Morning young lady. How you doing Carol? Hope well. Are you still having great weather? Britain in the summer months if the weather is great is a beautiful place to be. Always enjoy those long evenings.

Here summer or winter the sun goes down to early.

Oops thought Landers won. Only catching up here. Sitting on the veranda watching the Impala eating the flowers from a tree inmy garden. The wild life here is superb. The reason I love living here.

Puma, not sure why you think this is a good result for us? A draw would have been a good result, or failing that a win for the Highlanders. But the TMO made the right call, as unfortunate as it was for the Highlanders.
