I’m not much of a sports type. That is to say, I hate most sport. However when there’s a large global event I often find myself being ever-so-slightly interested…Olympics, Football World Cup and more recently the Rugby World Cup. Now days I’m expected to support my local team - and in this case that would be the All Blacks.

They didn’t do too well.

So I really had no choice but to support my original team: The Springboks.

This morning I woke up at 6am and drove the 20 odd kilometres over the Harbour Bridge to the deep North Shore to a bar called Bar Africa (well, what did you expect!?) to watch the Rugby World Cup final. South Africa vs. England. I guess by this point you can tell that South Africa won.

Even though I was up far too early for a Sunday I had a thoroughly enjoyable time watching the final. I’m glad South Africa won, and I’m glad to have been a part of an awesome, enthusiastic support party!

Go BOKKE!

Thank god for long weekends.

What they are for me is an extra day to tweak our house. My mother works for Interface NZ - who are the NZ office of one of the planets largest and most sustainable companies. They produce modular flooring and carpets. My mother was able to sort us out some very awesome and stylish new flooring for our house.

This weekend is going to be spent removing the shoddy, very well used carpets from two of the bedrooms and replacing it with the oh-so-awesome, zero-waste, carbon-neurtal, hot looking new carpets lovingly supplied by Interface.

I’m quite looking forward to it, even though it’s going to be a shit load of hard work. Hard work is not so much of a problem when one’s doing it ro improve one’s awesome house! Yay for home ownerage (is that even a word…?)

Once it’s all down and sorted there will be photos a-plenty. Keep an eye on the ole flickr stream.

I’ve created a new twitter account. This new twitter stream will have one post a day containing a TextMate keyboard shortcut. This is mainly to help me learn new keyboard shortcuts as I will have to research each one before I post it. Thanks to Justine for the awesome idea!

If you use twitter then you should start following. If you’re not a twitter type you should subscribe to the RSS feed.

Together we will learn and conquer the TextMate keyboard shortcuts :)
