Rugby and salad

Melanie came over for dinner tonight. It's nice having guests, being able to have people round. I know Jo enjoyed being able to catch up with her too. We've not seen Mel since Marvin and Tianhao's wedding in April, I guess.

I had the best game of touch ever tonight. I was like a spritely Inga the Winger. I actually began to feel like it made a bit more sense. It helped that we played five a side and had a bit more space than usual but it did feel good to be doing something right for a change. Much credit must go to my team-mates though. I couldn't have done it without them ;)

We've started inviting people to the New Year's Eve bash we're planning on having. It's not likely to be as big as the three we've had in London in past years, but you have to start somewhere, eh? People don't know about the tradition yet. We're bringing New Year's karaoke to the Kiwis. I'm not sure the Kiwis are ready for it but I guess we'll find out, eh?
