It has been almost a year since I’ve posted anything here and, to be honest, I’m feeling pretty rusty in the writing department. Sometimes it isn’t like riding a bike. As much as you’d like it to be. Not surprisingly, I wondered if the words would come out right, would I be able to string […]
Image source Gosh, hello. That self-imposed writing hiatus over the holidays lasted a little longer than I intended it to (and just when my blog’s stats were beginning to show signs of promise. Oh well). But as things so very often are around here, there’s been little time to stop and reflect on life and […]
It’s Sunday morning and I’m up already, showered, dressed and breakfasted. And all before 7.30am. This, I might add, is a VERY rare occurrence for a Sunday. The ONE day I get to sleep in. The reason for this? We have Son#2’s rugby presentation day at 10am but first, I have to drive for an […]
 If you are lucky, there may be a time during your children’s sporting lives when they are part of a team who manage to win a premiership. They will have played their hearts out all season, survived the do-or-die rounds of quarter and semi-finals, and gone on to reign victorious in the grand final. The cups […]
I am still smiling about the rugby on Saturday night, when the All Blacks totally outclassed the Wallabies, with an emphatic win 22 – 0. There was much whooping and hollering at the television after that! The result wrapped up the Bledisloe Cup for another year and keeps that magnificent piece of silverware in the […]
Huge rugby day yesterday. Massive. It’s the pointy end of the rugby season and Mr 14’s rugby team had made the semi-finals. The boys were well and truly pumped and raring to go. If I heard it once, I heard it several times on the field: ‘fire up, boys’ and fire up they most certainly did. The […]
You know those rare moments in life when events conspire to put you in the right place at the right time? YEAH. I had one such moment yesterday. I was watching M play rugby for his school at the same moment that the Bledisloe Cup Road Show arrived at the ground. It was there for […]
This is a sight no-one likes to see on a sporting field, especially when you’re a parent and the player lying on the ground grimacing in pain is your own child. Bloody hell. The venue was the Junior Rugby State Champs in Orange, a lovely little town in western New South Wales, where we’d been enjoying some top notch rugby action over a […]
We had the mother of all storms in Sydney yesterday. Gale force winds of over 120km an hour were recorded on the coast. And this morning it’s still raining and very cold, about 12 degrees if we’re lucky. Winter, she has ARRIVED. This weekend I am off to Orange with Son #2 for the NSW Junior […]
I’ve been watching a lot of this lately: And this: And this: These are pictures of Son #2 during various rugby games. We’ve been going to a lot of these over the past few weeks, mainly due to the rep rugby season running alongside club rugby season AND school rugby season. We’re talking a whole lotta rugby, people. And if […]
Hi, I’m Sarah!
