Quite a few people paid 5 quid for a referees radio - maybe I ought to try that next time.

Partisan remarks about how the Boks withstood the late onslaught from Wales here:

Work Life Balance - Part Deux

What happened to the last three months? Well my work life balance "seesaw" went down hard on the work side. Then last week I took a one week holiday with the family - and went to Rome (more about that later).

So now I'm changing my role at work and refocussing.

It's great - I'm starting to think about what to do with my evenings (I've been working most evenings over the last three months).

Hopefully I'll also start writing again too.
