Friday Night Lights

This was mums view last night - she went to the stadium to see Australia vs USA in the Rugby world cup.  She had good seats and the crowd were entertaining, except for the booing.  Mum was really surprised, she expected the mostly kiwi audience to support the US, but did not expect the annimosity towards the Australians. 

Afterwards mum stayed out past midnight, as her and her friends went to an Irish pub and listened to the band for a while.  So today, we had a bit of  a sleep in, and mum went for a walk around town this afternoon, but the wind and cloud picked up, so mum is spending the night at home with me.

Tonight, the All Blacks play France in Auckland.  We hope the crowd are better behaved tonight.

    I'm surprised they would boo the Australians. Glad your mom had a good time.

    Booing is bad manners. We don't like it.
