Ready to go

Packed my bag ? - tick
Passport ? - let me check for the 915726418th time … tick

Reading material for the flights? - double tick
Camera ? - how dare you ask ??!!

I don’t need to worry about the flight tickets, these days they are electronic and the ticket for the game is waiting patiently to be collected by yours truly at the venue. Well, well.. looks like I’ve got all areas covered.

Following my first successful attempt last week at the Waratahs v Sharks game, I placed a bet on the final (look at moi … I’m turning into a true blue Aussie… next thing you know I’ll drink beer!), nothing extravagant though.. $5 on a Waratahs win, $5 on a Crusaders win. I simply cannot choose my side.

I’m also prepared to answer Little Miss (or Mr) Nosey’s question: “What is the main purpose of your stay in New Zealand?” .. I am soooo tempted to say : “I’m on a 2-day sheep shearing training course (huge smile)”. But I’d better not, I guess these short trips across the pond look suss enough already. Don’t want to be persona non grata on these shores, so I’ll be on my best behaviour. Maybe "Just coming for the Super- marplij - awesome - fantastic - brilliant - maravilloso - wunderbach 14 final .. what else???" will do!

Anyhoo… have a wonderblissful weekend everyone... I’m off… hooroo!
