I've watched every match of the Rugby World Cup so far - my poor partner is dealing with it so well. The whistle blows must echo in her dreams now.. But last night Uruguay beat Fiji! Fiji! Who a week ago pushed the previous World Cup finalist, Australia, for most of their match. Uruguay! It was fantastic, up there with Japan beating South Africa in 2015 - a truly monumental occasion for the sport. Japan had a 100% win ratio with one of the powerhouses of the sport, as that was the only time they had ever met (until this year and South Africa soundly beat them, but shh). Uruguay may have won the final with the tears on display. So nice. Tweaked my back warming up for deadlifts. The hardest part is explaining the weight being used at the time - the gym regulars assumed it was something heavy and monstrous but nay, 120kg. I have a habit of slacking off throughout the warm up sets and not taking them seriously.. Hopefully this recent tweak beats that mindset back a bit more cause only once I have my physical ability hampered do I appreciate how easy moving was before. NZ has it's Bird of the Year Competition coming up and I'd sorely like Kererū to go back to back. If you haven't seen this critter before, They are plump, gorgeous, make a delightful 'Wooshwooshwoosh' sound when they take off and are known to get drunk from eating fermented berries and falling out of their trees. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2018/oct/15/new-zealand-bird-of-the-year-drunk-gluttonous-kereru-pigeon-wins Described by the our very own conservation group as gluttonous and glamourous - how could you not crown them once more?
