Very well done as always, Radio Jem
Thank you Cyprus Pat........ is it bedtime now?
Nice to have our Mascot Fly popping in earlier.

An entertaining game of rugby. Both teams played well imho.
Shame that Tonga weren't good enough tonight to get more points though.

Even if the All Blacks do not win the world cup they have won a lot of school children's hearts with them taking time out to be in different areas for chats etc.

I would like to see a Wales v NZ at the end, but never under estimate the French.

Game 1

SAMOAN NATIONAL ANTHEM (with lyrics)

SCOTLAND ~ O FLOWER OF SCOTLAND

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2V2SsAXMsUg

No Samoan or Scots that I know of. Another haka so wonder if Kandj will hide again. I'm in a yellow top and dark lavender cut offs so I don't think any of the teams will match me.

Hope you're feeling well.

Pups just gone out in disgust, floor has been mopped and it had Dettol in it. She's not keen on the smell. Well it keeps her off the wet floor. ;-)

Washed her bedding yesterday and added Dettol, she was ok with that. All the windows are open - it's 28 C so is drying quickly and a breeze is helping. I'm sure the smell will soon go.

Will do the rugby first half but then must get ready. Have to be at the restaurant early.

Don't know what time we'll get back but I'll look in if and when I can. :-D

Game 2 Anthems
