So it's that time of year again. That time when hoards of people pour off the train at Twickenham, dressed in outfits each one more inventive than the next. That's right you guessed it - it's time for the rugby sevens!!
This is the sporting event of the season which is not to be missed! And I will let you into a secret - it has nothing to do with the sport. I know that some of you out there would wholeheartedly disagree with me, but a lot of people dont go for the rugby they go for a day of drunkeness and bantar. I of course went to support Kenya, who I can only say played appaullingly 40-0 to Engalnd. I mean really??? Anyway I got over my sorrow in the only way I could - supporting anyone but England.
The theme of this years sevens was... Wait for it.. Out of space! In a nutshell this meant that I was surrounded by various Darth Vadars and Dr. Who's for the day. Standard for a Saturday right?
It was a pretty good day and if you haven't been before I strongly advise you to get your ticket for next year! I even got burnt by the sun (unknown in England) but that's just how good it was!!
Moving swiftly on from rugby antics, and continuing the theme of sevens, I crossed off one of my childhood dreams last night and saw S Club 7 perform in the O2 arena. Now any of you guys who are currently rolling their eyes or shaking their heads - don't. I knew you all grew up listening to them, no need to lie to me!
It was amazing - thank you for asking! And yes in case you were wondering I did know the words to every signal song :p and even though the photo above is slightly fuzzy I swear it's them (even though they are all a little bit fatter)
The other thing that happend this weekend was slightly strange! A rubber duck race down the Thames (yes you read that correctly). This was an attempt to raise money for my mate's excursion to Ghana over the summer. While the word "no" was never explicitly used by the authories, the phrases "bad idea" and "police involvement last time" did come up. However it all went off swimmingly (excuse the pun) and amused everyone walking down the Thames. If you fancy reading a bit more about what he is up to in Ghana and to lend a hand click
here!
All in all, even though it was hectic, it was a pretty great weekend! And even though it's Monday now I can confirm that I haven't recovered yet and need a very long sleep!!
