News: Pipeline....and gone swimming!



http://www.heronisland.com/oceanswims.aspx

And so the Rugby World Cup is over for another 4 years. Congratulations to NZ, and commiserations to France. France played with real heart and style. I think they actually made a better final to watch and rolled out a better performance than the Wobblies. This is worrying for me. I now have to question my blind faith in Robbie Deans.

Early summary this week as I’m off to Heron to do the inaugural ocean swim there.

Gotta dash!
