Being coach of the All Blacks is a tough job.

 

I just watched Ian Foster being interviewed after last Saturday's game. My feeling was, "Poor bugger. He's obviously trying his very best but things certainly don't always go his way."

Sport is about winning and losing. One can have the same feeling when playing music. That feeling that you're not Mr. Popular. I'm sure it happens to TC when he's playing golf - I know the guys in golf buggies upset him. He moans about some people at tennis too. Maybe TC's just what my mother used to call 'a bloody old moaner'? Well, he certainly is older than the rest of us around here. He confirmed that when he told us he was watching us.

"I'm watching you."

Okay, Robert is pretty successful on his violin but maybe toilet cleaning can be tough for him? Brushing off someone else's skid marks takes a bit of 'get up and go' afterall.

"I like to wear a crown when
I'm cleaning a throne."

Maybe we need to go easy on the All Black coach? I'm sure the boys will agree because I know they both love watching rugby. I saw a photo of Robert with a rainbow flag - that means he supports all teams. Peter is so keen on sport that he even played football at school. That's stepping out of the bubble! Though most of those kids in the football team (there was probably only one) were missing a leg or blind - you had to have a medical certificate to play soccer (as they called it) when I was at Marist Thorndon. 

Let's see if we get any comments.

Ciao tutti.
