TBH

It has been very hot in London this week. London is not the best city in the world to be in when it is hot. It is rather unpleasant having to catch the tube when dressed in a suit in this hot weather. I should not complain, but I do anyway.
The summer solstice was on Tuesday, just thought I’d mention that.
Next week I am going to the Coldplay concert on Monday, should be pretty good, I have been listening to their stuff a lot since X&Y was released. They are due to headline at Glastonbury tomorrow; I spoke to a friend at Glastonbury this morning who was soaking wet, as was all her belongings. It had rained torrentially over night and was still raining this morning. There were minor floods and two of the stages were struck by lightning. Glad I didn’t go now. Pretty funny though how we are all hot and bothered here in London and not too far away in Somerset, they’re cold and wet.

The Lions test tomorrow should be a good game. The wet conditions predicted should suit the Lions and it will hamper the All Blacks somewhat in their ability to play their expansive game. It is a good idea to play both Wilkinson and Jones at 12 and 10 respectively; both have excellent kicking games and this is how Woodward will try to win the game. They will attempt to kick behind the All Blacks’ back three and play for territory; thus Woodward has chosen experienced veterans in the forward pack, hoping for a solid game in tight and they will try to force errors from the All Blacks. Jones’s and Wilkinson’s kicking games will have to be spot on if they hope to succeed in this game plan, as it is unwise to kick the ball to the All Black backs and let them run it back towards you. My tip is for an All Blacks victory, if the conditions are poor then the margin will not be as great as it should be, but I am still giving the Lions a 12.5 points start. So tomorrow morning until around lunch time I will be a kiwi, I have even agreed to wear my flatmate’s NZ Maori jersey since he’ll have his All Blacks one on.

No blogging next week as on Tuesday I’ll be flying to Ljubljana, from there I will be taking a bus down to Split in Croatia and meeting up with my Cousin on Hvar. I will return to London the following Monday with a tan!

Go the All Blacks
