They're coming from both directions .. !!

Clouds that is....
Popped out last night for a quick scan round with the little 80mm at the nearly full moon through the clouds.
The lower layer was howling through from NE to SW but up higher there was a layer going SW to NE. Couple of fronts colliding I guess.

You just can't win some nights ..
I went back to the Rugby .. we won that !

We don't even have that! Very, very few games have been shown here in Oz, only 17 of the 48 so far. It's become the biggest non-event that someone's paying for, . They obviously don't think much of Rugby to trash it for everyone else.

We've only seen a few Alex. We're not Rugby heads but the event itself has been good fun, flags and stuff everywhere. We don't have Sky so been only watching some of the Free-to-air on Maori TV. Real hard case commentaries too, not the stuffed up ponces that the mainstream channels have on.
They have had Gavin Hastings from Scotland on the team, excellent commentator, ex scottish national and test player and a couple of local rugby heroes and it's been hilarious with some of the comments they come up with.
Nearly over though, two weeks, four games and that's it but it's kept us all amused watching the lost camper vans full of confused tourists.
