Today in Auckland

Well it is Sunday afternoon so it is Saturday middle of the night in the UK however our clocks went back last night and the other day the UK clocks went forwards so NOW we are 11 hours apart with NZ being ahead of the UK.

My time here (3 weeks) has flown by but has been fraught with knee pain...however having exhausted the chiropractor I went to see the GP (whom i now love) because she gave me magic tablets....yes only 3 days of tablets and I AM pain-free .......................God bless medication! Yesteray we went to watch two grandsons play rugby in two different venues....very clever, we almost managed to be in two places at once....Sadly NO BRAWN around as Noah plays in the under 10s See picture on the left.

Gabriel is playing in the under 11 who are supposed to weigh no more than 65 kg and Gabe only weighs about 46 kg.....they played a game against Papatoetoe pronounced papa..toe E... and some of those kids were HUGE well overweight...apparently what they do is get someone else to weigh in for them..... they knocked some of our boys for six and dragged them down the field....

THIS IS GABRIEL ON THE PITCH.....a normal healthy lad.... and below is some pics of the others.....Gabriel actually mounted one islander one and clung on his back...riding him like a horse as a tackle....

Gabriel and Adam needing a large drink....

I should be doing the iRoning but it is too hot....

am having problems trying to place pictures in the correct place, can anyone tell me how...
