Tempus fugit.

Phwouaaaaar what a week ...

It's been a tough grind on every front, it's not quite over and i'm absolutely knackered.

I've gotta go back in tomorrow - but only 'till about 12.30 - so it's not that dramatic, even if it's not the best way to spend a saturday morning.

I'll be able to put the time to good use by catching up on all the admin work that i've not had time to do and get things set up for monday morning.

It'll be peaceful, without too many interruptions and i can listen to whatever music i want to - so that's one positive i s'pose... heh, i might even treat mesel' to few nice croissants and a quick read from real news papers, y'know, the ones made from real paper, you even have to turn the pages over manually, the ones that make your hands go black, wayhayhayyyy !

Afterwards, i'll try to think to take a few photos and then post them here; spring seems to be finally arriving and it's nice to go for a stroll on the Champs when the sun's out .. when the sun comes out, the hem lines go up ;-)

I'll probably go the pub in the afternoon to see the sacre of the French rugby team.

My english colleagues were very surprised this week to hear that i'm not a supporter of les rosbifs they were all calling me a turncoat and a treasonous git hihihihihi ... but I said to them, it's normal since i don't follow english rugby and i haven't got a clue who is who or who does what.

Whilst i agree that they're arguably the best team in yurp at the moment, i don't like their game style; they rely to much on their pack, their forwards and on kicking. It's worked up 'till now, but to judge by their performance this year and during the winter, i think they've been sussed out, so there's nooo chance of 'em retaining the world cup next year then.

I largely prefer the french and the welsh playing styles which for me, sum up what the game is about.

It is supposed to be a game of passing à la main, after all.

So hopefully we should have a good match tomorrow and we'll all be praying for the oirish to win - although not by too much of a margin, that would really upset the applecart.

I'd be tempted to put money on the blacks for next year or even on les bleus - the 'boks and the wallabs' are in a period of renewal and i'm not convinced that they'll be fully moulded for next year - but we never can tell - and the same goes for the english team.

So that doesn't leave the punters with many possibilities.
