And forecast for clear skies and gentle breezes for opening. Don't go overboard on the curry the night before, there will be no chance of the toxic fallout being carried away.

With a 6 bird limit I envisage I will finish early so will work on my rugby game, probably two games to referee Murupara V Taupo Sports if I feel so inclined. More so that the body is hanging together after doing a Chiefs Cup 1st XV game Whakatane HS V Te Kuiti HS at 12.30pm. I enjoy the country rugby for a change not so much the boat races the ref has to do in the aftermatch
